The Places and Time

It groweth in Arabia, Asia, Syria, and all the East Countries, and in Indi∣a, as well a great way within the land, as near the Sea side; and in the islands there as in Socotora, as Garcius saith, where the best is made, as also in many places in Italy and in Spaiu, about Andalousia near the sea shore in such plenty, that divers thought to have made good store of Aloes there; but after tryall it was not found any way so effectuall as the Indian sort. It flowreth in the hotter Coun∣tries, in the first Summer moneths, but never in these colder; for it is preserved with great care from the frosts in Winter, which will cause it quickly to rot, if it feel never so little cold.
