The Forme.

Common Fumitory is a tender sappy Herb, sending forth from one square, slen∣der weak stalk, and leaning downwards on all sides, many branches two or three foot long; with finely cut jagged leaves, of a pale blewish, or Sea-green colour, somewhat like unto Coriander, as to the form, but of nothing so deep a colour: At the tops of the branches stand many small Flowers, as it were in a long spike, one above another, made like little Birds, of a reddish purple Colour, with whitish bellies commonly, though in the Fields in Cornwall, it beareth perfect white Flowers: After which, come small round husks, containing small black seed. The Root is yellow, small, and not very long, full of juyce whilst it is green, but quick∣ly perishing with the ripe Seed.
