The Places and Time.

The first, groweth in Stow-wood by Oxford, on that side next unto Barton, in the Ditch, on the right hand as you go in, and divers other places about that Wood. The Globe-like Throat-worts, and those with spiked Heads, grow natu∣rally in divers places beyond the Seas, as some in Candy, some upon Mount Bal∣dus, the Alps: as also in Germany, Italy, and Naples. A lesser sort of wild Bug∣losse leaved Throat-wort, was found by Bauchinus, on the Hills amongst the Swit∣zers. The Syrian Coventry Bells were found by Ranwolfius, at the foot of Mount Libanus in Syria, in the shadowy Woods. Gyant Throat-wort groweth in seve∣rall places in York-shire. And there is a little Throat-wort which groweth near unto the Lanes end, that leadeth from Dedington to Oxford, about the place where the way turneth, from Dedington to Dunstew. Many of these sorts, and per∣adventure, some others grow in the Physick-Garden at Oxford, and Mr. Morgans Garden at Westminster. They all flowre in the Moneths of June and July; but yet some of them flowre not till all the rest are past, and scarce perfect their Seed; but are increased by their Root.
