THe great Canterbury Bells have large rough leaves like those of a Nettle, but bigger; the stalks are square, divided into branches, whereon stand divers long hollow flowers like Bells, wide at the brims, and parted into five points, in some white, and in others of a deeper, or paler violet purple: the roots are hard and stringy, increasing and abiding many years, although the leaves and stalks die to the ground every Winter.
