and increale euery yeare, there are ditrersotlier Dwarl-"e or bafiard Gentians which are annuall, and wholly perifh euery yearc alloone as thev haue perfeétecl their feedsand therefore by Clit-

fire they are fitly called Gmtizzme ﬁzgascr. Of‘

thefe I hauc onelyobfetued two lzindes (or ‘ra- ther varieties) .in this Kingdome, which I will here defcribe vnto you. The firft of thefe, which is the lefler,and whole figure wee here giue you, is a proper plant form: two or three inches high, diuided immediately frorn the root into three, foure, or more branches, {et at certaine {paces with little longilh‘ leaues, be- ing broadell at the letting on, and fo growing narrower or fharper pointed. The tops ofthefe ﬁalkes are beautiﬁed with long, hollow, and pretty large floures,c0‘rr{idering the rnagnitude of the plant, and thefe ﬂoures are of a darke , purplifh colour, and at their tops diuided into line parts, The root is iyellowi(h,fimall,ariclwooddy. The feed which is lmall and round is C0lll'3.i4 ‘clad In iongiih vellels.The fialkes and leaues are commonly ofa darke greene,or elfe of a brownifh our. , ' A A 4 This from a root like, yet a little larger than the former, lends vp a pretty Rifle round ﬂalke °ff°m€ f pan hi gh -,which at certaine f paces is fetwith fuch leaues as the laft defcribed,but larger : ﬁlm Out of the bofomes ofthefe leaues from the bottome to the top of the fialkeicorire forth little ‘9°€~ﬂalkes, which vfuallv carry three ﬂoures apiece 5 two fet one againfi another, and the third 39°“ 41 ﬁalke fornewhat higher-and fometimes there comes fortha ﬁrigle Home at the root of tliele oovftalkcs. The floures in their {hape,magnitude and colour,are like thofe of the lat’: mentioned, and allo the feed and feed veffels. The manner of growing of this is very well prefented by the E4 gum 0? the third Gentian,formerly defcribed in the chapter laft faue one aforegoing. ' II] The Place.
