1: in England (faith Camerzirim) there growes a certaine kinde of Lumiria, which hath mall)’ leaues,and {Ometirnes alfo fundry branches 5 which therefore Ihane caufed to be delineated, that other Herbarilts might alfo take notice hereof. Thus much Cizmerarim, Epz't.Mat.p. 644.where he giues an elegant figure of a variety hauing more leaues and branches than the ordinary, othervviffi not differing from it. _
Be fides this varietie there is another kiride fet forth by Clufiuegwhofe figure and defcriptiofl I thinke good here to fer downe. This hatharoot conliflting of many fibres {omewhat thickfif than thofe of the common l<inde:from which arife one or two winged leaues, that is, many leaues

and more diuided,and of a yellowilh greene colour. Amongllt thefe leaues there comes vp a fialke fat and juycic, bearing a greater tuft of floures or feeds (for I know not whether to call them) than the ordinary,but otherwifc very like thereto. It groweth in the mountaines of Silefia, and in form? places of Auftria. :1: :1: 3 Lxmzzria mirror Rzzmofa. ‘T The place, 5 mall branched Moon—wort.
