Thatfirft he would examine whether our ordinary Hifope be thetrue Hifope of Diofcorides, and whatpart thereofis compared or referred to the (hry/ocome, and then whether this Stechas Citrina bee the true of no. Thereare faith he, twoforts of Hifope well knowne tous, the one tame,orof the garden, witha {pikeof blue flowers, which is the morebitter : and the other wilde witha red flower,whichis leffe bitter. con they that de. nyeither of thefe to be the true Hifope ofD io/corides, are led by this reafon ; that the leaves o each of them are long and narrow,notlike unto any of tx kindesofOriganum, which are round, and by Diofcorides comparedto theleaves ofMarjerome, Pennyroyall, and Dittany, This faith he,hath troubled many that did not knowa third Kind, (which is the round leafed Hifope (declared in thefirft Chapter of Hifope) fet forth by him, and like the other twoforts, but that the leaves are round like unto Origanum or Marjerome. If this kinde of Hifope had beene Knowneto them,they would not havecalled for an hearb outofEngland,to fupply the place of the right Hifope, feeingit hath a place of it owne, even amongtheforts ofwild Origanum or Marjerome, whereuntoitis like, but fomewhat altered by manuring fromthat which iscommon, Butthis their Hifope or Pot-Marjerome hath no corymbitufts or umbells, they are rather a heape offlowers gathered together,as the wild Origanum or Marjerome hath, for no man did ever attribute any fuch headsortufts as are called corymbi, unto anyof them. This knot being untied, it followeth (faith he) that we try whether the Stechas Citrina be Chryfocome. In this their plane thereisno likeneffe of leaves,ofneither of the forts of Hifope to bee feene, to wit, either ofthe long or of the round leafed fort, befides the bufhy toppe of leaves andftalkes ofAowers of this Stechas Citrinaloofely fet together,is nota clofe tuft ofheads,{uch as Corgmbus (whichis a clofeumbell or tuft of heads orfeeds, fiuch as the Ivie hath) is ufually faid tobee, butare onelyafew yellow golden round fhining bullets, or heads at the toppes: the roote alfo thereof hath nothicke and {mall ftrings as Helleborns niger hath ; noris like to Cyperus, nor hath an auftere fweet tafte, all which Chry/ocome hath : He therefore (I meanetheforefaid Molinaus ) faith that hee hathoften in — ving thefe doubts,fuggefted to thofe Herbarifts that have knowledge inplants , that hearbe which the French ea Targon,and fomein Latine Zargun , Tarchon,Tragum, and Dracohortenfis , in Englifh Tarragon, and a |
