But that 1 may informe you, ( whichto fome may feeme doubtfull ) that Srabe hatha prickly ftalke, whichis neither extent in Diofcorides nor Galens Coppies + let me thew you it out: of Theophrafine inhis fixt Booke and firft Chapter where he numbreth PA/eos,which as he faith, wasalfo called Stabe, (and nor Phioum, wheteok hee {peaketh in his fourth Booke and eleventh Chapter,amongthofe plants. that grow in watery and morifh places; the likeneffe ofwhich two words, hath deceived many, miftaking them to be one thing, )among thof ‘plants, that havea leafe befides the thornes on their ftalkes, which fentence Gaza (as I faid before) tranflateth, ehatic hath befide the prickly leafe, another leafe alfo by it, for Theophraftws in the fifth Chapter ofthe faid fixth Booke, doth deny Phileas, and Hippophaes to have any prickly but a fmoothleafe, although in the third Chapter of the {ame fixth Booke, he feemethto fay, that Phleos, Tribulus, and Capparis have prickly leaves; be- fide the thorny ftalkes, but both of them cannot betrue. And herein Pémy hath fhamefally erred in-eonfounding Theophraftus, making Phleos and phlenm to be one thing, and hath beene the canle of many others errours alfo. Plutarch in the life of Thefeus about the begining doth maine stzbe. among the thorny plants, whofe wordsare thefe ; AZenalippifilins Ioxus Ornito focius deducende in Caryam Colowiz fuit unde Toxides originem traxerunt, quibis mos est patruys, neque Spins Afparagi, neque S.tebes igne cremiari (ed honore & calty profequi. In Englifo thus, Toxws the fonne of AZenalippus was joyned with Ormtus, toleade forth a colony'to Carya,ftom whence the Joxides have their originall, whofe Countries cuftome itis neither to burne the thornes ofAfparagus norof Stabe, but to give them honourand reverence: thus much P/utarch, ¢4tius alfoinhis third Booke and one and twentieth Chapter, remembreth Srebe, faying that Epithymum, (ot mote truely Daddsy) groweth uponit. But nowas I have fhewed you that the true St.deis a prickly or thorny plant, and that there= fore neither Scabious nor this Stabe is it, Let me here alfo fhew'you what is the true Stele, which is indeede wore thy the hearinig,buc that [referve icto a fitteplace, thatisamong the thorny plants, whereitis called Pimpinella spinofa, ox Poterion, but I forbeare any farther to {peake thereof m this place, The firft of thefehere feedowne, is called by (ufius Stebe Salamanticaprima, by Dodonens Aphyllanthes prima, by Banhinus Stabe major folis Cin choraceis mollibus lanuginofis.

The fifth is called by Clufius, Stebe Austriaca humilis, by Gefner in collettioneftirpium, (entaury majorts Species minor, and by Bauhizus Stebe incana Cyanofimilistenuifolia, The fixth is called by Taberrsontanus and Gerard, Iacea flore albo, and by Banhinus Stabe calyculis argenteis minor, The feaventhis called by Alpinus lib de plants exoticis as it is in the title, The eighth is called by Ponainthis Italian Baldus, Cyanus (pinofus Creticus and foalfo by Alpinws in lib. de exoa ticis plantis; Clufiasin his Avétwariam,to the other Appendix to his hiftory of plants, calleth it Srebe peregrina, and faith that Iacobus Platean, who fenthima branch oftheplant, with the figuré thereof drawne, having gathered it in the Garden of the Duke of Are/chote, in Bellomonte, called it Stebé fpinofa fruticans.
