REIS 1. Portulaca marina noftras, Sea Purflane ofour countrey. The Sea Purflane hath divers hoary and grayifh purple ftalkes fomewhat wooddy, rifing from the rooté about a foote or more long,lying for the moft part upon the ground, bearing thereon many {mall thicke fat and long leaves ofa whitith greene colour fet withont order, at fome joynts more and at fome lefle, branching forth here and there,and bearingat the toppes tnany long {priggesor fpiked ftalkes, fet round about with greenith purple flowers,which tarne into whitith flat thinnefeedes like unto thofeofthe Sea drrache, the rooté is fome- whiat wooddy, with divers long firings joyned thereto and abideth with the leaves on the branchesall the Winter. 2. Halimis latifoliosfive Portélaca marina iscana major. The greater outlandith or hoary Sea Purflane. This hoary Sea Purflane fendeth forth divers thicke and wooddy hoary & brittle ftalks, foute or five foot high, whereon arefet many thicke leaves,without aity order fomewhatfhort & broad, fo hoary white that they almoft glifter : the flowers grow at the tops of theftalkes ondivers long {prigges, being moffic like the Olive bloffoine, but ofa purplith colour ; aftér which come broad and flat whitifh fede like unto thofe of Arache: thé-raote is long hard and wooddy enduring many yearesin the naturall places, but mult bée fomewhat defended inthe The Theater of Plants.
