Some of these plants are figured in the plates, see Nos. 7, 8, 9, and 10.

These four following plants are all crows-feet, only distinguished by their leaves. The first and fourth are very like one another as to their leaves, whereof they have both two sorts, the undermost broader and not so much cut, and the uppermost smaller and deeper divided; yet they differ in this, that the first does not grow so high, and puts out many leaves out of one and the same root; but the fourth hath but one long stalk, whereon sprouted out one single leaf at a place. The fourth hath yellow flowers, but whether the first hath yellow ones (which I suppose) I cannot well remember. The flowers of the fourth hath five leaves, broader at the ends and smaller at the bottom; they grow out of a rough, perianthium or cup that is split into five also. The flowers of the first have six leaves, they are small, and the seed-vessels are like one another.

The roots are differing, that of the first hath many small fibers, and the fourth hath a thicker and longer, with tender and small fibers. The first burns the tongue like persicaria or flea-bean, but somewhat less than in our countries: the leaves of the fourth do not burn so.

I found them both in the Danish haven, the first in great quantities; they flower in July.
