Description: |
|
The white wild Campion hath many long and somwhat broad dark green Leavs, lying upon the ground with divers Ribs therin somwhat like Plantane, but somwhat hairy, broader, and not so long: The hairy Stalks rise up in the middle of them three of four foot high, and somtimes more, with divers great white Joynts at several places theron, and two such like Leavs therat up to the top, sending forth Branches at the several Joynts also al which bear on several Footstalks white Flowers at the tops of them, consisting of five broad pointed Leavs, every one cut in on the end unto the middle, making them seem to be two apiece, smelling somwhat sweet, and each of them standing in large green striped hairy Husks, large and round below next to the Stalk: The Seed is smal and grayish in the hard Heads that come up afterwards: The Root is white and long, spreading divers fangs in the ground.
The Red Wild Campion groweth in the same manner as the White, but his Leavs are not so plainly ribbed, somewhat shorter, rounder and more woolly in handling: The Flowers are of the same form and bigness, but in som of a pale, in others of a bright red colour, cut in at ends more finely, which maketh the Leavs seem more in number than the other. The Seed and the Roots are alike: The Roots of both sorts abiding many years.
There are forty five kinds of Campions more, those of them which are of Physical uses having the like Vertues with these above described, which I take to be the two chiefest kinds. |
|
Place: |
|
They grow commonly through this Land by Fields, Hedg-sides, and Ditches. |
|
Time: |
|
They flower in Summer som earlier than others, and some abiding longer than others. |
|
Use: |
|
It is found by experience that the Decoction of the Herb either the White or Red being drunk, doth stay inward bleedings; and applied outwardly it doth the like: And being drunk helpeth to expel the Urin being stop'd, and Gravel or the Stone in the Reins or Kidnies. Two drams of the Seed drunk in Wine, purgeth the Body of Chollerick humors, and helpeth those that are stung by Scorpions, or other venemous Beasts; and may be as effectual for the Plague: It is of very good use in old Sores, Ulcers, Cankers, Fistulaes and the like, to clens and heal them, by consuming the moist humors falling into them, and correcting the putrifaction of Humors offending them. |
