Description: |
|
This shooteth up a slender Stalk with small yellowish Flowers somwhat early, which fall away quickly, and after they are past, come up somwhat round Leavs, somtimes dented a little about the edges, much lesser, thicker and greener than those of Butterbur, with a little down or Freez over the green Leaf on the upper side, which may be rubbed away, and whitish or mealy underneath. The Root is smal and white spreading much underground, so that where it taketh, it windwardly be driven away again if any little piece be abiding therin; and from thence springeth fresh Leavs. |
