Description: The common Star-thistle hath diverse long and narrow Leaves lying next the ground, cut or torn on the edges, somwhat deeply, into many almost even parts, soft or a little woolley all over the green, among which rise up diverse weak stalks parted into many Branches all lying, or leaning down to the ground, that it seemeth a pretty Bush, set with diverse the like devided Leaves up to the tops, where severally do stand long and small whitish green heads, set with very sharp and long white pricks (no part of the Plant being else prickly) which are somwhat yellowish: out of the middle whereof riseth the Flower composed of many small reddish purple threds; and in the Heads after the Flowers are past, come small whitish round Seed lying in down, as others do. The Root is small, long, and woody, perishing every yeer, and rising again of its own sowing.
Place: It groweth wild in the Fields about London in many places, as at Mile-end-Green, in Finsbury Fields beyond the Wind-mils, and many other places.
Time: It Flowreth early, and Seedeth in July, and somtimes in August.
Use: The Seed of this Star-thistle made into Pouder and drunk in Wine, provoketh Urine, and helpeth to break the Stone, and drive it forth. The Root in Pouder and given in Wine and drunk, is good against the Plague or Pestilence, and drunk in the mornings fasting for some time together, is very profitable for a Fistula in any part of the Body. Baptista Sardus doth much commend the distilled Water hereof being drunk; to help the French Disease, to open Obstructions of the Liver, and clense the Blood from corrupted Humors, and is profitably given against Quotidian or Tertian Agues.
Edgenote: Provokes Urine, stone, plague, fistula, french pox, Obstructions, Agues.
