|
This riseth up with a hard round stalke about a foot high, parted into some branches, having divers soft green leaves somewhat long and narrow set thereon, waved, but not cut in on the edges, broadest towards the ends, and somewhat round pointed : The flowers are white that grow at the tops of the branches, spike fashion one above another, after which come large round pouches, parted in the middle with a furrow, having one blackish brown seed in either side, somewhat sharp in tast, and smelling of Garlick, especially in the fields where it is naturall, but not so much in gardens: The roots are small and threddy, perishing every yeare. And here give me leave to adde Methridate Mustard, although it may seem more properly by the name to belong to the Alphabet M. |
