Fig?\n\nThe Leaves are of a deep Green above and pale below; its middle Rib prominent on both sides, the edges lightly curl'd, and as it were serrated; they are above a Span long, and not an Inch broad. This elegant Fern has been long an Inhabitant in our European Gardens: That accurate Botanist, John Bauhine, says he first saw it in the Garden of his old Friend Mr. John Heitzman, Apothecary at Basil, A. D. 1608. since which it hath been translated to Paris and London.\n\nBroad curl'd Hartstongue.\n\nLingua Cervina maxima undulato folio Bob. H. Oxon. 557. 5. Sect. 14. Tab 1.

Fig. p. 286. c. 13. 3.\nIts Leaves are of a pale yellowish Green, above 2 Inches broad, and a Span long; crumpled on the edges, but not so much as Doctor Plukenet figures it, neither is it notch'd on the edges, and in those respects Munting's Figure is truer. Mr. Bobart's also very well expresses it, which I suppose they both took from the living Plant. It's auriculated at the base, and as it were perforated by lapping over the Stalks, in both which it differs from the Narrow Curl'd leaved. The Honourable Capt. Charles Hatton, my worthy and learned Friend, some Years since told me, he had seen many curious Varieties of this Plant in the Royal Garden at Paris, about the Time of that famous Flowerist Mons. Morin, who assured him he had raised them all from the Seed of the Common Hartstongue.\n\nTrifid, Curl'd Hartstongue.\n\nLingua Cervina minor crispa, uno pediculo trifolia Val. H.R. Paris 108.

The Italians call both these Capriola, Sarguinaria, and Sanguinella (because the Boys there put the tops up their Nostrils to make them Bleed) The Germans call it Schweden. Mr. Ray in his History p. 1272. pl. 6.\npl. 6. joyns this with our English broad-leav'd Cocksfoot, viz the wild and mowred together. Its sown as Corn in place. many Places of Germany, and used by them in Pottage and Meat, as we do Oatmeal. Gesner says its eat in Sallets. It grew very plentifully in Chelsea Physick Garden from Seed, which Dr. Ludovicus Stockins, a curious Botanist, sent me.\n\nSingle Spiked Havergrass.\n\nFestuca spiâ simplici aristaâ.\n\nThe lower part of the Spike is more obviously divided into 3 or 4 loose alternate Locustæ, each ending in a long arista or beard.\n\nAsarabacca.

Marra di Cavaliero Italiz.*\n\nCalceolarius, a very curious Apothecary at Verona, who sent this to Matibiolus, asserts, that the Leaves eaten as a Sallet, will effectually take away Warts, and that a Dram of the Seed taken inwardly for 3 Nights together, will do the same. Camerarius says a certain Surgeon at Padua cured Warts in any part of the Body, by giving a Spoonful of the Seed powdered for 3 Days at the Moons decrease, by which Secret he got a great deal of Money. Lobel affirms, that the Juice of the Leaves outwardly apply'd will cure Warts, as also taken in Wine it helps the biting of a Mad Dog. This Plant is said to take its Name from Zacintha, now call'd Zante, an Isle in the Ionian\nJonian Sea, where it was first discovered.

Petrus Bellonius, who travell’d over the Holyland, says it was with this Thorn they crowned our Saviour, and gives this Reason for it; That in Judea there was not any Thorn so fit, pliant and prickly as this, and that in those parts it grew in so great abundance, that they burn it for Fuel, as we do our Grass or Furze.\n\nCommon Spindle Tree.
