        The Time.

        All of them doe flower early in the yeare, that is, in the
        beginning of Aprill, about which time most commonly Easter doth
        fall.


        The Names.

        Their proper names are giuen to each in their seuerall titles,
        being all of them kindes of wilde _Anemones_, as I said in the
        beginning of the Chapter, and so for the most part all Authors
        doe acknowledge them. We call them in English, because they
        flower about Easter, Pasque flower, which is the French name
        for Easter, or _Euphoniæ gratia_, Pasque flower, which may
        passe currant, without any further descant on the name, or else
        _Pulsatilla_, if you will, being growne old by custome.


        The Vertues.

        The sharpe biting and exulcerating quality of this plant,
        causeth it to be of little vse, notwithstanding Ioachimus
        Camerarius saith in his _Hortus Medicus_, that in Borussia,
        which is a place in Italy, as I take it, the distilled water
        hereof is vsed with good successe, to be giuen to them that
        are troubled with a Tertian Ague; for he saith that it is
        _medicamentum_ ὀκφρακτικὸν, that is, a medicine of force to
        helpe obstructions.


_Anemone siluestris latifolia alba siue tertia Matthioli._
The white wilde broad leafed Windflower.
