This Crowefoote hath faire large spread leaues, cut into fiue
diuisions, and somewhat notched about the edges, greene on the
vpperside, and paler vnderneath, hauing many veines running through the
leaues: the stalke of this riseth not so high as the former, although
this be reasonable tall, as being neare two foote high, spread into
many branches, bearing such like white flowers, as in the former, but
smaller: the seede of this is like the former, and so are the rootes
likewise.
4. _Ranunculus albus flore pleno._ The double white Crowfoote.
The double white Crowfoote is of the same kinde with the last single
white Crowfoote, hauing such like leaues in all respects: the onely
difference is in the flowers, which in this are very thicke and double.
Some doe make mention of two sorts of double white Crowfeete, one
somewhat lower then another, and the lower likewise bearing more store
of flowers, and more double then the higher: but I confesse, I haue
neuer seene but one sort of double, which is the same here expressed,
not growing very high, and reasonably well stored with flowers.
5. _Ranunculus præcox Rutæfolio siue Coriandrifolio._
The early Coriander leafed Crowfoote.
This Crowfoote hath three or foure very greene leaues, cut and diuided
into many small peeces, like vnto the wing of leaues of Rue, or rather
like the lower leaues of the Coriander (for they well resemble either
of them) euery of them standing vpon a long purplish stalke, at the
toppe whereof groweth the flower alone, being composed or made of
twelue small white leaues, broad pointed, and a little endented at
the ends, somewhat purplish on the outside, and white on the inside,
sustained by diuers small greene leaues, which are in stead of a cup or
huske: in the middle of the flower are many small white threads, tipt
with yellow pendents, standing about a small greene head, which after
groweth to bee full of seedes like a Strawberry, which knobs giue small
blackish seede: the roote is white and fibrous.
6. _Ranunculus Thalictrifolio maior._
The great colombine leafed Crowfoot.
The lower leaues of this Crowfoote haue long stalkes, and are very
like vnto the smaller leaues of Colombines, or the great Spanish
_Thalictrum_, which hath his leaues very like vnto a Colombine, foure
or fiue rising from the roote: the stalke riseth about a foote and
a halfe high, somewhat reddish, beset here and there with the like
leaues, at the toppe whereof stand diuers small white flowers, made of
fiue leaues a peece, with some pale white threads in the middle: the
seede is round and reddish, contained in small huskes or hornes: the
roote is made of a bush or tuft of white strings.
7. _Ranunculus Thalictrifolio minor Asphodeli radice._
The small white Colombine leafed Crowfoote.
