This great double Crowfoote, which is common in euery Garden through
England, hath many great blackish greene leaues, iagged and cut into
three diuisions, each to the middle ribbe: the stalkes haue some
smaller leaues on them, and those next vnder the branches long and
narrow: the flowers are of a greenish yellow colour, very thicke and
double of leaues, in the middle whereof riseth vp a small stalke,
bearing another double flower, like to the other, but smaller: the
roote is round, like vnto a small white Turnep, with diuers other
fibres annexed vnto it.

11. _Ranunculus Gramineus._ Grasse leafed Crowfoot
The leaues of this Crowfoote are long and narrow, somewhat like vnto
Grasse, or rather like the leaues of single Gilloflowers or Pinckes,
being small and sharpe pointed, a little hollow, and of a whitish
greene colour; among these leaues rise vp diuers slender stalkes,
bearing one small flower at the toppe of each, consisting of fiue
yellow leaues, with some threads in the middle: the roote is composed
of many thicke, long, round white strings.
There is another of this kinde that beareth flowers with two rowes of
leaues, as if it were double, differing in nothing else.
12. _Ranunculus Lusitanicus Autumnalis._
The Portugall Autumne Crowfoot.
This Autumne Crowfoote hath diuers broad round leaues lying on the
ground, set vpon short foote-stalkes, of a faire greene colour aboue,
and grayish vnderneath, snipt all about the edges, hauing many veines
in them, and sometimes swelling as with blisters or bladders on them;
from among which rise vp two or three slender and hairy stalkes,
bearing but one small yellow flower a peece, consisting of fiue and
sometimes of six leaues, and sometimes of seuen or eight, hauing a few
threads in the middle, set about a small greene head, like vnto many of
the former Crowfeete, which bringeth small blacke seede: the roote is
made of many thicke short white strings, which seeme to be grumous or
kernelly rootes, but that they are somewhat smaller, and longer then
any other of that kinde.
13. _Ranunculus Creticus latifolius._
The broad leafed Candy Crowfoot.
