This kinde of Sengreene is composed of heads of larger, broader, and thinner leaues then any of the former, of a sadder greene colour, somewhat vneuenly endented about the edges, and not so close set together, but spreading forth into seuerall heads like as the former sorts doe, although not so plentifully; from the middle of diuers of which heads rise vp brownish or reddish stalkes, set with smaller leaues thereon to the middle thereof, and then brancheth forth into seuerall sprigs, set with diuers small reddish flowers consisting of fiue leaues a peece, the innerside of which are of a pale red, somewhat whitish, spotted with many small bloud red spots, as small almost as pins points, with some small threads in the middle, standing about a small greene head, which turneth into the seede vessell, parted foure wayes at the head, wherein is contained small blackish seede: the rootes are small threads, which spread vnder the ground, and shoote vp seuerall heads round about it. The Place. All these growe in Germany, Hungarie, Austria, the Alpes, and other such like places, where they cleaue to the rocke it selfe, that hath but a crust of earth on it to nourish them. They will abide in Gardens reasonable well, if they be planted in shadowie places, and not in the sun.

They flower for the most part in the end of May, and sometimes sooner or later, as the yeare falleth out. The Names. The first is called by Matthiolus, _Cotyledon altera Dioscoridis_, and _Vmbilicus alter_, but it is not the true _Cotyledon altera_ of Dioscorides; for _Sedum vulgare maius_, Our common Houseleeke, by the consent of the best moderne Writers, is the true _Cotyledon altera_ of Dioscorides, or _Vmbilicus Veneris alter_. I hold it rather to bee a kinde of small Houseleeke, as the other two likewise are. The second is called by some _Aizoum_ or _Sedum minus serratum_. The third hath his name in his title. Wee doe call them Nauelworts in English rather then Houseleekes, _Euphoniæ gratia_. The last may be called dented Sengreene with reddish spotted flowers, but some of our English Gentlewomen haue called it, The Princes Feather, which although it be but a by-name, may well serve for this plant to distinguish it, and whereby to be knowne. The Vertues. They are all held to be cold and moist, like vnto other Houseleekes. CHAP. XXXIII.
