Chap.XVII.Buglossum luteum, siue Lingua Bouis.Langdebeefe.Vnto this place may well bee referred our ordinary Borage and Buglosse, set forth in theformer Booke, in regard of the properties whereunto they are much employed, that is, to serue the pot among other herbes, as is sufficiently knowne vnto all. And yet I confesse, that this herbe (although it bee calledBuglossum luteum, as if it were a kind of Buglosse) hath no correspondency with Buglosse or Borage in any part, sauing only a little in the leafe; & our Borage or Buglosse might more fitly, according to the Greeke name, bee called Oxe tongue or Langdebeefe; and this might in my iudgement more aptly be referred to the kinds ofHieratiumHawkeweed, whereunto it neerest approacheth: but as it is commonly receiued, so take it in this place, vntill it come to receiue the place is proper for it. It hath diuers broad and long darke green leaues, lying vpon the ground, very rough in handling, full of small haires or prickes, ready to enter into the hands of any that handle it; among which riseth vp a round greene hairy or prickly stalk, bearing at the toppe, among a few small green leaues, diuers small yellow flowers in rough heads, which turne into doune, containing within them browne yellowish small long seedes, somewhat like vnto the seede of Hawkeweede: the roote is wooddy, which perisheth quickly after it hath borne seed; but is tender while it is young.Page 487: Langdebeefe; Arrach; Blites; Beetes; Allisanders; Sweete Parsley.1Lingua bouis siue Buglossum luteum.Langdebeefe.2Atriplex siue Olus aureum.Arrach.3Blitum.Blites.4Beta.Beetes.5Hipposelinum siue Olus atrum.Allisanders.6Selinum dulce.Sweete Parsley.The Vse of Langdebeefe.The leaues are onely vsed in all places that I know, or euer could learne, for an herbe for the pot among others, and is thought to bee good to loosen the belly.
