Chap. XV.Lapathum sanguineum.Blood-wort.Among the sorts of pot-herbes Bloode-worte hath alwayes beene accounted a principall one, although I doe not see any great reason therein, especially seeing there is a greater efficacie of binding in this Docke, then in any of the other: but as common vse hath receiued it, so I here set it downe. Blood-worte is one of the sorts of Dockes, and hath long leaues like vnto the smaller yellow Dock, but striped with red veines, and ouer-shadowed with red vpon the greene leafe, that it seemeth almost wholly red sometimes: the stalke is reddish, bearing such like leaues, but smaller vp to the toppe, where it is diuided into diuers small branches, whereon grow purplish flowers, and three square darke red seede, like vnto others: the roots are not great, but somewhat long, and very red, abiding many yeares, yet sometimes spoiled with the extremitie of winter.Page 485: ; ; Tansie; Burnet; Rubarbe; Bloudwort; Sorrell.1Tanacetum.Tansie.2Pimpinella.Burnet.3Rhaponticum verum seu potius Rhabarbarum verum.True Raponticke or rather true Rubarbe.4Lapathum sativum seu Patientiæ.Monkes Rubarbe or Patience.5Lapathum sanguineum.Bloudwort.6Acetosa.Sorrell.The Vse of Blood-worte.The whole and onely vse of the herbe almost, serueth for the pot, amongother herbes, and, as I said before, is accounted a most especiall one for that purpose. The seede therof is much commended for any fluxe in man or woman, to be inwardly taken, and so no doubt is the roote, being of a stipticke qualitie.
