LXXVII Lychnis viscosa sive Muscipula Catchflie THe next ranke or order of wild Campions is as I before sayd of those whose stalkes are glutinous and clammy which ●w are to be entreated of in this Chapter one of th● I have already set forth of my former booke called Muscipula Lobelij and therefore neede not describe it here againe I will onely give you the figure thereof here 1. Lychnis sylvestris viscosa latifolia Clusii sive Muscipul● Cretica Amiale ar ●ie Clusius his Catchflie of Candy This w●e Campion hath many leaves lying upon the ground which are thicke fat and hoary white somewhat like unto the leaves of the yellow Auricula urfi Beares eares or French Cowships smooth on the edges and a little pointed which doe so abide the first yeare of the springing the stalke riseth up the next yeares to the height of two or three cubits with two leaves at the joynts and spreading on both sides into branches 〈◊〉 the ground which are glutinous or cla●my causing every light or small thing to cleave thereunto as fl● strawes downe or the like at the toppes whereof and the joynts next below them come forth many flowers together standing a clusters but very small whose small huskes containe every one of them a small greenish yellow flower parted in two at the broad end the seede is small and blackish in the huskes the rootes are small and threddy 2. Viscaria maxima Cretica Alpini Great Candy Catchflie The roote of this Catchflie is white long and growing small downewards of a fingers thicknesse bearing about it a number of long leaves which are small at the lower end growing broader to beyond the middle and ending in a point from among which rise up divers stalkes a foote high with few joynts and two small long leaves at each of them bearing sundry white flowers at their toppes as it were in umbells and out of them sometimes other such like small flowers will start all of them like the ordinary Catchssie the seede vessells that follow are small and round pointed at the end with small blacke seede within them the whole plant is very clammy causing every thing to sticke thereunto that toucheth it This is not that former Lychnis latifolia of Clusius as Alpinus saith yet they are so like that any that shall judiciously view the figures without sight of the plants will surely account them both one and therefore I give you their severall descriptions and figures also 3. Muscipula altera flore albo The white flowred Catchflie The other Catchflie shooteth forth divers branched stalkes with small darke greene leaves set thereon by Muscipula Lobelij sive Ben rubrum Monspeliensium The French Catch flie 1.

Muscipula Salamantica minor The lesser Spanish Catchflie couples the tops whereof where the flowers stand and under them also are so clammy that it will sticke the fingers of them that touch them especially in the heate of the day and in the hot Summer time the flowers are small and white made of five leaves notched at the ends and smelling somewhat sweete the seede is small and blackish contained in small hard huskes the roote spreadeth many long strings under the ground and abideth many yeares 4. Muscipula Salamantica major The greater Spanish Catchflie The greater Spanish Catchflie hath divers grayish greene leaves lying upon the ground next the roote which is small and so long at the bottome
