ABSTRACT

There is also a difference in the leaves of this plant, as well as in the two before mentioned; for the leaves that are nearest to the flowers are small and deeply cut, and that with two incisions, and it burns the tongue. The flower is small, and hath six, and sometimes seven leaves; the seedvessel is like unto the former, only it is less. The root is like that of the first, only it hath more fibers ', there is also a kind of thick sheath that surroundeth the stalk, as is also to be seen in the fourth. I found this plant near the first, in the Danish haven, the 16th of July / the third is yet smaller, but fuller of leaves, only they are less and not so deep cut, although they have also four incisions like the second; in this I did not find that difference, in the leaves between the lowermost and those that are nearer the flower. The flower is of five white leaves, its seed-vessel I could not yet see. Its roots are small fibers \ I found it in the South Haven, on the 16th of July ; it burns the tongue; the leaves are thick and juicy.
