{67} 3. Of such Plants as are proper to the Country, and have no Name.
(1.)
Pirola, or Winter Green, that kind which grows with us in England is common in New-England,[228] but there is another plant which I judge to be a kind of Pirola, and proper to this Country, a very beautiful Plant; The shape of the Leaf and the just bigness of it you may see in the Figure.
The Leaf of the Plant judged to be a kind of Pirola.
The Ground whereof is a Sap Green, embroydered (as it were) with many pale yellow Ribs, the whole Plant in shape is {68} like Semper vivum, but far less, being not above a handful high, with one slender stalk, adorned with small pale yellow Flowers like the other Pirola. It groweth not every where, but in some certain small spots overgrown with Moss, close by swamps and shady; they are green both Summer and Winter.[229]
For Wounds.
They are excellent Wound Herbs, but this I judge to be the better by far. Probatum est.
