Fruges.

Some Corn grows
upon a straw,
parted by knots,
as Wheat, 1.
Rie, 2, Barley, 3.
in which the Ear hath awnes,
or else it is without awnes,
and it nourisheth the Corn
in the Husk.		Frumenta quædam crescunt
super culmum,
distinctum geniculis,
ut, Triticum, 1.
Siligo, 2. Hordeum, 3.
in quibus Spica habet Aristas,
aut est mutica,

in gluma.
Some instead of an ear,
have a rizom (or plume)
containing the corn
by bunches,
as Oats, 4. Millet, 5.
Turkey-wheat, 6.		Quædam pro Spica,
habent Paniculam,

Pulse have Cods,
which enclose the corns
in two Shales,
