Golden Maiden-Hair

To the former give me leave to add this, and I shall no more but only describe it unto you, and for the virtues refer you to the former, since whatsoever is said of them may be also said of this.

Description. It hath many small, brownish red hairs to make up the form of leaves growing about the ground from the root; and in the middle of them, in summer, rise small stalks of the same colour, set with very fine yellowish green hairs on them, and bearing a small gold yellow head, lesser than the wheat corn standing in a great husk. The root is very small and thready. Time. It groweth in bogs and moorish places, and also on dry shady places, as Hampstead-heath, and elsewhere.
