This very odd Plant is said to grow on the Mountains of Stiria and Hungary. I suspect this Figure is too mach humored, and doubted whether there were such a Plant in Nature, until Dr. Sherard, that most accurate Botanist told me he saw a Design of it done by that Laborious Naturalist Conradus Gesner, amóngst the Figures of two Volums of Plants, being such he had observ'd growing about him. These are now in the Hands of Dr. John George Volkamer, Physician at Nurenberg: I shall be very much obliged to him or any other, who will be pleased to send me a Specimen of it.
