DOG MERCURY. Having described unto you that which is called French Mercury, I come now to shew you a description of this kind also. Descript.] This is likewise of two kinds, male and Female, having many stalks slender and lower than Mercury, without any branches at all upon them, the root is set with two leaves at every joint, somewhat greater than the female, but more pointed and full of veins, and somewhat harder in handling: of a dark green colour, and less denied or snipped about the edges. At the joints with the leaves come forth longer stalks than the former, with two hairy round seeds upon them, twice as big as those of the former Mercury. The taste hereof is herby, and the smell somewhat strong and virulent. The female has much harder leaves standing upon longer footstalks, and the stalks are also longer; from the joints come forth spikes of flowers like the French Female Mercury. The roots of them both are many, and full of small fibres which run under ground, and mat themselves very much, not perishing as the former Mercuries do, but abide the Winter, and shoot forth new branches every year, for the old lie down to the ground. 18th century, realistic, anatomically correct, plant guide, the plant is humanoid, 18th century art style, --chaos 15 --ar 1:1 --style raw --stylize 900 --weird 56 --sref <https://s.mj.run/Ij7Dav1v284>
