| Notes | Hariot; p.8 Hariet says that flax and hemp are of “no great store in any one place, by reason it is not planted … He apparently found naturally growing plants having similar attributes except “leafe, and stemme or stalk does differ from ours”, but has expectation that, if planted, these plants will “growe in cordage and linnins’.; {H&D} proposed Linum medium as a possibility for this plant.; NOTE: Radford considers Linum medium as a var. of L. virginianum, and not a separate species as indicated by H&D. The other possible species of flax would be L. striatum.; |
