BUN is a plant in Yaman , which is planted in Adar , and groweth up and is gathered in Ab. It is about a cubit high , on a stalk about the thicknesse of ones thumb . It flowres white , leaving a berry like a small nut , but that sometimes it is broad like a bean ; and when it is peeled , parteth in two . The best of it is that which is weighty and yellow ; the worst , that which is black . It is hot in the first degree , dry in the second : it is usually reported to be cold and dry , but it is not so ; for it is bitter , and whatsoever is bitter is hot . It may be that the scorce is hot , and the Bun it selfe either of equall temperature , or cold in the first degree . That which makes for its coldnsse is its stipticknesse . In summe it is by experience found to conduce to the drying of rheumes , and flegmatick coughes and distillations , and the opening of obstructions , and the provocation of urin . It is now known by the name of Kohwah . When it is dried and throughly boyled , it allayes the ebullition of the blood , is good against the small poxe and measles , and bloudy pimples ; yet causeth vertiginous headheach , and maketh lean much , occasioneth waking , and the Emrods , and asswageth lust , and sometimes breeds melancholly . He that would drink it for livelinesse sake , and to discusse slothfulnesse , and the other properties that we have mentioned , let him use much sweet meates with it , and oyle of pistaccioes , and butter . Some drink it with milk , but it is an error , and such as may bring in danger of the leprosy .
