PARKINSON AND GOODYER 327 



viii. John Parkinson's Garden List, c. 1620. 

 '"There is no separate list of Parkinson's plants that is identifiable, 

 but there are convincing reasons for the belief that Goodyer, in his 

 comprehensive list of Garden Plants, p. 387, marked those which he 

 knew to be growing in Parkinson's garden, or which he had obtained 

 from Parkinson, with a capital P. 250 plants are so marked. 



ix. John Goodyer's Garden Lists. 



None of the many separate lists of garden plants preserved 

 among the Goodyer papers can be indubitably produced as that 

 of his own garden at Droxford or at Petersfield. The long list in 

 his handwriting which we print as an index includes names of many 

 plants known to him, and not grown either by Coys or Parkinson, 

 but we cannot be sure that he grew them himself. And the same 

 criticism applies to several short lists of plants in his handwriting 

 to which neither date nor locality is attached. Such are the lists 

 on MS. II, ff. 23, 26, 27, 28, 45, 83. 



The following short list on f. 28 certainly seems to refer to his 



own plants. 



my Cameline similis is Leucoium sylvestre Clusii. 



my Sium agrorum is Petroselinum macedonicum parvo semine. 



Esula rotunda. Pomum spinosum flo. albo. 



Drabis. Phyteuma mons. 



Thysselinum. Buphthalmum, it came for Millefolium 



Stoebe. rubrum. 



Oenanthe angustifolia. Pseudodictamnus. 



& altera. Cochlearia minima. 



Digitalis ferruginia. Galega. 



minor flo. luteo, seed. Helleborus niger. 



Acanthus. Scorzonera by Sorbus. 



Mercurialis. Arbor vitae. 



Herniaria. Geranium Romanum. 



Stachys. Daucus Hispanicus like wild chervile. 



Trifolium fruticans. Tabaco. 



Blattaria purp. Carduus globosus. 



Iris Italorum. Leucoium melancholicum. 



[MS. ff. 18, 28. 



And the list of 95 names dated 16 Januarii 1620 (MS. 11, f. 83) 

 has every appearance of being a list of the more interesting plants in 

 some private garden, with references to the pages in Gerard where 

 they are described. This list includes ' Trinidado Tabacco '. 



More probability attaches to two lists of plants dated 1621 and 

 1622 and ending with a list of seeds obtained from William Coys 

 in the latter year. We believe that these, or a fair proportion of 

 them, flowered in Goodyer's garden at Droxford, and were described 

 by him then and there.
