The Garden of pleafant Flowers. 33 



or heads of flowers, in fome of thefe before they be blowne, are hoary white, or 

 hairie, whereas in others, there is no hoarineflc at all, but the buddes are fmooth 

 and purplilh : in other things this differeth not from the former. 



Of this fort allb there is one that hath but few fpots on the flowers, whofe colour isL/'A** Mm- 



fomcwhat paler than the other. '*"** *"

Martagon Ciimi,lc/i/'e niitcuttituw. The fpotted Martagon of Canada. 



Although this (Grange Lilly hath not his flowers hanging downe, and turning vp a- 

 gain, as the former kinds fet forth in this Chapter ; yet becaufe the green leaues Itand at 

 feuerall ioynts as they do, I mult needs infert it here, not knowing where more fitly to 

 place it. It hath a fmall fcaly roote, with many fmall long fibres thereat, from whence 

 rifeth vp a reafonable great Italke, almolt as high as any of the former, bearing at three 

 or foure diltances many long and narrow greene leaues, but not fo many or fo broad 

 as the former, with diuers ribbes in them : from among the vppermoft rundle of leaues 

 breake forth foure or fiue flowers together, euery one Itanding on a long (lender foote 

 Italke, being almolt as large as a red Lilly, but a little bending downewards, and of a 

 faire yellow colour, (potted on the infide with diuers blackifh purple fpots or ftrakes, 

 hauing a middle pointell, and fixe chiues, with pendents on them. 



The Place. 



All thefe Lillies haue been found in the diuers Countries of Germany, as 

 Aultria, Hungaria, Pannonia, Stiria, &c. and are all made Denifons in our 

 London Gardens, where they flourifh as in their owne naturall places. The 

 lalt was brought into France from Canada by the French Colonie, and 

 from thence vnto vs. 



The Time. 



They flower about the later end of lune for the moft part, yet the firft 

 fpringeth out of the ground a moneth at the leaft before the other, which 

 are molt vfually in flower before it, like vnto the Serotine Tulipas, all of 

 them being early vp, and neuer the neere. 



The Names. 



The firft is vfually called Martagon Imperiale, the Imperiall Martagon, 

 and is Lilium Montanum maius, the greateft Mountaine Lilly ; for fo it defer- 

 ueth the name, becaufe of the number of flowers vpon a head or (talke. 

 Some haue called it Lilium Sarafenicum, and fome Hemerocallis, but neither 

 of them doth fo fitly agree vnto it. 



The fecond is Lilium Montanum maius Jiore a/6o, and of fome Martagon 

 Imperial? fore albo, but molt vfually Martagon Jiore a/bo, the white Marta- 

 gon. The fecond fort of this fecond kinde, is called Martagon Jiore albo ma- 

 cu/ato, the fpotted white Martagon. And the third, Martagon fore carneo, 

 the blufh Martagon. 



The third kinde is called Lilium Montanum, the Mountaine Lilly, and 

 fome adde the title minus , the lefler, to know it more diftinftly from the o- 

 ther. Some alfo Lilium Silucftre, as Clufius, and fome others, and of Mat- 

 thiolus Martagon. Of diuers women here in England, from the Dutch name, 

 Lilly of Nazareth. The lalt hath his title Amcricanum & Canadenfe, and in 

 Englilh accordingly.
