The Garden of pleafant Flowers. 



Martagoti Conftftntfaopotttehum macuLiinm. 

 The red fpotted Martagon of Conftantinople. 



We haue another of this kinde, that groweth fomewhat greater and higher, with a 

 larger flower, and of a deeper colour, fpotted with diuers blacke fpots, or ftrakes and 

 lines, as is to be feene in the Mountaine Lillies, and in fome other hereafter to be de- 

 fcribed; but is not fo in the former of this kinde, which hath no (hew of fpots at all. 

 The whole plant as it is rare, fo it is of much more beauty than the former. 



2. Martagon Pannwicttm, /iue Exoticum Jiore fpadiceo. 

 The bright red Martagon of Hungaric. 



Although this Martagon or Lilly bee of another Countrey, yet by reafon of the 

 neerenefle both in leafe and flower vnto the former, may more fitly be placed next vn- 

 to them, then in any other place. It hath his roote very like the other, but the leaucs 

 are fomewhat larger, and more fparfedly fet vpon the ftalke, elfe not much vnlike : 

 the flowers bend downe, and turne vp their leaues againe, but fomewhat larger, and 

 of a bright red, tending to an Orenge colour, that is, fomewhat yellowilh, and not 

 crimfon, like the other. 



3. Martagon Luteum punftatum. The Yellow fpotted Martagon. 



i . This Yellow Martagon hath a great fcaly or cloued roote, and yellow, like vnto 

 all thefe forts of turning Lillies, from whence springeth vp a round greene ftrong 

 ftalke, three foote high at the leaft, confufedly fet with narrow long greene leaues, 

 white on the edges vp to the very toppe thereof almoft, hauing diuers flowers on the 

 head, turning vp againe as the former doe, of a faint yellowifh, or greenifh yellow co- 

 lour, with many blacke fpots or ftrakes about the middle of the leafe of euery flower, 

 and a forked pointell, with fixe chiues about it, tipt with reddilh pendents, or a heauie 

 ftrong fmell, not very pleafant to many. It beareth feede very plentifully, in great 

 heads, like vnto the other former Lillies, but a little paler. 



2. Martagon Luteum non maculatum. The Yellow Martagon without fpots. 



The other yellow Martagon differeth in no other thing from the former, but onely 

 that it hath no fpots at all vpon any of the leaues of the flowers ; agreeing with the for- 

 mer, in colour, forme, height, and all things elfe. 



3. Martagon Luteum ferotinum. The late flowring Yellow Martagon. 



There is yet another yellow Martagon, that hath no other difference then the time 

 of his flowring, which is not vntill luly, vnlefle in this, that the flower is of a deeper 

 yellow colour. 



The Place. 



The knowledge of the firft kindes of thefe early Martagons hath come 

 from Italy, from whence they haue bin lent into the Low-Countries, and to 

 vs, and, as it feemeth by the name, whereby they haue bin fent by fome into 

 thefe parts, his originall (hould be from the mountaines in Macedonia. 



The fecond fort is fufficiently knowne by his name, being firft brought 

 from Conftantinople, his naturall place being not farre from thence, as it 

 is likely. But the next fort of this fecond kinde, doth plainly tell vs his 

 place of birth to be the mountaines of Pannonia or Hungarie. 



The third kindes grow on the Pyrensean mountaines, where they haue 

 been fearched out, and found by diuers louers of plants, as alfo in the King- 

 dome of Naples.
