colours, and mixtures, or varieties of colours in the Medias, which we could neuer fee 

 in the /Vr/v -.(<, and fo alfo fome in the P;-rfr'/tv.f, which are not in the Media s : yetthere 

 is farre greater varieties of mixture of colours in thcfe Medias, then hath been obfcr- 

 ued in all the Pretcwf, (although Clufius faith otherwife) eyther by my felfe, or by any 

 other that I haue conuerfed with about this matter, and all this hath happened by the 

 fowing of the feede, as I faid before. I will therefore in this place not trouble you 

 with any further circumllance, then to diltinguifh them, as I haue done in the former 

 arly Tulipas, into their foure primary colours, and vnder them, giue you their feucrall 

 varieties and names, for fo much as hath come to my knowledge, not doubting, but 

 that many that haue trauelled in the fowing of the feed of Tulipas many yeares, may 

 obferue each of them to haue fome variety that others haue not : and therefore I thinke 

 no one man can come to the knowledge of all particular diminutions.
