The Garden of pleajant Flowers. 



Starre Daffodill before recited, but vnlike in the greatnefFe : this alfo is to bee obfer- 

 ued, that the purple colour that circleth the brimmes of the cuppe, is fo fmall, that 

 fometimes it is not well perceiued. 



4. Narcijfus minimus luncifolij Jiore. The leaft DafFodill of all. 



This leart DafFodill hath two or three whitifh greene leaues, narrower then the two 

 laft recited Daffodils, and fhorter by halfe, being not aboue two or three inches long, 

 the ftalke likewife is not aboue three or foure inches high, bearing one fingle flower at 

 the toppe, fomewhat bigger then the fmalnefFe of the plant fhould feeme to beare, 

 very like vnto the leaft Rufh DafFodill, and of the fame bignefTe, or rather fomewhat 

 bigger, being of a faint yellow colour, both leaues, and cup, or crowne, (if you pleafe 

 fo to call it) ; for the middle part is fpread very much, euen to the middle of the leaues 

 almoft, and lyeth flat open vpon the flower : the roote is fmall, euen the fmalleft of any 

 DafFodill, and couered with a blackifh skinne or coate. 



The Place. 



The firfl of thefe DafFodils haue beene brought vs from the Pyrenasan 

 Mountaines, among a number of other rare plants, and the laft by a French 

 man, called Francis le Veau, the honefteft roote-gatherer that euer came o- 

 uer to vs. The fecond was fent to M r . lohn de Franqueuille, before remem- 

 bred, who imparted it to mee, as hee hath done many other good things ; 

 but his naturall place wee know not. 



The Time. 



They all flower about the latter end of Aprill. 



The Names. 



Being brought without names, wee haue giuen them their names accor-

Narclflus Autumnalis minor albus. The little white Autumne DafFodill. 



This little Autumne DafFodill rifeth with his flowers firft out of the ground, without 

 any leaues at all. It fpringeth vp with one or two ftalkes about a finger long, euery one 

 bearing out of a fmall huske one fmall white flower, laid open abroad like vnto the 

 Starre white DafFodill, before fpoken of: in the middle of the flower is a fmall yel- 

 low cup of a ineane fize, and after the flower is paft, there commeth in the fame place 

 a fmall head, containing fmall, round, blacke feede, like vnto the Autumne Hyacinth : 

 the leaues come vp after the feede is ripe and gone, being fmall and narrow, not much 

 bigger then the Autumne Hyacinth : the roote is fmall and blackifh on the outiide. 



The Place. 



This DafFodill groweth in Spaine, where Clufius faw it, and brought it 

 into thefe parts. 



The Time. 



It flowreth in the beginning of Autumne, and his feede is ripe in the end 

 of October in thofe hot Countries, but in ours it will fcarce abide to f hew a 

 flower. 



The Names. 



The Spaniards, as Clufms reporteth, call it Tonada^ and he vpon the fight
