thereof, Narcijfus Autumnalis minor albus, and wee in Englifh thereafter, 

 The little white Autumne Daffodill. 



Narciff'us albus Autumnalis media obfoletus. 

 The white Autumne Daffodill with a fullen crowne. 



This Autumne Daffodill hath two or three leaues at the moft, and very narrow, fo 

 that fome doe reckon it among the Rufli Daffodils, being fomewhat broad at the bot- 

 tome, and more pointed at the toppe, betweene thefe leaues commeth vp the ftalke, 

 bearing vfually two flowers and no more at the toppe, made of fixe white leaues a 

 peece, pointed and not round : the cup is fmall and round, like vnto the cup or crowne 

 of the leaft Rum Daffodill, of a yellow colour at the bottome, but toward the edge 

 a dunne or fullen colour. 



NarciJ/'tts anguftifolius luteus femper Jiorens Caccini. 

 The yellow Italian Daffodill of Caccini. 



This Daffodill beareth a number of fmall, long, narrow, and very green e leaue 

 broader then the leaues of any Rum Daffodill, among which rife vp diuers ftalke 

 bearing at the head two or three flowers a peece, each of them being fmall and yellow, 

 the cup or crowne is fmall alfo, of a deeper yellow then the flower. The Nobleman of 

 Florence, who firft fent this plant to Chriftian Porret at Leyden, after the death of ( 

 rolus Clufius, writeth that euery ftalke doth beare with him more ftore of flower 

 then are formerly fet downe, and that it neuer ceafeth to beare flowers, but that afte 

 one or more ftalkes haue been in flower together, and are paft, there fucceed other ii 

 their places. 



The Place.

The Names. 







The Latine names are impofed on them, as are fitteft for them, and 

 laft by that honourable man that fent it, which is moft fit to continue, anc 

 not to bee changed. But wee, to let it bee knowne by an Englifh name 

 Englifh people, haue entituled it, The yellow Italian Daffodill of Caccini : 

 if any man can giue it a more proper name, I fhall bee therewith right well 

 content. 



NarciJ/us anguftifolius,Jlue luncifolius maximus amplo calice. 

 The great lunquilia with the large flower or cup. 



Although this Daffodill importeth by his name, not to be of this family, but of the 

 next, confidering it is fo like vnto them, but bigger ; yet I haue thought good to place 

 it in the end of thefe narrow leafed Daffodils, as being indifferent, whether it 

 mould bee referred to this or to that. For this carrieth diuers long greene leaues, 

 like vnto the other Rum Daffodils, but thicker and broader, fo that it may with- 

 out any great errour, bee reckoned among thefe narrow leafed Daffodils, bearing at 

 the toppe two or three very faire large flowers, with a large and more open cuppe, 

 then in any other of the Rum Daffodils, both of them of a faire yellow colour, yet 

 the cuppe a little deeper then the flower, and a little crumpled about the edges, and , 

 hath a pretty fharpe fent : the roote is greater and longer then the other Rum Daffo- 

 dill, and couered likewife with a blackifh coate.
