The Names. 



So much hath been laid ot their names in their titles, as hath come to our 

 knowledge ; and therefore let that fufficc. 



Thus hauing gone through the whole Family of the true Daffodils, (for fo much as 

 th come to our knowledge) and fet them downe euery one by his name, and in this 

 order ; it is tit that we I poke of their baftard brethern, and (hew you them alfo, in the 

 lame order held with the former, as neare as the plenty of variety herein, which is not 

 the like with the former, will giue leaue, that when you know them both by face and 

 name, you may the better know to place or diftinguifh of others, that haue not parted 

 vnder this rod. 



Pffudonarciffiis aureus Hifpanicus maximus. 

 The great yellow Spanifh baftard Daffodill. 



The roote of this kinde of Daffodill is reafonable great, and blackifh on the out- 

 fide, defiring to be deepe in the ground ; and therefore will runne downe, where it 

 will then encreafe into many of-fets, from whence rife vp many thickc, long, and ftiffe 

 leaues, of a grayifh greene colour, among which rifeth vp a round ftrong ftalke, fome- 

 times three foote high or better, bearing at the toppe one onely faire great yellow 

 flower, Handing forth right, and not pendulous, confining of fix fhort and fomewhat 

 broad leaues, with a very great, large, and long trunke, of an equall largeneffe, but 

 open at the mouth, and turning vp the brimmes a little, which are fomewhat crum- 

 pled : after the flower is part, there commeth in the place a three fquare head, contai- 

 ning round, blacke feede, like vnto other Daffodils. 



Pyrenaus Hifpanico & Anglico Jimilis. 

 The Mountaine baftard Daffodill of diuers kindes. 



There is much variety in this kinde of baftard Daffodill : For one fort hath verie 

 broad and whitifh greene leaues, fomewhat fhort in comparifon of others, that are of 

 that breadth : the flower is wholly yellow, but a little paler then the former Spanifh 

 kinde, hauing the leaues of his flower long, and fomewhat narrow, ftanding like wings 

 about the middle trunke, which is as long as the leaues, and fmaller then in many other 

 of this kinde, but a little yellower then the wings. Another fort hath narrower green 

 leaues then this laft, and longer, the flower is all yellow, but the trunke is larger, wider, 

 and more open at the mouth then the former, and almoft as large as the former Spa- 

 nifh, but not fo high as the laft. A third hath the wings of the flower of a Strawe co- 

 lour, but the trunke is long and narrow, of a faire yellow. A fourth hath fuch like 

 flowers, but that it is fhorter, both the wings and the trunke : Some likewife haue the 

 wings of the flower longer, then the long trunke, and fome fhorter. Some alfo are all 

 yellow, and fome haue their wings onely a little more pale or white, like the Englifh 

 kinde: Some againe haue their trunkes long and narrow, others haue them larger and 

 wider open, and crumpled at the brimmes ; fo that it is needlelTe, to fpend a great deale 

 of time and labour vpon fuch finally refpected flowers, but that in the beholding of 

 them, we may therein admire the worke of the Creatour, who can frame fuch diuerfity 

 in one thing : But this is befide the text, yet not impertinent. 





Pfcudonarcijjus pallviut prttcox. The early Strawe coloured baftard Daffodill. 



The leaues of this Daffodill are of a meane fize, betweene the broadeft and the nar- 

 rower kindes, of a grayifh greene colour, and not very long : the ftalke rifeth vp a foot 

 high or more, whereon ftandeth one large great flower, equalling the greateft Spanifli 

 bollard Daffodill, before defcribed, in the largenefle of his trunke, and hauing the 

 brimmes turned vp a little, which maketh it feeme the larger : the wings or outer leaues 

 are in a maner as (hort, as they are in the greateft Spanifh kinde, (and not long flagging 

 down, like vnto the Mountain kinds) and ftand ftraight outright : all the whole flower is
