of one euen colour, that is, of a fine pale yellow, fomewhat like vnto the colour of a 

 Lemon peele or rinde, but fomewhat whiter, which vfually we call a Strawe colour : 

 the greatneffe of the flower, the earlineffe of the flowring, and the difference of colour 

 from all the reft of this kinde, hath made me entreate of it apart by it felfe, as being no 

 leffe worthy. 



PfeudonarciJJus Hifpanicus fare albo maior. 



The great white Spanifh baftard Daffodill. 



This baftard Daffodill hath diuers leaues rifmg vp together, long and broad, fome- 

 what like vnto the firft Spanifh kinde, but a little broader, and of a whiter greene co- 

 lour, yet not fo white, as in the leffer Spanifh white kindes, hereafter defcribed : among 

 thefe leaues rifeth vp a round ftrong ftalke, about two foote high, bearing one white 

 flower at the toppe, bending downe the head, as all thefe white kindes doe, but is not 

 of fo pure a white, as the leffer kindes that follow, yet whiter then the greateft white 

 Spanifh kinde, next of all to be defcribed : the whole flower, as well trunke as wings, 

 is much larger then the leffer white kindes, and almoft equalling the firft Spanifh yel- 

 low, but a little longer and narrower, a little crumpled and turning vp at the brimmes : 

 the head and feede are like the firft ; the roote is greater and thicker then the firft Spa- 

 nifh, and doth not encreafe fo much, nor is couered with a blacke, but rather with a 

 whitifh coate. 



PfeudonarciJJus Hifpanicus maximus albidus, 

 The greateft Spanifh white baftard Daffodill. 



This kinde of baftard Daffodill is very like the laft mentioned Daffodill, both in 

 leaues and flowers, but larger in both : the flower of this is not full fo white, but hath 

 fome fhew of paleneffe therein, and more vpon the firft opening of the flower then af- 

 terwards, and is as great altogether, as the great Spanifh yellow, at the leaft with a 

 longer, and fomewhat narrower trunke : the feede is like vnto the former, and fo is the 

 roote alfo, but greater, being white on the outfide, and not blacke. 



PfeudonarciJJus Hifpanicus Jlore albo medius & minor, 

 The two lefler white Spanifh baftard Daffodils. 



There are two other of thefe kindes of white Spanifh Daffodils, one greater or lef- 

 fer then the other, but neither of them fo great as the former. The leaues of both are 

 of a whitifh greene colour, one a little broader then the other : the flowers of both are 

 pure white, and bending downe the heads, that they almoft touch the ftalke againe, 

 the greater flower hath the longer and narrower trunke; and the leffer flower, the 

 fhorter and wider open, yet both a little crumpled at the edges or brimmes : the rootes 

 of both are like one vnto another, but differ in the greatneffe. From the feede of thefe 

 haue fprung much variety, few or none keeping either colour or height with the mo- 

 ther plants. 



PfeudonarciJJus Anglicus vu/garis. Our common Englifh wilde baftard Daffodill. 



This baftard Daffodill is fo common in all England, both in Copfes, Woods, and 

 Orchards, that I might well forbeare the defcription thereof, and efpecially, in that 

 growing wilde, it is of little refpeft in our Garden : but yet, left I bee challenged of 

 ignorance in common plants, and in regard of fome variety therein worth the mark- 

 ing, I will fet downe his defcription and variety as briefly as I may : It hath three or 

 foure grayifh greene leaues, long and fomewhat narrow, among which rifeth vp the 

 ftalke, about a fpan high or little higher, bearing at the toppe, out of a skinnie huske, 

 as all other Daffodils haue, one flower (although fometimes I haue feene two toge- 

 ther) fomewhat large, hauing the fix leaues that ftand like wings, of a pale yellow co- 

 lour, and the long trunke in the middle of a faire yellow, with the edges or brimmes 

 a little crumpled or vneuen : after the flower is paft, it beareth a round head, feeming 

 three fquare, containing round blacke feede ; the roote is fomewhat blackifh on the 

 outfide.
