broad as the former, diuerlly intcrmixt with a rowc of paler, and a rowe of deeper 

 yellow leaues, wholly difperfed throughout the flower, the pale colour as well as the 

 deeper yellow, in this as in the other ("mall Englifh kinde, growing deeper hy (tan- 

 ding : Ibmetimes the leaues hereof are fcattered, and fpread wholly, making it (hew a 

 faire, broad, open flower: and Comet lines the outer leaues Ihind feparate from the 

 middle trunke, which is whole and vnbroken, and very thicke of leaues: and fomc- 

 time> the middle trunke, will bee halfe broken, neither exprefling a full open double 

 rlower, nor a clofe double trunke, as it is likewife feene in the finall Englilh kinde, as 

 fhall bee declared in his place: this beareth no fecde; the roote hereof is thicke and 

 great, and encreafeth as well as any other Daffodill. 



3. Pfeudonarc i/us aureus Hifpanicus Jim pleno. 

 The great double yellow Spanilh baftard Daffodill, or Parkinfons Daffodill. 



This double Spanifh DafFodill hath diuers leaues rifmg from the roote, differ, nar- 

 rower, and not ot fo whitifh a greene colour as the former, but more fullen or grayilh, 

 plainely refembling the leaues of the lingle great kinde, from whence this hath rifen : 

 the Ihilke hereof likewife rifeth alinolt as high as it, and neare the height of the laft re- 

 cited double, bearing one double flower at the toppe, alwayes fpread open, and neuer 

 forming a double trunke like the former, yet not fo faire and large as it, the outermoft 

 leaues whereof being of a greenifh colour at the firrt, and afterward more yellow, doe 

 a little turne themfelues backe againe to the (lalke, the other leaues are fome of a pale 

 yellow, and others of a more gold yellow colour, thofe that ftand in the middle are 

 (mailer, and fome of them (hew as if they were hollow trunked, fo that they feeme to 

 be greenilh, whitifh, yellow, and gold yellow, all mixed one among another: the root 

 is great, round, and whitilh on the infule, couered with darke coloured skinnes or 

 peelings. I thinke none euer had this kinde before my felfe, nor did I my felfe euer fee 

 it before the yeare 1 6 1 8, for it is of mine own railing and flowring firft in my Garden. 



4. Pfeudonarajfus Gallic us maior Jiore plena. 

 The greater double French baftard Daffodill. 



This greater double Daffodill, hath his whitifh greene leaues longer and broader 

 then the Imaller French kinde, hereafter following, to bee defcribed, and broader, 

 longer, and more limber then the double Englifh kinde : the ftalke rifeth vp not much 

 higher, then the fmaller French kinde, but a little bigger, bearing at the top one great 

 double flower, which when it is fully and perfectly blowne open (which is but fel- 

 doine ; for that it is very tender, the leaues being much thinner, and thereby continu- 

 ally I ubiect, vpon any little diftemperature of the time, to cleaue fo faft one vnto an- 

 other, that the flower cannot blow open faire) is a faire and goodly flower, larger by 

 halfe then the fmaller kinde, and fuller of leaues, of the fame pale whitifh yellow, or 

 Lemon colour, with the letfer, or rather a little whiter, and not fet in the fame order of 

 rowes as it is, but more confufedly together, and turning backe the ends of the outer- 

 moil leaues to the (talke againe, and hauing the bottome of the flower on the backfide 

 lomewhat greene, neither of which is found in the lefler kinde : the roote is very like 

 vnto the lefler kinde, but a little bigger and longer. 





5. PfcuJonarciJ/us Anglicus Jiore plcn r *. 

 The double Englifh baltard Daffodill, or Gerrards double Daffodill. 



e leaues of this double Daffodill are very like vnto the (ingle kinde, being of a 

 whitilh greene colour, and fomewhat broad, a little fhorter and narrower, yet differ 

 then the former French kinde: the flalke rifeth vp about a toote high, bearing at the 

 toppe one very double flower, the outermolt leaues being of the fame pale colour, 

 that is to bee feene in the wings of the lingle kinde ; thofe that ftand next them, are 

 fome as deepe a yellow as the trunke of the (ingle, and others of the fame pale colour, 

 with fome greene (tripes on the backe of diuers of the leaues : thus is the whole flower 

 variably intermix! with pale and deepe yellow, and fome greene (tripes among them,
