lore fpecitied, hailing his outer leaues of a pale yellow colour, and his trunke of a dee- 

 per yellow: the diiefe differences in this from the former, is in the leaues, being nar- 

 row, and then in the trunke of the Mower, which is not crumpled or turned vp, as molt 

 of the other are; and that the hrimmes or edges of the flower is as if it had beene dipt 

 off, or cut euen. 





2. P/l-HtfonarciJ/'us llifpankin mc,lins & minor lut,u>. 

 The two letter Spanifh yellow baftard Daffodils. 



Thefe two letter kindes of Spanilh Daffodils, doc but differ in grcatncfle the one 

 i the other, and not in any thing elfe; fo that in declaring the one, you may vn- 

 and the other to bee a little greater. The letter then hath three or foure narrow 

 whitilh greenc le.iues, from among which commcth forth a Iliort ftalke, not a- 

 an hand breadth, or hall'e a foote high, bearing one (ingle flower, not fully ftan- 

 outright, hut a little bending downe, confuting of fix fmall leaues, Handing as 

 '.-lit a fmall, hut long trunke, a little crumpled at the brimmcs: the whole 

 rr, as well leaues as trunke, are of one deepe yellow colour, like vnto the great 

 ilh kinde: the roote is but fmall, and couered with a darkifh coate. The other is 

 part> greater, and (as I laid) differeth not elfe. 



3. PfcuJonarciJJus Hifpanicus I u tens minimus. 

 The lealt Spanilh yellow baftard Daffbdill. 



The leaues of this fmall kinde are ("mailer and (horter then the former, feldome ex- 



i ceding the length ot three inches, and very narrow withall, but of the fame grayifh 



^reene colour with the former : euery flower Itandcth vpon a fmall and fhort foote- 



. fcarce riling aboue the ground; fo that his nofe, for the moft part, doth lye or 



. an. h the ground, and is made alter the fame faihion, and of the fame colour with the 



ier, but much (mailer, as his roote is fo likewife. 



4. Pfeutfanarciffiis Gallicus minor fare pleno. 

 The letter French double baftard Daffbdill. 



The rootes of this letter French kinde (if I may lawfully call it, or the greater kinde 

 Wore fpecified, a baftard Daffbdill ; for I fomewhat doubt thereof, in that the flower 

 .it either is not made after the faihion of any of the other baftard Daffodils, but doth 

 more nearely refemble the forme of the double white Daffbdill, exprefled before a- 

 :nong the true Daffodils) are like vnto the double Englifh kinde, as alfo to the former 

 double great French kinde, and the leaues are of the fame whitifh greene colour alfo, 

 Suit narrower and not longer : the ftalke rifeth a little higher then the Englifh, and not 

 :u!ly fo high as the greater French, bearing one faire double flower thereon, of a 

 pale yellow or Lemon colour, confifting of fix rowes of leaues, euery rowe growing 

 miller then other vnto the middle, and fo let and placed, that euery leafe of the 

 rlower doth Hand directly almoft in all, one vpon or before another vnto the middle, 

 where the leaues are fmalleft, the outermoft being the greateft, which maketh the 

 ttower feeine the more beautifull : this and the greater kinde hath no trunke, or fhcw 

 >t any other thing in the middle, as all or moft of the other former double baftard 

 Daffodils haue, but are flowers wholly compofed of leaues, ftanding double euen to 

 the middle. 



The Place. 



The firft is vndoubtedly a naturall of the Pyrenaean Mountaines. 

 The Spanifh kindes grew in Spaine, and 



The French double kinde about Orleancc in France, where it is faid to 

 ow plentifully. 



The Time. 

 The fidt rlowreth at the end of March.
