The Time. 



The firft flowreth in the end of May, and abideth vnto the midft of luly, 

 and fometimes longer. The other beareth his head of bulbes in lune and 

 luly. 



The Names. 



We haue receiued them by their names exprefled in their titles, yet the 

 laft hath alfo been fent by the name of Ornithogalum Ita/icum, but as all may 

 eafily fee, it is not of that kindred. 



I . Moly montanum Pannonicum bulblferum primum. 

 The firft bulbed Moly of Hungary. 



This firft Hungarian Moly hath three or foure broad and long greene leaues, folded 

 together at the firft, which after open themfelues, and are carried vp with the ftalke, 

 ftanding thereon one aboue another, which is a foote high ; at the toppe whereof doe 

 grow a few fad reddifh bulbes, and betweene them long footftalkes, bearing flowers 

 of a pale purplifh colour ; after which followeth blacke feede, inclofed in roundifh 

 heads: the roote is not great, but white on the outfide, very like vnto the roote of 

 Serpents Moly, hereafter defcribed, encreafing much vnder ground, 8c fmelling ftrong. 



2. Moly montanum Pannonicum bulblferum fecundum. 

 The fecond bulbed Moly of Hungary. 



The fecond Moly hath narrower greene leaues then the former : the ftalke is about 

 the fame height, and beareth at the toppe a great clufter of fmall greene bulbes, which 

 after turne of a darker colour ; from among which come forth long foot-ftalks, where- 

 on ftand purplifh flowers : the roote is couered with a blackifh purple coate or skinne. 



3. Moly Serpentinum. Serpents Moly. 



This Moly muft alfo be ioyned vnto the bulbous Molyes, as of kindred with them, 

 yet of greater beauty and delight, becaufe the bulbes on the heads of the fmall ftalkes 

 are redder, and more pleafant to behold : the ftalke is lower, and his graffie winding 

 leaues, which turne themfelues (whereof it tooke the name) are fmaller, and of a whi- 

 ter greene colour : it beareth among the bulbes purplifh flowers alfo, but more beau- 

 tifull, the fent whereof is nothing fo ftrong : the roote is fmall, round, and whitifh, en- 

 creafing into a number of fmall rootes, no bigger then peafe round about the greater 

 roote.

This three fquare Moly hath foure or fiue long, and fomewhat broad pale greene 

 leaues, flat on the vpper fide, and with a ridge downe the backe of the leafe, which ma- 

 keth it feeme three fquare : the ftalke which rifeth vp a foote and a halfe high or bet- 

 ter, is three fquare or three cornered alfo, bearing at the toppe out of a skinnie huske 

 diuers white flowers, fomewhat large and long, almoft bell-famion, with ftripes of 

 greene downe the middle of euery leafe, and a few chiues tipt with yellow in the 

 middle about the head, wherein when it is ripe, is inclofed fmall blacke feede : the 

 roote is white on the outfide, and very like the yellow Moly ; both roote, leafe, and
