bulbofum^ or bulbed Violet before defcribed, ioyned next vnto the Daffodils, becaufe 

 it is fo like them) among which rifeth vp two or three ftalkes fometimes, each of a foot 

 and a halfe high, bearing at the toppe, inclofed in a skinny hofe, as all the Molyes 

 haue, a number of fmall purplifh flowers, which doe not long abide, but quickly fade : 

 the feede is blacke as others are ; the roote is fometimes knobbed, and more often 

 bulbed, hauing in the knobs fome markes of the old ftalkes to be feene in them, and 

 fmelleth fomewhat like Garlicke, whereby it may be knowne. 



6. Moly montanum latifolium luteo fare. The yellow Moly. 



The yellow Moly hath but one long and broad leafe when it doth not beare flower, 

 but when it will beare flower, it hath two long and broad leaues, yet one alwaies longer 

 and broader then the other, which are both of the fame colour, and neare the bignefle 

 of a reafonable Tulipa leafe : betweene thefe leaues groweth a (lender ftalke, bearing 

 at the toppe a tuft or vmbell of yellow flowers out of a skinnie hofe, which parteth 

 three wayes, made of fix leaues a peece, laid open like a Starre, with a greenifh backe 

 or outfide, and with fome yellow threeds in the middle : the feede is blacke, like vnto 

 others : the roote is whitifh, two for the moft part ioyned together, which encreafeth 

 quickly, and fmelleth very ftrong of Garlicke, as both flowers and leaues doe alfo. 



7. Moly Pyrenceum purpureum. The purple mountaine Moly. 



This purple Moly hath two or three leaues, fomewhat like the former yellow 

 Moly, but not fo broad, nor fo white : the ftalke hath not fo many flowers thereon, but 

 more fparingly, and of an vnpleafant purple colour : the roote is whitifh, fmelling 

 fomewhat ftrongly of Garlicke, but quickly perifheth with the extremity of our cold 

 Winters, which it will not abide vnlefTe it be defended. 



8. Moly montanum latifolium purpureum Hifpanicum. 

 The purple Spanifh Moly. 



(This Moly hath two broad and very long greene leaues, like vnto the yellow Moly, 

 in this, that they doe compafTe one another at the bottome of them, between which 

 rifeth vp a ftrong round ftalke, two foote high or more, bearing at the toppe, out of a 

 thinne huske, a number of faire large flowers vpon long foot-ftalkes, confifting of fix 

 leaues a peece, fpread open like a Starre, of a fine delayed purple or blufh colour, with 

 diuers threeds of the fame colour, tipt with yellow, ftanding about the middle head : 

 betweene the ftalke and the bottome of the leaues it hath fome fmall bulbes growing, 

 which being planted, will foone fpring and encreafe : the roote alfo being fmall and 

 round, with many fibres thereat, hath many fmall bulbes mooting from them ; but 

 neither roote, leafe, nor flower, hath any ill fent of Garlicke at all. 



9. Moly purpureum Neapolitanum. The purple Moly of Naples. 



The Neapolitane Moly hath three or foure fmall long greene leaues fet vpon the 

 ftalke after it is rifen vp, which beareth a round head of very fine purple flowers, made 

 of fix leaues a peece, but fo clofing together at the edge, that they feeme like vnto 

 fmall cuppes, neuer laying themfelues open, as the other doe ; this hath fome fent ot 

 his originall, but the roote more then any part elfe, which is white and round, quickly 

 encreafing as moft of the Molyes doe. 





10. Moly pyxidatum argenteum Hifpamcum. 

 The Spanifh filuer cupped Moly. 



This Spanifh Moly hath two or three very long rufh like leaues, which rife vp with 

 the ftalke, or rather vanifh away when the ftalke is rifen vp to bee three foote high or 

 more, bearing a great head of flowers, ftanding clofe at the firft, but afterwards fprea- 

 ding much one from another, euery flower vpon a long foote-ftalke, being of a white 



filuer
