ciall differences, either in leafe or flower, tor bigndle, colour, or forme, as is expedient 

 to exprefle and diftinguifh them feuerally. This greater white hulhous Flowerdelucc 

 is like vnto the laft defcribed in all parts, fauing that it is a little larger and higher, both 

 in leate, ftalke, and flower, and much whiter then any ot' thefe mixed forts that follow, 

 yet not fo white as the former : the roote hereof is likewife a little bigger and rounder 

 in the middle.

There is another, whofe falling leaues haue a little (hew of yellownefle 

 Milkc white. j n them, and fo are the middle ridges of the arched leaues, but the vpright 

 leaues are more white, not differing in roote or leafe from the firft white. 



And another, whofe falls are of a ycllowilh white, like the laft, the ar- 

 Silucr colour. cne j i eaues are whiter, and the vpright leaues of a blewilh white, which we 

 call a liluer colour. 



Another hath the fals yellowilh, and fometimes with a little edge of 

 white about them, and fometimes without ; the vpright leaues are whitilh, 

 as the arched leaues are, yet the ridge yellower. 



\iabrii Another hath his fals yellow, and the vpright leaues white, all thefe 

 flowers are about the fame bignefle with the firft. 



But we haue another, whofe flower is fmaller, and almoft as white as the 

 a*g- fecond, the lower leaues are fmall, and doe as it were ftand outright, not 

 hauing almoft any fal at all, fo that the yellow fpot feemeth to be the whole 

 leafe, the arched leaues are not halfe fo large as in the former, and the vp- 

 right leaues bowe themfelues in the middle, fo that the tops doe as it were 

 meete together. 



And another of the fame, whofe falling leaues are a little more eminent 

 and yellow, with a yellower fpot. 



/ We haue another kinde that is called the Spanilh yellow, which rifeth

AlbiJa lutea. There is alfo another like vnto the pale yellow, but that the falling leaues

There is a fmaller or dwarfe kinde, brought from the backe parts of Bar- 

 bary, neare the Sea, like vnto the yellow, but fmaller and lower, and in 

 ftead of vpright leaues, hath fmall Ihort leaues like haires : it flowreth very

We haue another fort is called the party coloured Spanilh bulbous Flow-

Or the fals will be almoft wholly blew, edged with a blewer colour, the 

 arched leaues pale blew, and the vpright leaues of a purplilh blew Violet

Or the fals white, the arched leaues pale white, as the vpright leaues are. 

 Or not of fo faire a blewilh purple, as the firft fort is. 

 Some of them alfo will haue larger flowers then others, and be more li- 

 berall in bearing flowers : for the firft fort, which is the moft ordinary, fel-

 others there are fome that will beare vfually two and three flowers, yet fome 

 againe will beare but one. All thefe kindes fmell fweeter then many of the 

 Cnt]tafiut other, although the moft part be without fent. 



There is another kinde, that is fmaller in all the parts thereof then the 

 former, the ftalke is (lender, and not fo high, bearing at the toppe one or 

 two fmall flowers, all wholly of a faire blewilh purple, with a yellow fpot
