other, yet very many abiding conftant double as at the tirlt ; and therefore 

 let this briefe recitall be fufficient in Head of a particular of all the colours. 



Anemone ChulceJonica maxima verftcolor. 

 The great double Windflowcr of Conftantinople. 



This great Anemone of Conrtantinople hath broader and greener leaues then any 

 of the tormer kindes, and not fo much diuided or cut in at the edges, among which 

 rife vp one or two ftalkes, (feldome more from one roote) hauing fome leaues about 

 the middle of the llalke, as other Anemones haue, and bearing at the toppes of the 

 ftalkes one large flower a peece, very double, whofe outermoft leaues being broadelt, 

 are greenilh ;it the firft, but afterwards red, hauing fometimes fome greene abiding Hill 

 in the leaues, and the red ftriped through it : the other leaues which are within thefe 

 are fmaller, and of a perfect red colour ; the innermoll being fmallcft, are of the fame 

 red colour but turned fomewhat inward, hauing no thrummes or threads in the mid- 

 dle, as the former haue, and bearing no feede : the roote is blackith on the outfide, and 

 white within, thicke and tuberous as the other kindes, but thicker fet and clofe toge- 

 ther, not I hooting any long (lender rootes as others doe. Some Gentlewomen call this 

 Anemone, The Spanilh Marigold. 



Anemone Chalcedonica alterajiue Pauo maior Jtore duplici. 

 The great double Orenge tawney Anemone. 



This other great Anemone of Conftantinople hath his large leaues fo like vnto 

 the laft, that one can hardly diftinguifh them af under; the ftalke hath alfo fuch like 

 leaues fet vpon it, bearing at the toppe a faire large flower, confiding of many leaues 

 fet in two or three rowes at the molt, but not fo thicke or double as the laft, yet feeming 

 to be but one thicke rowe of many fmall and long leaues, of an excellent red or crim- 

 fon colour, wherein fome yellow is mixed, which maketh that colour is called an O- 

 renge tawney ; the bottomes of the leaues are red, compared with a whitiih circle, 

 the thrummie head in the middle being befet with many darke blackifh threads : the 

 roote is like the former. 



Anemone Superitica jiue Cyparifsia. The double Anemone of Cyprus. 



This Anemone (which the Dutchmen call Superitz, and as I haue beene enformed, 

 came from the Ifle of Cyprus) hath leaues very like the laft double Anemone, but not 

 altogether fo large : the flower confifteth ot fmaller leaues, of colour very neare vnto 

 the laft double Orenge coloured Anemone, but more thicke of leaues, and as double 

 as the firft, although not fo great a flower, without any head in the middle, or thrums 

 about it as is in the laft, and differeth not in the roote from either of them both. 



Somewhat like vnto this kinde, or as it were betweene this and the firft kinde of 

 thefe great double Anemones, we haue diuers other forts, bearing flowers very thicke 

 and double ; fome ot them being white, or whitifh, or purple, deeper or paler, and fome 

 ot a reddifh colour tending to Scarlet or a Carnation colour, and fome alfo of a blulh 

 or flelh colour, and diuers other colours, and all of them continue conftant in their 

 colours. 



Anemone Cacumeni Maringi fiue Per/ica. The double Perfian Anemone. 



This rare Anemone, which is faid to come out of Perfia to Conftantinople, and 

 from thence to vs, is in leafe and roote very like vnto the former double Anemones 

 before defcribed ; onely the flower hereof is rather like vnto the fecond great double 

 Orenge coloured Anemone, vfually called Pauo maior fare pleno, being compofed of 

 three rowes of leaues, the outermoft rowe confiding of ten or twelue larger leaues, 

 and thofe more inward lefler and more in number, but all of them variably mixed 

 with white, red, and yellow, hauing the bottomes of the leaues white : but inftead of 

 a middle head with thrums about it, as the other hath, this hath a few narrow leaues, 

 of a deepe yellow colour in the middle of the flower, ftanding vpright.
