but of the fame colour, and fometimes fomewhat redder, tending to a Scarlet, without 

 any circle at the bottome of the flower, in no other things differing from it. 



3. Auricula Vrfi minor Jiore tannetto. Tawney Beares eares. 



The leaues of this kinde haue a greater mew of mealineffe to be feene in them, and 

 not much fmaller then the former, yet fnipt or endented about the ends like vnto 

 them : the flowers are many, of the fame fafhion with the former, but fmaller, each 

 whereof is of as deepe a murrey or tawnie colour when it is blowne, as the buds of the 

 former are before they are blowne, hauing a white circle at the bottome of the flower, 

 and yellowifh in the middle belowe the circle. 



4. Auricula Vrji Jiore rubro faturo orbe luteo. 

 Deepe or bloud red Beares eares with eyes. 



This kinde hath fmall and long greene leaues, nothing mealy, but fnipt about the 

 edges, from the middle of the leaues forwards to the ends : the flowers hereof are of 

 a deepe red colour, tending to a bloud red, with a deepe yellow circle, or rather bot- 

 tome in the middle. 

 Auricula Vrfi There is another of this kinde, whofe leaues are fomewhat mealy, and fmaller then 



"&;'* 'alfoui"' anv ( 4 ^ at I ^ aue ^ eene ) ri 1 ^ naue mea ty leaues : the flowers are of the fame deepe red 

 orbe. J colour with the laft defcribed, yet hath no circle or bottome of any other colour at all. 



5. Auricula Vrji Jiore purpuro caruleo. The Violet coloured Beares eare. 



We haue another, whofe leaues are fomewhat mealy and large ; the flowers where- 

 of are of a paler purple then the firft, fomewhat tending to a blew. 



6. Auricula Vrji Jiore obfoleto magno. The Spaniards blufh Beares eare. 



This great Beares eare hath as large leaues as any other of this kindred whatfoeuer, 

 and whitifh or mealy withall, fomewhat fnipt about the edges, as many other of them 

 are : the flowers ftand at the toppe of a ftrong and tall ftalke, larger then any of the o- 

 ther that I haue feene, being of a duskie blufh colour, refembling the blufh of a Spani- 

 ard, whofe tawney skinne cannot declare fo pure a blufh as the Englifh can ; and there- 

 fore I haue called it the Spaniards blufh. 



7. Auricula Vrji Jiore rubello. Scarlet or light red Beares eares. 



The leaues of this kinde are very like the leaues of the firft purple kinde, but that 

 they are not so thicke ; of a little paler greene colour, and little or nothing fnipt about 

 the edges : the flowers are of a bright, but pale reddifh colour, not halfe fo deepe as 

 the two laft with white circles in the bottomes of them, in other things this differeth 

 not from others. 



8. Auricula Vrji rofeo colore. The Rofe coloured Beares eare. 



We haue another, whofe leafe is a little mealy, almort as large as any of the former, 

 whofe flowers are of a light red colour, very neare the colour of an ordinary Damaske 

 Rofe, with a white eye at the bottome. 



9. Auricula Vrfi Jiore cceruleo folio Eoragims. 

 Blew Beares eares with Borage leaues. 



This plant is referred to the kindred or family of the Beares eares, onely for the 

 forme of the flower fake, which euen therein it doth not affimilate to the halfe ; but 

 becaufe it hath patted others with that title, I am content to infert it here, to giue you
