coiililting of fine leaues, fomewhat broiule and round pointed, ot a perfect red criin- 

 fon colour, Itanding out of a hard long round huske, ridged or crelled in tburc or fiue 

 places ; after the riowers arc fallen there come vp round hard heads, wherein is contai- 

 ned finall hlackilh feed : the roote is fmall, long and wooddy, with many fibres an- 

 nexed vnto it, and (hooteth forth anew oftentimes, yet perilheth often alfo. 



2. Lychnis Coronaria alba (implex . The white Role Campion. 



The white Role Campion is in all things like the red, but in the colour of the flower, 

 which in this is of a pure white colour. 



3. Lychnis Coronaria albefcens Jiue incarnata maculata & non maculata. 

 The blufh Rofe Campion fpotted and not fpotted. 



Like vnto the former alfo are thefe other forts, hauing no other difference to diftin- 

 guilh them, but tlie flowers, which are of a pale or bleake whitilh blulh colour, efpeci- 

 ally about the brims, as if a very little red were mixed with a great deale of white, 

 the middle of the flower being more white ; the one being fpotted all ouer the flower, 

 with fmall fpots and ftreakes, the other not hauing any fpot at all. 



4. Lychnis Coronaria rubra multiplex. The double red Rofe Campion. 



The double red Rofe Campion is in all refpecls like vnto the (ingle red kinde, but 

 that this beareth double flowers, confifting of two or three rowes of leaues at the 

 molt, which are not fo large as the (ingle, and the whole plant is more tender, that is, 

 more apt to perifh, then any of the (ingle kindes. 



5. Lychnis Chalcedonica Jiore Jimplici miniato. Single Nonefuch, 

 or Flower of Briftow, or Conftantinople. 



This Campion of Conftantinople hath many broad and long greene leaues, among 

 which rife vp fundry (tiffe round hairy ioynted (talks three foot high, with two leaues 

 euery ioynt : the flowers ftand at the toppes of them, very many together, in a large 

 tuft or vmbell, conlilting of fiue fmall long leaues, broade pointed, and notched-in 

 in the middle, of a bright red orenge colour, which being part, there come in their 

 places fmall hard whitilh heads or feede veflels, containing blacke feede, like vnto the 

 feede of fweet Williams, and hauing but a fmall fent ; the roote is very (tringie, farte- 

 ning it felfe very (trongly in the ground, whereby it is much encreafed. Flare olix>. 



Ot the lingle kinde there is alfo two or three other forts, differing chiefly in the co-Et canto. 

 lour of the flowers. The one is pure white. Another is of a blu(h colour wholly, 

 without variation. And a third is very variable ; for at the firft it is of a pale red, and 

 after a while groweth paler, vntill in the end it become almoft fully white ; and all thefe 

 diuerfities of the flowers are fometimes to bee feene on one ftalke at one and the fame 

 time. 



6. Lychnis Chalcedonica Jiore miniato pleno. 

 Double Flower of Briftow, or Nonefuch. 



This glorious flower being as rare as it is beautiful!, is for rootes beeing Itringie, 

 tor leaues and (talkes being hairy and high, and for the flowers growing in tufts, al- 

 together like the firft lingle kinde : but herein conlilteth the chiefeft difference, that 

 this beareth a larger vmbell or tuft of flowers at the toppe ot the (talke, euery flower 

 conlilting of three or foure rowes of leaues, of a deeper orenge colour then it, which 

 addeth the more grace vnto it, but pafleth away without bearing feede, as molt other 

 double flowers doe, yet recompenceth that defect with encreafe from the roote. 



7. Lychnis plumaria Jiluejlris Jimplex & multiplex. 

 The featherd wilde Campion (ingle and double. 



The leaues of this wilde Campion are fomewhat like the ordinary white wilde
