254 The Garden of p leaf ant Flowers. 



Campion, but not fo large, or rather refembling the leaues of fweete Williams, but 

 that they grow not fo clofe, nor fo many together : the ftalkes haue fmaller leaues at 

 the ioynts then thofe belowe, and branched at the toppe, with many pale, but bright 

 red flowers, iagged or cut in on the edges, like the feathered Pinke, whereof fome haue 

 taken it to be a kinde, and fome for a kinde of wilde William, but yet is but a wilde 

 Campion, as may be obferued, both by his huske that beareth the flowers, and by the 

 greyifh roundifh feede, being not of the Family of Pinkes and Gillowers, but (as I faid) 

 of the Campions : the roote is full of firings or fibres. 



Flore plena. The double kinde is very like vnto the fingle kinde, but that it is lower and fmaller, 

 and the flowers very double. 



8. Lychnis Jiluejlris ftore plena rubro. Red Batchelours buttons. 



The double wilde Campion (which of our Countrey Gentlewomen is called Bat- 

 chelours buttons) is very like both in rootes, leaues, ftalkes, and flowers vnto the or- 

 dinary wilde red Campion, but fomewhat leffer, his flowers are not iagged, but 

 fmooth, and very thicke and double, fo that moft commonly it breaketh his fhort 

 huske, wherein the flower ftandeth on the one fide, feldome hauing a whole huske, 

 and are of a reddifh colour. 



9. Lychnis Jiluejlris JJore albo pleno. White Batchelours buttons. 



As the leaues of the former double Campion was like vnto the fingle kinde that had 

 red flowers, fo this hath his leaues like vnto the fingle white kinde, differing in no o- 

 ther thing from it, but in the doublenefTe of the flowers, which by reafon of the multi- 

 plicity of leaues in them thrufting forth together, breaketh his huskes wherein the 

 flowers doe ftand, as the other doth, and hath fcarce one flower in many that is whole. 



i o. Ocymoides arborea femper wrens. Strange Baml Campion. 



This Strange Campion (for thereunto it muft bee referred) fhooteth forth many 

 round, whitifh, wooddy, but brittle ftalkes, whereon ftand diuers long, and fomewhat 

 thicke leaues, fet by couples, narrow at the bottome, and broader toward the point, 

 of a very faire greene and fhining colour, fo that there is more beauty in the greene 

 leaues, which doe fo alwaies abide, then in the flowers, which are of a pale red or 

 blufh colour, confifting of fiue fmall long broad pointed leaues, notched in the mid- 

 dle, which doe not lye clofe, but loofly as it were hanging ouer the huskes : after the 

 flowers are paft, there come heads that containe blackifh feede : the roote is fmall, 

 hard, white, and threadie. 



1 1 . Mufcipula Lobelij Jiue Ben rubrum Monfpelienjiuni. Lobels Catch Flie. 



I muft needes infert this fmall plant, to finifh this part of the Campions, whereunto 

 it belongeth, being a pretty toye to furnifh and decke out a Garden. It fpringeth vp (if 

 it haue beene once fowne and fuffered to fhed) in the later end of the yeare moft com- 

 monly, or elfe in the Spring with fiue or fix fmall leaues, very like vnto the leaues of 

 Pinkes, and of the fame grayifh colour, but a little broader and fhorter, and when it 

 beginneth to fhoote vp for flower, it beareth fmaller leaues on the clammy or vifcous 

 ftalkes (fit to hold any fmall thing that lighteth on it) being broad at the bottome 

 compaffing them, and ftanding two at a ioynt one againft another : the toppes of the 

 ftalkes are diuerfly branched into feuerall parts, euery branch hauing diuers fmall red 

 flowers, not notched, but fmooth, ftanding out of fmall, long, round, ftript huskes, 

 which after the flowers are paft, containe fmall grayifh feede : the roote is fmall, 

 and perifheth after it hath giuen feede ; but rifeth (as is before faid) of its owne feede, 

 if it be suffered to fhed.
