256 The Garden of p leaf ant Flowers. 



pion, and the Catch Flie, haue been fent vs from beyond the Seas, and are 

 onely nourfed vp in Gardens with vs ; the other Campions that are double, 

 haue been naturally fo found double wilde (for no art or induftry of man, 

 that euer I could be allured of to be true, be it by neuer fo many repetitions 

 of tranfplantations, and planeticall obferuations (as I haue faid in the be- 

 ginning of this worke) could bring any flower, fingle by nature, to become 

 double, notwithftanding many affirmations to that purpofe, but whatfoe- 

 uer hath been found wilde to be double, nature her felfe, and not art hath fo 

 produced it) and being brought into Gardens, are there encreafed by flip- 

 ping, and parting the roote, becaufe they giue no feede. 



The Time. 

 All of them doe flower in the Summer, yet none before May. 



The Names. 



The firft kindes are called Lychnides fatiuce, and coronarite, in Englifh ge- 

 nerally Rofe Campions. The next is called Lychnis Chalcedonica, and By- 

 zantina ; in Englifh, of fome Nonefuch, and of others Flower of Briftow, 

 and after the Latine, Flower of Conftantinople, becaufe it is thought the 

 feede was firft brought from thence ; but from whence the double of this 

 kinde came, we cannot tell. The names of the others of this kinde, both 

 tingle and double, are fet downe with their defcriptions. The feathered 

 Campions are called Armoraria pratenjis, and Flos Cuculi, and of Clulius 

 and others thought to be Odontitis Plinij. Some call them in Englifh Crow- 

 flowers, and Cuckowe-Flowers ; and fome call the double hereof, The 

 faire Maide of France. The Baflil Campions were fent ouer among many 

 other feedes out of Italy, by the name of Ocimoides arborea femper wrens. 

 Arborea^ becaufe the ftalke is more wooddy and durable then other Cam- 

 pions : And femper wrens, becaufe the leaues abide greene Winter and 

 Summer. Clulius calleth it Lychnis femper virens, becaufe it is certainly a 

 Campion. The lafl is diuerfly called of Authors ; Lobel calleth it Mufci- 

 pula : Others Armoraria altera : Dodonaeus Armerius flos quartus. Clufius 

 Lychnis filuejlris a Itera, in his Spanifh obferuations, and prima in his Hiftory 

 of plants, and faith, the learned of Salmantica in Spaine called it, Ben ru- 

 brum, as Lobel faith, they of Mompelier doe alfo : and by that name I re- 

 ceiued it firft out of Italy. It hath the name of Catch Flie, of Mufcipula the 

 Latine word, becaufe the ftalkes in the hot Summer dayes haue a certaine 

 vifcous or clammy humour vpon them, whereby it ealily holdeth (as I faid 

 before) whatfoeuer fmall thing, as Flies, &c. lighteth vpon it. 



The Vertues. 



We know none in thefe dayes, that putteth any of thefe to any Phyficall 

 vfe, although fome haue in former times.
