Turchm. The Turkic Gilloflower is hut :\ Umll flower, but of great de- 



light, by reafon of the well marking of the flower, being molt 

 vfually equally ftriped with red and white. 



Cambrtnfu Poott. The Poole flower, growing naturally vpon the rockes neare 

 Coglhot Caltle in the Ifle of Wight, is a fmall flower, but very 

 pleafant to the eye, by reafon of the comely proportion thereof; 

 it is of a bright pale red, thicke fpeckled, and very fmall with 

 white, that it feemeth to bee but one colour, the leaues of the 

 flower are but finally iagged about : it is conflant. 



The light or pale Pageant is a flower of a middle fize, very 

 pleafant to behold, and is both conftant and comely, and but 

 that it is fo common, would be of much more refpecl: then it is : 

 the flower is of a pale bright purple, thicke poudered, and very 

 euenly with white, which hath the mallery, and maketh it the 

 more gracefull. 



. The fad Pageant is the fame with the former in forme and 

 bignefle, the difference in colour is, that the purple hath the ma- 

 Itery, which maketh it fo fad, that it doth refemble the Braflill 

 for colour, but is not fo bigge by halfe. 



Malter Bradfhawc his dainty Lady may bee well reckoned a- 

 mong thefe forts of Gilloflowers, and compare for neatenefle 

 with molt of them : the flower is very neate, though fmall, with 

 a fine fmall iagge, and of a fine white colour on the vnderfide of 

 all the leaues, as alfo all the whole iagge for a pretty compafle, 

 and the bottome or middle part of the flower on the vpperfide 

 alfo : but each leafe is of a fine bright pale red colour on the vp- 

 perfide, from the edge to the middle, which mixture is of won- 

 derfull great delight. 



The belt white Gilloflower groweth vpright, and very dou- 

 ble, the blades growe vpright alfo, and crawle not on the 

 ground. 



The London white is greater and whiter then the other ordi- 

 nary white, being wholly of one colour. 



The (tamell Gilloflower is well knowne to all, not to differ 

 from the ordinary red or cloue Gilloflower, but only in being of 

 a brighter or light red colour : there is both a greater and a lefler 

 of this kinde. 



The purple Gilloflower a greater and a lefle : the ftalke is fo 

 flender, and the leaues vpon them fo many and thicke, that they 

 lye and traile on the ground : the greateft is almoft as bigge as a 

 Chrvflall, but not fo double : the lefle hath a fmaller flower. 



The Gredeline Gilloflower is a very neate and handfome 

 flower, of the bignefle of the Cloue red Gilloflower, of a fine 

 pale reddifh purple or peach colour, enclining to a blew or vio- 

 let, which is that colour is vfually called a gredeline colour: 

 it hath no affinity with eyther Purple, Granado, or Pageant. 



The blew Gilloflower is neither very double nor great, yet 

 round and handfome, with a deepe iagge at the edge, and is of 

 an exeeding deepe purple colour, tending to a tawnie : this 

 diflereth from all other forts, in that the leafe is as greene as 

 grafle, and the Italkes many times red or purple : by the greene 

 leaues it may be knowne in the Winter, as well as in the Sum-
