leffe, fome more, and fome lefle fpotted then others : Vfually it 

 is a deepe fcarlet, fpeckled or fpotted with white, hauing alfo 

 fome ftripes among the leaues. 



CaryofAy//s re/em rotundas Mafter Tuggie his Rofe Gilloflower is of the kindred of thefe 

 Magiftri Tuggie Tawnies, being raifed from the feede of fome of them, and onely 



poflefTed by him that is the moft induftrious preferuer of all na- 

 tures beauties, being a different fort from all other, in that it hath 

 round leaues, without any iagge at all on the edges, of a fine fta- 

 mell full colour, without any fpot or ftrake therein, very like vnto 

 a fmall Rofe, or rather much like vnto the red Rofe Campion, 

 both for forme, colour, and roundnefTe, but larger for fize. 



The Place. 

 I 



All thefe are nourished with vs in Gardens, none of their naturall places 

 being knowne, except one before recited, and the yellow which is Silejia ; 

 many of them being hardly preferued and encreafed. 



The Time. 



They flower not vntill the heate of the yeare, which is in luly (vnleffe it 

 be an extraordinary occafion) and continue flowring, vntill the colds of the 

 Autumne checke them, or vntill they haue wholly out fpent themfelues, 

 and are vfually encreafed by the flips. 



The Names. 



Moft of our later Writers doe call them by one generall name, Caryo- 

 phyllus fativus, and jtos Garyophylleus, adding thereunto maximus, when wee 

 meane Carnations, and maior when we would exprefle Gilloflowers, which 

 name is taken from Cloues, in that the fent of the ordinary red Gilloflower 

 efpecially doth refemble them. Diuers other feuerall names haue beene 

 formerly giuen them, as Vetonica^ or Betonica alter a, or Vetonica altilis, and 

 coronaria. Herba Tunica, Viola Damafcena, Ocellus Damafcenus, and Earbari- 

 cus. Of fome Cantabrica Plinij. Some thinke they were vnknowne to the 

 Ancients, and fome would haue them to be Iphium of Theophraftus, wher- 

 of he maketh mention in his fixth and feuenth Chapters of his fixth booke, 

 among Garland and Summer flowers ; others to be his Dios ant/ios, or louis 

 Jlos, mentioned in the former, and in other places. We call them in Englifh 

 (as I faid before) the greateft kindes, Carnations, and the others Gilloflow- 

 ers (yuaji luly flowers) as they are feuerally exprefled. 



The Vertues. 



The red or Cloue Gilloflower is moft vfed in Phyficke in our Apothe- 

 caries mops, none of the other being accepted of or vfed (and yet I 

 doubt not, but all of them might ferue, and to good purpofe, although not 

 to giue fo gallant a tinfture to a Syrupe as the ordinary red will doe) and is 

 accounted to be very Cordiall.

 Caryophylli filuejlres. Pinkes. 



THere remaine diuers forts of wilde or fmall Gilloflowers (which wee vfually 

 call Pinkes) to be entreated of, fome bearing fingle, and fome double flowers, 

 fome fmooth, almoft without any deepe dents on the edges, and fome iagged, 

 or as it were feathered. Some growing vpright like vnto Gilloflowers, others cree-
