Thofe fingle flowers being like vnto Pinkes that rife from the fowing of the orenge 

 tawney, I bring not into this c/afsis, hauing already fpoken of them in the precedent 

 Chapter. 



The Place. 



Thefe are all like as the former, nourifhed in Gardens with vs, although 

 many of them are found wilde in many places of Auftria, Hungarie, and 

 Germany, on the mountaines, and in many other places, as Clufius recor- 

 deth. The ordinary Thrift groweth in the fait Marfhes at Chattam by Ro- 

 chefter, and in many other places in England : but the great kinde was ga- 

 thered in Spaine, by Guillaume Boel that painefull fearcher of fimples, 

 and the feede thereof imparted to me, from whence I had diuers plants, 

 but one yeare after another they all perifhed. 



The Time. 



Many of thefe Pinkes both fingle and double, doe flower before any 

 Gilloflower, and fo continue vntill Augurt, and fome, moft of the Sum- 

 mer and Autumne. 



The Names. 



The feuerall titles that are giuen to thefe Pinkes, may fuffice for their par- 

 ticular names: and for their generall they haue beene exprefTed in the for- 

 mer Chapter, beeing of the fame kindred, but that they are fmaller, and 

 more frequently found wilde. The two forts of Thrift are called Garyophyl- 

 lus Marintts. The greater, Maior & Mediterraneus ; In Englifh, The grea- 

 ter or Leuant Thrift, or Sea Gilloflower. The lefler Minimus, and is ac- 

 counted of fome to be a grafTe, and therefore called Grameti Marinum & 

 Polyanthemum ; In Englifh, Thrift, Sea grafle, and our Ladies Cufhion, 

 or Sea Cufhion. 



The Vertues. 



It is thought by diuers, that their vertues are anfwerable to the Gillo- 

 flowers, yet as they are of little vfe with vs, fo I thinke of as fmall effecl.
