6. Globularia lutca w.ntana. Yellow Dailies. 



This mountaine yellow Daifie or Globe-flower hath many thickc, fmooth, round 

 pointed leaues, fpread vpon the ground like the former; among which fpring diuers 

 fmall round rufhie rtalkes, a foote high, bearing about the middle of them two ! mall 

 leaues at the ioynts, and at the toppes round heads of flowers thrull thicke together, 

 (landing in purplifh huskes, euery of which flowers do blow or fpread into fiue leaues, 

 Itarre-falhion, and of a fa ire yellow colour, fmelling like vnto broome flowers, with 

 many fmall threads in the middle compafling a flat pointell, horned or bended two 

 wayes : after the flowers are pall rife vp the feede veflels, which are round, fwelling 

 out in the middle, and diuided into foure parts at the toppes, containing within them 

 round, flat, blacke fcede, with a fmall cut or notch in them : the roote is a finger long, 

 round and hard, with a thicke barke, and a woddy pith in the middle, of a fharpe dry- 

 ing tafte and llrong fent: the leaues are alfo lharpe, but bitter. 



The Place. 



The fmall Dailies are all planted, and found onely in Gardens, and will 

 require to be replanted often, left they degenerate into fingle flowers, or at 

 leall into lefle double. The blew Daifie is naturall of Mompelier in 

 France, and on the mountaines in many places of Italy, as alfo the yellow 

 kinde in the Kingdome of Naples. 



The Time. 



The Daifies flower betimes in the Spring, and laft vntill May, but the 

 lall two flower not vntill Auguft or September. 



The Names. 



They are vfually called in Latine Bellides, and in Englifh Daifies. Some 

 call them Herba Margarita, and Primula veris, as it is likely after the Italian 

 names, of Marguerite, and Flor di prima vera gentile. The French call them 

 Pafquettes, and Marguerites, and the Fruitfull fort, or thofe that beare fmall 

 flowers about the middle one, Margueritons : our Englifh women call 

 them lacke an Apes on horfe-backe, as they doe Marigolds before recited, 

 or childing Daifies : but the Phyfitians and Apothecaries doe in generall 

 call them, efpecially the fingle or Field kindes, Confolida minor. The blew 

 Daifie is called Be/fis ceerulea, and Globularia, of fome Scabiofce pumilum genus. 

 The Italians call it Botanaria, becaufe the heads are found like buttons. 

 The yellow, Globularia montana, is onely defcribed by Fabius Columna, in 

 his laft part of Phytobafanos, and by him referred vnto the former Globularia, 

 although it differ in fome notable points from it. 



The Vertues. 



The properties of Daifies are certainly to binde, and the roote efpeci- 

 ally being dryed, they are vfed in medicines to that purpofe. They are 

 alfo of fpeciall account among thofe herbes, that are vfed for wounds in 

 the head.
