356 The Garden of p leaf ant Flowers. 



5. Troche Hum maius flore duplici albo & ceeruleo. 

 Canterbury Bels with double flowers both white and blew. 



Of this kinde of Throateworte or Canterbury Bels, there is another fort, not dif- 

 fering in any thing from the former, but in the doubleneffe of the flower : For there 

 is of both the kindes, one that beareth double white flowers, and the other blew : Of 

 each whereof I receiued plants from friends beyond the Sea, which grow well with 

 me. 



6. Tr ache Hum Giganteum flore purpurante. 



Pale purple Giants Throateworte. 



This Bell-flower, although it hath a Gigantine name, yet did I neuer perceiue it in 

 my Garden, to rife vp higher then the former, the epithite beeing in my perfwafion, 

 only giuen for difference fake: the leaues whereof are not fo rough, but as large, and 

 dented about the edges, fomewhat larger pointed, and of a fremer greene colour : the 

 ftalkes beare fuch like leaues on them, but more thinly or difperfedly fet, hauing a 

 flower at the fetting on of euery one of the leaues, from the middle vpwards, and are 

 fomewhat like the great Throateworte in forme, but of a pale or bleake reddifh pur- 

 ple colour, turning the brims or corners a little backwards, with a forked clapper in 

 the middle, fufficient eminent and yellow: the feede hereof is white, and plentifull 

 in the heads, which will abide all the winter vpon the ftalkes, vntill all the feede being 

 med, the heads remaining feeme like torne rags, or like thin peeces of skin, eaten with 

 wormes : the roote is great, thicke and white, abiding long without perifhing. 

 Flore albo. There is another which differeth not any thing but in the flower, which is white. 



7. 'Tr ache Hum minus fore albo & purpureo. 



Small Throateworte or Canterbury Bells both white and purple. 



The letter Throateworte hath fmaller leaues, nothing fo broade or hard as the for- 

 mer great kinde, but long, and little or nothing dented about the edges : the ftalkes are 

 fquare and brownifh, if it beare purple flowers, and greene if it beare white flowers, 

 which in forme are alike, and grow in a bum or tuft, thicke fet together, more then any 

 of the former, and fmaller alfo, being not much bigger then the flowers of the fielde, 

 or garden Rampions : the roote is lafting, and fhooteth afrefh euery yeare. 



8. Tr ache Hum Americanum flore ruberrimo, fiue Planta Cardinalis. 

 The rich crimfon Cardinals flower. 



This braue plant, from a white roote fpreading diuers wayes vnder ground, fendeth 

 forth many greene leaues, fpread round about the head thereof, each whereof is fome- 

 what broade and long, and pointed at the end, finely alfo fnipt about the edges : from 

 the middle whereof arifeth vp a round hollow ftalke, two foote high at the leaft, befet 

 with diuers fuch leaues as grow below, but longer below then aboue, and branching 

 out at the toppe aboundantly, euery branch bearing diuers greene leaues on them, and 

 one at the foote of euery of them alfo, the toppes whereof doe end in a great large 

 tuft of flowers, with a frnall greene leafe at the foote of the ftalke of euery flower, 

 each footeftalke being about an inch long, bearing a round greene huske, diuided into 

 fiue long leaues or points turned downwards, and in the midft of euery of them a moft 

 rich crimfon coloured flower, ending in fiue long narrow leaues, ftanding all of them 

 foreright, but three of them falling downe, with a long vmbone fet as it were at the 

 backe of them, bigger below, and fmaller aboue, and at the toppe a fmall head, being 

 of a little paler colour then the flower, but of no fent or fmell at all, commendable on- 

 ly for the great bum of fo orient red crimfon flowers : after the flowers are paft, the 

 feede commeth in fmall heads, clofed within thofe greene husks that held the flowers, 

 which is very like vnto the feede veffels of the Viola Mariana, or Couentry Bels, and 

 is fmall and brownim.
