as the common field kinde : the flowers are alfo fmaller then the common fort, but 

 of a blufh colour. 



3. Digitalis media flore luteo rubente. Orenge tawnie Foxegloue. 



As this Foxegloue is none of the greateft, fo alfo is it none of the fmallert ; but a fort 

 betweene both, hauing leaues in fome proportion correfpondent to the lefler yellow 

 Foxegloue, but not fo large as the leffer white : the flowers are long and narrow, al- 

 moft as large as the laft white, but nothing fo large as the firft white, of a faire yellowifh 

 browne colour, as if the yellow were ouerfhadowed with a reddifh colour, and is that 

 colour wee vfually call an Orenge tawnie colour : the feede is like the former : the 

 rootes perifh euery yeare that they beare feede, which is vfually the fecond yeare of 

 the fpringing. 



4. Digitalis maior alba. The greater white Foxegloue. 



This white Foxegloue is in all things fo like vnto the purple wilde kinde, that it can 

 hardly be diftinguifhed from it, vnlefle it be in the frefher greennefle and largenefle of 

 the leaues : the flowers are as great in a manner as the purple, but wholly white, with- 

 out any fpot in them : the feed and other things agree in all points. 



5. Digitalis alba alter a feu minor. The lefler white Foxegloue. 





We haue in our Gardens another fort of white Foxegloue, whofe leaues are like 

 vnto the laft defcribed, but not altogether fo long or large, and of a darker greene co- 

 lour : the ftalke groweth not fo high, as not full three foote : the flowers are pure 

 white, fafhioned like vnto the former, but not fo great or large, in all other things 

 alike : the rootes hereof did abide fometime in our Gardens, but fince perifhed, and 

 the feede alfo, fince when we neuer could obtaine from any our friends of that kinde 

 againe. 



6. Digitalis maior lutea Jlore amplo. 

 The great yellow Foxegloue. 



The leaues of this greater yellow Foxegloue, are in forme fomewhat like vnto the 

 common purple kinde, but not altogether fo large : the ftalke groweth to bee three or 

 foure foote high, whereon ftand many long hollow pendulous flowers, in fhape like 

 the ordinary purple : but fomewhat fhorter, and more large and open at the brimmes, 

 of a faire yellow colour, wherein are long threads, like as in the others : the roote 

 hereof is greater at the head, and more wooddy then any of the reft, with many 

 fmaller fibres, fpreading themfelues in the ground, and abideth almoft as well as our 

 common purple kinde. 



7. Digitalis minor lutea Jiue pallida. 

 The fmall pale yellow Foxegloue. 



This fmall pale yellow Foxegloue hath fomewhat fhort, broad, fmooth and darke 

 greene leaues, fnipt or dented about the edges very finely : the ftalke is two foot high, 

 befet with fuch like leaues, but lefler : the flowers are more in number then in any of the 

 reft, except the firft and greateft, and growe along the vpper part of the ftalke, being 

 long and hollow, like the other, but very fmall, and of a pale yellow colour almoft 

 white : the feede veflels are fmall like the former, wherein are contained feede like 

 the reft, but fmaller : the rootes are ftringy, but durable, and feldome perifh with 

 any iniury of the extreameft frofts. 



The Place. 



The great white kinde hath been often, and in many places found wilde 

 in our owne Country, among or hard by the common purple kinde. All 

 the reft are ftrangers, but cherifhed in our Gardens.
