Chap. XNXUIL =» FLOR 4. 
_ There is another of this kind that is a little bigger in all the parts 
thereof, and beareth white flowers. 
~ And athird that is like the laft, but that the white flowers are 
poudered over with the fame red colour thatis in the firft, 
Thefe pretty plants bring forth their flowers in April, and are pre- 
ferved in {ome Floriffs Gardens, they profper beft in a fhady barren 
place, for they grow naturally in moift barren ground in the Nor- 
thern parts, I received the feveral varieties before mentioned from 
that worthy honeft Gentleman my very good friend Mr, Roger 
Brodfhaw of the Hay in Lawcafhire betore remembered, 
Lychnis. 
Hampions ave of feveral forts, and many Plants are 
called Lychnis, with fome: other word of diftinction 
added thereunto, we will make choice of fome few, 
and fuch only as are fitteft to adorn a Flower-Gar- 
den, and leave the reft as vulgars mot worth 
the mentioning: iJ 
Lychnis Coronaria rubra multiplex. 
a cr paerie a Cte Te Oe Ee 
pine double red Rofe Championis inall the parts thereof like unto 
the fingle, fo well known tharic were fuperfluous further to de- 
fcribe it; only the flowers of this are thick and double, of the’ fame 
delicate velvet red colour, which 1s in the common fingle kind, = 
Lychnis Coronaria alba mulesplex. 
TH double white Rofe Champion is.in all things like the former, but 
only ‘that the flowers of this are white, but as thick aad double 
and far more rare than the red. 
Lychnis Chalcidonica flore fimplict. 
Ss Non-[uch, Flower of Con ftantinople, or asitis moft common- 
ly called, Flower of Bré fol, is a Plant as weil Known as the former 
common Champion, and therefore needeth no further defcription, nei- 
ther indeed had I admitted a thing fo common, but that there are 
fome fine diverfities thereof, worthy of room in the beft Gatdens, 
and the varieties ftanding rogether, fetting off each other, make 2 
fine fhow, I theretore ‘begin with the common kind —
