Lilium Album. The White Lilly. 
O W remarneth onely the White Lilly, of all the whole family or ftocke of the 
Lillies, tobee fpokenoif, which is of two forts. The one is our common or 
vulgar White Lilly ; and the other, that which was brought from Conftanti- 
Lilium Album vulgare. The ordinary White Lilly. 
The ordinary White Lilly fcarce needeth any defeription, it is fo well known?, 
and fo frequent in eucry Garden ; but to fay fome what thereof, as I vfe to doe of euery 
thing,beitneuerfo common and knowne ; ir hath aclcSued or fcalyroote, yellower 
and bigger then any ofthe red Lillies/ the ftalke is of a blackilh greenecolour, and 
rifeth as high as moft of the Lillies , hauitig many faire,, broad, and long greene leaues 
thereon, larger and longer beneath, and fmaller vpon the ftalke vpwards ; the flowers 
are many or few, according to the age of the plant , fertility of the foile , and time of 
Handing where it groweth: and ftand vpon long greene footftalkes, of a faire white 
colour, with a long pnintell inthemiddle, and white chiuestipt with yellow pendents 
about it ; the fmcll is fome what heady and ftrong. 
Lilium Album Byzantinum. The White Lilly of Conftantinople. 
The other White Lilly, differeth but little from the former White Lilly , either ini 
roore, leafe, or flower, but only that this vfually groweth with more number of flow- 
ers,thcn euer wefawinour ordinary White Lilly :for I haue feenethe ftalke of this 
Lilly turn e flat, of the breadth of an hand, bearing neere two hundred flowers vpon a 
head, yet moft commonly it beareth not aboue a dozen, or twenty flowers , but final- 
Icr then the ordinary, as the greene leaues are likewife. 
The Place, 
The firft groweth onely in Gardens , and hath notbeene declared where 
it is found elide, by any that I can heare of.The other hathbeenefent from 
Conftuntinople, among other rootes , and therefore is likely to grow in 
fome parts neere thereunto.
