The fecond red Lilly without bulbes grpweth much higher then the firft and a! ; 
moft as high as any other Lilly: the roote hereof is white and fcaly, the Hues ar e 
fomewhat longer, and of a.darke or fad greene colour; the flowers are many and 
large, (landing vpnght as all thefe iorts of red Lillies doe, ofa paler red colour ten- 
ding to an Ofenge on the infide, with many blacke fpots,and lines on them as in the 
former, and more yellow on the outfide ; the feede velfels are like vnto the round ifhi

the firft dwarfe Lilly feeming to be edged, hauifig many leaues thereon of a S fad green 
colour fet about it, clqfethruft together: the greeneheads for flowers, will haue a kind 
of woolhnefleon them, before the flowers begin toopen, and betweene thefe heads
