larger flower, and of a deeper colour, fpotted with diuers blacke fpots , or ftrakes and 
lines,asistobefeeneintheMountaine Lillies, and in fome other hereafter to be de- 
feribed ; but is not fo in the former of this kinde, which hath no fliew of fpots ac all. 
The whole plant as it is rare, fo it is of much more beauty then the former. 
i . Martagon Pannoni cum, flue Exoticum flortfpaiicct. 
The bright red Martagon of Hungarie. 
Althoughthis Martagon or Lilly bee of another Countrey, yet byreafonof the 
neerenefleboth in leafeand flower vnto the former, may more fitly be placed nextvn- 
to them, then in any other place. It hath his roote very like the other, buttheleaues 
are fomewhat larger, and more fparfedly fet vpon the ftalke, elfe not much vnlike: 
the flowers bend downe, and turne vp their leaues againe , but fomewhat larger , and 
of a bright red , tending to an Orenge colour , that is, fomewhat yellowilh,and not 
crimfon, like the other;, 
3. Martagon Luteum punSlatum. The Yellow fpotted Martagon! 
i. This Yellow Martagon hath a great fcaly or cloued roote, and yellow, like vnto 
all thefe forts of turning Lillies, from whence fpringeth vp a round greene ftrong 
ftalke, three foote high at the leaft, confufedly fet with narrow long greene leaues, 
white on the edges v p to the very toppe thereof almoft , hauing diuers flowers on the 
head, turning vp againe as the former doe, of a faint yelloWi(h,or grccnifh yellow co- 
lour, with many blacke fpots or ftrakes about the middle of the leafe of euery flower, 
and a forked pointed, with fixe chiues about it, tipt with reddilh pendents, ofa heauie 
ftrong fmell, notvery pleafant to many. It beareth feedevery plentifully, in great 
heads, like vnto the other former Lillies, but a little paler.

The otheryeilow Martagon differeth in no other thing from the former, but onely

3. Martagon Luteum ferotinum The late flowring Yellow Martagon. 
There is yet another yellow Martagon, that hath no other difference then the time 
of his flowring, which is not vntill Iuly , vnlefle in this, that the flower is el a deepet 
yellow colour. 
“the Place! 
The knowledge of the firft kindcsof thefe early Martagonshath come 
from Italy, from whence they haue bin fent into the Low- Countries, and to 
vs,and, as it feemeth by the name, whereby they haue bin fent by fome into 
thefe parrs, his originali ftipuld be from the mountaines in Macedonia. 
The fecond fort is fufficiently knowne by his name, being firft brought 
front Conftantinople , his naturali place being not farre from thence, as ic 
is likely. But the next fort of this fecond kinde; doth plainly tell vs his 
place of birth to be the mountaines of PannOnia or Hungarie. 
The third kindes grow on the Pyrenatan mountaines , where they haue 
bceri fearched out, and found by diuers louers of plants, as alfointheKing» 
dome of Naples.
