tinies flat from the middle vp wards, three foote high or more, befet at ccrtaine diftan- 
<res with rondles or circles of many broad leaues, larger and broader for the moil part 
^ian any other of this kinde, and of a darke green colour: It hath two or three, and 
fometimes foureof thefe rondles or circles of leaues , and bare without any leafe bc- 
tweene , but aboue'toward the tops ofthe ftalkes, it hath here and there fome leaues 
vpon it, but fmaller than any of the other leaues : at the toppe ofthe ftalke come forth 
litany flowers, fometimethree orfourefcore,thickethruft, or confufedly fet together, 
and not thinne or fparfedly one abode another , as in the Idler of this kinde of Moun- 
tains Lilly. It hath been fometimes alfo obferued in this kinde, that it hath borne ma- 
nic flowers at three feuerall fpaces of the ftalke, one aboue another , which hath made 
a goodly fliew , each flower whereof is pendulous, hanging downe, and each leafe of 
tile flower turning vp againe , being thicke or flelhy , of a fine delayed purple colour, 
fpotted with many blackilfi or brownilh fpots, ofa very pleafantfweet lent, which ma- 
keth it the more acceptable : in the middle of the flower hangeth downe a ftile or 
pointed, knobbed or buttoned at the end with fixe yellow chiues,tipt with loofe pen- 
dents of an Orient red or Vermillion colour, which will eafily fiicke likeduftvpon 
any thing that toucheth them .-the heads or feede velTels are fmall and round, with 
fmall edges about them, wherein is contained flat browne feede like other Lillies, but 
lelTcr.The root is very apt to encreafe or fet of, as we call it,wherby the plant feldome 
commeth to fo great ahead of flowers, but rifeth vp with many ftalkes, and then carry 
fewerflowers.

Martagon Jltre albo. The White Martagon. 
We haite alfo fome other of this kind, the firft wherof hath his ftalke & leafe greener 
than the former, the ftalke is a little higher,bnt not bearing fo thicke a head of flowers, 
although much more plenrifullthan the Idler Mountainc Lilly,being altogether of a 
fine white colour, without any fpots, or but very few,and that but fometimes alfo : the 
pendents in the middle of this flower are not red, as the former, but yellow , the roote 
of this, and of the other two that follow , are of a pale ycllotf’ colour , the cloues or 
fcalcs of them being brittle, and not clofely com pad, yet fo as if two , and fometimes 
three fcalcs or cloues grew one vpon the head or vpperpart of another, which diffe- 
rence is a fpeciall note to know thefe three kindes, from any Other kinde of Mountaine 
Lilly, as in all old rootes that I haue feene, I haue obferued, as alfo in them that are rea- 
fonably well grownc, but in the young rootes it is not yet fo manifeft. 
Martagon flere alio maculato. The White fpotted Martagon. is 
The fccond is like vnto the firft in all things, faue in this, that the flowers hereof are 
not altogether fo whitc,and befides hath many reddilh fpots on the infide of the leaues 
of the flower, and the ftalke alfo is not fo greene but brownilh. 
Martagon jiore earner}. The blulh Martagon. 
A third fort thereis of this kinde , whofe flowers are wholly of a delayed flelh co- 
lour, with many fpots on the flowers, and this isthe difference hereof from the former. 
Lilfom Montanum fiuc filuejlre minus. The leffer Mountaine Lilly. 
The lefler Mountaine Lilly is fo like in root vnto the greater that is firft deferibed, 
that it is hard to diftinguilh them afunder,but when this is fprungvp ont of theground, 
whichisamoneth after the firft : it alfo carrieth his leaues in rondles about the ftalke, 
although not altogether fo great nor fo many. The flowers are more thinly fet on the 
ftalkes one aboue another, with more diftance betweene each flower than the former, 
and arc of a little deeper flefh colour or purple, fpotted in the fame manner. The buds
