Idler Autumne Daffodil I. 
Thus farre hauel proceeded withthofe Daffodils, that hauing broadleaues beare 
but one fingle flower, or two at the moft vpon a ftalke : And now to proceed with the 
reft, that haue broad leaues, and beare fingle flowers, but many vpon a ftalke. 
Narcijfm Africanus aurem maior. Thegreat yellow Daffodill of Africa. 
This braue and (lately Daffodill hath many very long and broad leaues of a better 
grcene colour, then many others that are gray i(h, among which appeareth a ftalke 
not riling to the height of the leaues , bearing at the toppe out of a skinnie hofe many 
faire,goodly,and large flowers, to the number of ten or twelue , if the rootc bee well 
growne,and ftand in a warme place , euery one being larger then any of the French 
Spani(h,orTurkie Daffodils, that beare many fingle flowers vpon a ftalke, and com- 
meth neere vnto the bignede of the Englilh Daffodill, called Primrofe Pee’rleffe be- 
fore deferibed , or that French kinde hereafter deferibed, that beareth the larreft 
flowers , many vpon a ftalke (which fome would make to bee a kinde of that Englifh 
Daffodill, but bearing more flowers) and of a faire (hining yellow colour, hauing 
large, round, and open cups or boules, yellower then the outer leaues • and is of fo ex- 
ceeding fweetea feut, that it doth rather offend the fenfes by the aboundance thereof- 
the roote is great, and coucred with a blackilh brownc coatc or skinne. 
Narcijfm Africanus aureus minor. Thelefler Barbary Daffodill. 
This IefTer kinde is very neere the fame with the former , but that it lacketh fome- 
whflt of his ftatelinefle of height , largenefleof flower and cup (being of a paler yel- 
low) and beauty of coIour, for it beareth neither of thefc equall vnto the former but 
ism them all inferiour. .And thus by thispriuatiue, you may vnderftand his pofitiue 
and that flail be fufficient at this time.

Whereas the laft deferibed, came (hort of the beauty of the former , fo this lacketh 
of that beauty is in the laft ; for this, although it haue very long leaues, and a high 
ftalke, yet the flowers are neither (o many, as not being abouefoure or flue norfo 
large, being not much greater then the ordinary French Daffodill hereafter deferi- 
bed, nor the colour fo faire, buc much paler, and the cu p alfo fmaller • and herein con- 
fifteth the chiefeft differences betweene this , and both the other , but that the fent of 
this is alfo weaker. ’! 
The Place.

The fir ft and the fecond grow in Barbary, about Argier, and Fez, as by 
therelation of them, that haue brought them into thefe parts, wee haue 
been enformed. 
The laft hath been often brought from Conftantinople amongotherva- 
rieties of Daffodils , but from whence they receiucd them , I could neuer 
leatne. si !• 
The Time. , rj ,. i: ip, ,, 
Thefe Daffodils do flower very early, euenwith the firft fort of Daffo- 
dils, Imeane after they haue been accuftomed vnto oar climate : for often- 
times vpon their firft bringing puer , they flower in Ianuary or February, 
efpecially if they be preferued from thefrofts,and kept in any warmeplacej 
for they are very tender, and will loone perilh, being left abroad.
