places of the Low Countries, Narcijfcn van Heck, or Narcijpss Heckius ■ by 
diuers others Narcijpss Africanus aureus maior, we may call it in Engli(h,The 
great African Daffodill, or the great Barbary Daffodill,orthegreat yellow 
Daffodill of Argiers, which youpleafe. 
Thefecond hath no other variation of name, then a diminutiue of the 
former, as is fet downc in the title. 
The third is no doubt the fame,that Clufius fetteth downe in the twelfth 
Chapter of his fecond Booke of the Hiftory of more rare plants, andma- 
keth the fourth fort, which came from Conftantinople, and may alfo be the 
fame, which he maketh his fifth, which (as he faith) he receiued from Do- 
lour Simor Touar of Seuillin Spaine. Wee call it, from the place from 
whence we receiued it, Narcijfus Byzantinus , with the addition of totus lu- 
teus, to puta difference from other fortsthat come from thence alfo : in En- 
glilh, The yellow Angle Daffodill of Turkie. 
Narcijpss Sulphureus maior . The greater Lemon coloured Daffodill. 
The greater ofthefe Daffodils, beareththreeorfouregreene and very long leaues, 
a foote and a halfe long at the lea ft, among which rifeth vp a round, yet crefted ftalke, 
not fo high as the leaues, bearing fiue or fixe fingle flowers thereon, euery one of them 
being greater then the ordinary French or Italian Daffodils, with many flowers vpon 
a ftalke ; ofafaint, but yet pleafant yellow colour at the firft, which afterthey haue 
been in flower a fortnight or thereabouts, change into a deeper, or more fullen yellow 
colour : the cup in the middle is likewife larger, then in thofe formerly named, and of 
a deeper yellow colour then the outer leaues, hauing onely three chiues within it. The 
fmell is very pleafant. 
Narcijpss Sulphureus minor. The leffer Lemon coloured Daffodill. 
This leffer Daffodill hath broader and fhorter leaues then the former, of the colour 
of other Daffodils, and not greene like the former : the ftalke of this rifeth vp higher 
then the leaues, bearing foureor fiue flowers vpon (horter footeftalkes.and no bigger 
then the French Daffodill, of a pale yellow, which moft doe calla Brimftone colour, 
the cup or rather cro wne in the middle, is fmall, and broad open,of a little deeper yel- 
low, hauing many chiues within it, and is as it were fprinkledouerwithakindeof 
mealineffc. The fmell of this is not full fo pleafant as the former.
