pie ringed Daffodill 5 for it is probable it is ofthe famekindc, but by naturesgift (and 
not by any humane art) made more plentiful], which abideth conflant and hath not 
that dalliance, which oftentimes nature fheweth, to recreate the fenfes of men for the 
prefent,and appeareth not againe in thefame forme : thechiefeft difference is that the 
Sower (being but fometimes one on a ftalke, and fometimes two) confiftethof fix 
white outer lea ues, as large as the leaues of the Angle kindc,hauing many fmall yellow 
peeces, edged with purple circles round about them, inftcad of a cup . and in the mid- 
dle of thefc peeces, {land other fix white leaues, leffer then the former , and a yellow 
cup edged with a purple circle likewife, parted into peeces, and they comprehend a 
few other white leaues, fmaller then any of the other , hauing among them fome bro- 
ken peeces ofthe cup, with a few cbiues alfo in the middle of the flower. The flower 
is very fweete. 
There is of this kinde another , whofe flower hath not fo plaine a diftindlion of a 
triple rowe of leaues in it : but the whole flower is confufedly fet together rhe’outer 
leaues being not fo large, and the inner leaues larger then the former ; the broken yel- 
low cuppe, which is tipt with purple, running diuerfly among the leaues -fo that it 
fire weth a fairer, and more double flower then the former, as it is indeed. J 
3 . Ntrcijftu medioluteus corona duplici. 1 , 
The Turkie Daffodill with a double crowne. 
This Daffodill hath three or foure leaues, as large and longalmoft, as the great 
double Daffodill ofConftantinople next following hath : the ftalke likewife is very 
neerc as great, but as high altogether , bearing at the toppe foure or fiuc flowers the 
leaues whereof are as large, as ofthe firft or fecond kinde of French Daffodils before 
deferibed, but not altogether of fo pure a white colour; and being fix in number flan ; 
like the former fingle French Daffodils,but that the yellow cup in the middle of this is 
thicke and double, or as it were crumpled together, not (landing very high to be con- 
fpicuous , but abiding lowe aud fhort , fo that it is not prefently marked , vnlefieone 
looke vpon it precifely • yet is exceeding fweete. The roote is like vnto the roote of 
the purple ringed Daffodill, or fomevvhat bigger. 
4 . Ntrcijfut Chalcedonicta flore plemalho polyanthus. 
The double white Daffodill of Conftantinople. 
This beautifull and goodly Daffodill (wherewith all Florifts greatly defife to bee 
acquainted , as well for the beauty ofhis double flowers , as alfo for his fuperaboun- 
ding fweete fmell, one ftalke with flowers being inftead of a nofegay) hath many very 
broad, and very Jong leaues , fomewhat greener then gray , among which rifeth vp a 
ftrong round ftalke, being fometimes afinoft flat, and ribbed, bearing foure or fiue or 
morewhiteflowersatthctoppe,euery one beingvery great, large, anddouble, the 
leaues being confufedly fet together, hauing little peeces of a yellow cuprunninga- 
mongthem, without any drew of that purple ring that is in the former, andfalla- 
way without bearing feed, euen as all, or moft other double flowers doe: the fmell 
isfo exceeding fweet and ftrong, that it willfoone offend the fenfes of any, that 
mail lmcll much vnto it : the roote is great and thicke, couered with a blackifh 
coate. 
1 . Nareifius Chalcedonicus fimbriatus multiplex pclyanthos. 
The great double purple ringed Daffodill of Conftantinopie. 
This Daffodill differethvery little or nothing in l'eafe from the former theonelv 
difference is in the flowers, which although they bee double , and beare many vpon a 
ftalke like vnto them, yet this hath the peeces ef the yellow cuppes tipt with purple 
as if they were Aired or flattered among the whiteleaues, whereas the other hath only
