All thefe Rufh Daffodils, doefor the moll part grow in Spaineand 
France, and on the Pyrenxan Mountaines, which arc betweene Spaine and 
France, which Mountains are the Nourferies of many of thefineft flowers 
that doe adorne the Gardens of thefe louers ofnatures pride, andgathered 
in part by induftrious, learned, generous men, inhabiting neare thereunto 
and in part by fuch as make a gaine of their labours , beftowed vpon thefe 
things. Onely that with the grecne flower was gatheredin Barbary and 
imparted vnto vs from France. 5 
They flower in the Spring, that is, in March and Aprill, except fuch 
whofe time is fet do wnc to be in Autumne. 
Their names are fpecified in their titles, and therefore I fhall not need to 
fet downe any further repetitions. 
Tocondudetherefore this difeourfeof true Daffodils, there remaineth to fpeake 
ofthe Sea Daffodils, which (as I faid in the beginning) is but one, that is frequent, and 
doth abide with vs. But there bee fome others found about the Cape of good Hope, 
and in the-Wefl Indies, and brought into thefe parts rather for oftentation , then con- 
tinuance, where they hatte flowred onely once (if peraduenture fo often) fo that being 
fuch ftrangers, of fo remote Countries,and of fo diuers natures , I fhall but fhew you 
fome of them, rather curforily then curioufly; and but onely for your fatisfa<»ion,giue 
youknowledgeoftwoorthreeofthem, that there haue beenefeenefuch in flower^ 
and that they are fcarce to bee feeneagaine, except they bee fetchta new euery yeare 
that they be feene.

ing remoued,growethto be much greater and larger, then any other Daffodill what-
