row, and then in the trunke of the flower, which is not crumpled or turned vp, as irioft 
of the other are j and that the brimraes or edgier of the flower is as if it had beene dipt

Theft- two leffetkindes of Spanifli Daffodils, doe but differ ingreatneffe the one 
from the other, and not in anything elfejfo that in declaring the one, you may vn- 
derftand the other to bee a little greater. The leffer then hath three or fourenartow 
fliort whitiili greenc leaues , from among Which commeth forth a fhort ftalke, not a- 
boue an hand breadth, or halfe a foote high, bearing one fingle flower , not fully (lan- 
ding outright, but a little bending downe, confining of fix fmall leaues, (landing as 
wings about a fmall >, but long trunke , a little crumpled at the brimmes : the whole 
flower, as well leaues as trunke , are of onedeepc yellow colour, like vnto the great 
Spanifli kinde: the roote is but fmall, and couered with a darkilli coate. The other is 
in all parts greater, and (as I faid ) differed! not elfe.

The leffer French double baftard Daffbdill. 
The rootes of this leffer French kinde (if I may lawfully call it, Ot the greater kinde 
beforefpecified,a baftard Daffbdill 5 for I fomewhat doubt thereof, in that the flower 
of either is not made after the falhionofany oftheotherbaftard Daffodils, but doth 
more nearcly referable the forme of the double white Daffbdill, expreffed before a- 
mong’ the true Daffodils) are like vnto the double Englilh kinde , as alfo to the former 
double greater French kinde, and the leaues are of the fame whitiili greenc colour alfo, 
but narrower and not longer : the ftalke rifeth a little higher then the Englilh, and not 
fully fo high as the greater French , bearing one faire double flower thereon , of a 
paleyelloworLemoncolour,confiftingoffixrowesofleaues, euery rowe growing

flower doth ftand direiftly almoft in all, one vpon or before another vnto the middle, 
wherethe leaues are fmalleft, the outermoft being the greateft, which maketh the 
flower feeme the more beautif ull : this and the greater kinde hath no trunke, or (hew 
of any other thing in the middle, as all or moft of the other former double baftard
