filuer colour, with ftripes or lines on eucry fide, and fafhioned fmall and hollow like 
a cuppc or boxe : the feede I could ncuer obferue,becaufe it flowreth fo late , that the 
Winter hindereth it from bearing feede with vs : the rooteis fmalland round white 
and in a manner tranfparent, at lead fo Ihining, as if it were fo, and encreafeth nothing 
fomuch, as many of theotherforrs -.this hath no ill fentatall, but rather a pretty 
fmell,nottobeemiflikcd. 1 
n. Moly ftrotinum Conifer um . The late Pineapple Moly. 
This late Moly that was fentme with the lad defcribcd,and others alfo from Spain 
rifeth vp with one long greene leafe, hollow and round vnto the end,towards this end 
on the one fidc,breakcth outahead offlowers,endofed inarhinneskinne,whichaftef 
it hath fo flood a good wh le, (the leafe in the meane time riling higher, and growing 
harder, becommcth the ft.ilke) breaket)i,and Iheweth a great bufli or head of buds for 
flowers, thickethrufttogethcr,fafliioned very likevmo the forme ofa Pineapple (from 
whence I gaucit the name)of the bignefs ofa Walnut.-after this head hath flood in this 
manner a moneth or thereabouts, the flowers fhew themfelues to bee ofa fine delayed 
orwhitifli purplecolour, with diuers flripes in euery of them, of the fame cup-fafhioa 
with the former, but not o pening fo pla inly , fo that they cannot bee difeerned to bee 
open, without good heede and obferuation. It flowreth folate in Autumne thatthe 
early frofls doe quickly fpoile the beauty of it, and foone caufe it to rotte : the roote is 
fmall and round , and (Inning like the lafl, very tenderalfo, as not able to abide our 
fharpe Winters, which hath caufed it vtterly to perifh with me. 
u. Moly Dio/coridetim. Diofcorides his Moly. 
The roote ofthis fmall Moly is tranfparent within, but couercd with a thicke yef- 
lowifh skinne, of the bignefle of an Hafell Nut, or fomewhar bigger, which fendeth 
forth three or foure narrow graffie leaues, long and hollow, and a little bending down- 
wards, ofa whitifh greene colour, among which rifeth vp a (lender weake fla!ke,a foot 
and a halfe high , bearing at the toppe , out of a thiane skinne , a tuft of milke white 
flowers, very like vnto thofc of Ramfons, which Hand a pretty while in their beauty, 
and then pafTe away for the mod part without giuing any feede : this hath little or no 
fent of Garlicke. 
We haue another of this fort that is lefTer, and the flowers rounder pointed. 
13. Moly DiofcoriAcMm Hi/panicum. The Spanifh Moly of Diofcorides. 
This Moly came vnto me among other Molyes from Spaine , and is in all things 
like vnto the lad deferibed, but fairer, larger, and of much more beauty, as hauing his 
white flowers twice as gteat as the former 5 but (as it feemeth) very impatient of our 
Winters, which it could notat any hand endure, but quickly periflied,as fome others 
that came with it alfo.

14 . Moly Mofriutinum vel Zihettimim Monfpelienfe. 
The fweete duelling Moly of Mompelier. 
This fweete Moly, which I haue kept for the lad, to clofe vp your fenfes, is 
the fmalled , and the fined of all the red, hauing foure or fiue fmall greene leaues, 
almod as fine as haires, or like the leaues of the Feathcr-grafle t the dalke is a- 
bout a footc high , bearing fiue or fix or more fmall white flowers , laid open 
like Starres, made of fix leaues a pcece, of an excellent fweete fent, refem- 
bling Muske or Ciuet • for diuers haue diuerfly cenfurcd of it. It flowreth late 
in the yeare, fo that if the precedent Summer bee either ouer mold, or the Au- 
tumne ouer early cold, this will not haue that fweete fent, that it will haue in a 
hot drie time , and befides mud be carefully refpe&ed : for it will hardly abide the 
extremity of our (harpe Winters.
