and very confpicuous, which make it iecinetheanore beautifull : the flowers appeare 
in Autumne, and arc (horter , and of a deeper purplifh red colour then the Iuie Sowe- 
bread, riling vp before the leaucs for the mod part, or at lead with them, and little or 
nothing fweete : the roote is round and blacke , vfually not fo flat as it, but growing 
fometimes to bee greater then any other kinde of Sowebread. There is fometimes 
fomc variety to be feene , both in the leaues and flowers of this kinde ; for that fome- 
time the leaues haue more corners , and either more or Idle fpottedwith white: the 
ViMm. flowers like wife of fome are larger or lefler, longer or rounder, paler or deeper colou- 
red one then another. This happeneth mod likely from the fowingofthefeede,cau- 
iing the like variety as is feene in the luie leafed Sowebread. It doth alfo many times 
happen from the diuerfity of foyles and countries where they grow : the feed of this, 
as of all the red, is fmall and round, contained in fuch like heads as the former, dan- 
ding almodlike the head of a Snakethat is twined or folded within thebody thereof. 
Thisand the other Autumnali kmdes, prefently after their flowing in Autumne, fttoote 
forth leaues, andfo abide all the Winter, according to their kinde. 
6. Cyclamen fdio hedera autumnale. Iuie leafed Sowebread. 
The Iuie leafed Sowebread groweth in thefame manner that the former doth, that 
Is, bringeth forth flowers with the leaues lometimes, or mod commonly beforethem, 
whofe flowers are greater then the common round leafed Sowebread, fomewhac 
longer then the former Romane or Italian Sowebreads , and of a paler purple colour, 
almofl blufh, without that fweete fent as is in the fil'd kinde of the Spring : the greene 
leaues hereof arc more long then round, pointed at the ends, and hauing alfo one or 
two corners on each fide, fometimes much fpotted on the vpperfide with white fpots 
and marks, and fometimes bur a little or not at all ; and fo like wife fometimes more or 
Idle purple vnderncath: all the leaues and flowers doe dand vfually euery one feue- 
rally by themfclues , vpon their ownc (lender foote-dalkes, as mod of all the other 
VmiM. kindes doerbut fometimes it, happeneth, that both leaues and flowers are found grow- 
ing from one and the fame ftalke, which I rather take to be accidentali, then naturali fo 
to continue : the feede hereof is like the former kindes, which being fowne producerh 
variety, both in the forme of the leaues, and colour and fmell of the flowers: feme be- 
ing paler or deeper, and fome more or lefle fweete then others : the leaues alfo, fome 
more or lefle cornered then others: the root groweth to be great,being round and flat, 
and of ablackifh browne colour on the outfide. 
•y .Cyclamen autumnale hcicrafolio flore alb o. 
Iuie leafed Sowebread with white flowers. 
There is one of this kinde, whofe leaues are rounder , and not fo much cornered as 
the former, flowring in Autumne as the lad doth, and whofe flowers arc wholly 
white, not hauing any other notable^Iifference therein. 
8. Cyclamen tutumnde anguJUfolium. Long leafed Sowebread. 
This kinde of Sowebread may cafily be knoWnc from all the other kindes, becaufe 
his leafe is longer and narrower then others, fafhioned at the bottome thereof with, 
points, fomewhatlike vnto ^Arum or Wake Robin leaues: the flowers are like the 
former forts, for forme, but of a purple colour. There is alfo another of this kinde in 
*11 things like the former, but that the flowers are white. 
p . Cyclamen Antiochenum Autumnale flore purpureo duplici . 
Double flowred Sowebread of Antioch. 
This Sowebread of Antioch with double flowers,hath his leaues fomewhat round, 
like vnto the leaues ofthe Summer Sowbread ,but with lefle notches or comers, & full 
of white fpots on them: it beateth flowers on flalks, like vnto others, & likewife fome 
ftalks that haue t wo or three flowers on them,which are very large,with ten or twelue 
leaues
