The (far den of plea/ ant Flowers. 
i . PulfttiU t Demet. The Pafle (lower of Denmarke. 
There is another that was brought out of Denmarke, very like vnto the former, but 
that it is larger both in roote and leafe, and flower alfo, which is of a fairer purple co- 
lour, not fo deepe , andbcfides, will better abide to bee mannured then our Hnglifh 
kinde will, as my felfe haue often proued. 
vmftutftn ofboththele forts it is faid, that fotne plants haue bin found, that haue borne white 
flowers. And likewife one that bore double flowers, that is, with t wo ro wes ofleaues, 
3. PulfttiBi flere rubro. The red Pafle flower. 
Lobel, as I take it, did firfl fet forth this kinde, being brought him from Syria the 
leaues whereof are finer cut, the flower fmaller, and with longer leaues, andofared 
colour. 
^ 4. PulfatiB '» fltre lutet. The yellow Pafle flower. 
The yellow Pafle flower hath his leaues cut anddiuided, very likevntotheleaues 
ofthefirft kinde, but (bmewhat more hairie, grccne on the vpperfide, and hairie vn- 
derneath : the ftalkeis round and hoary, the middle whereof is befer with fomc fmall 
leaues, as in the other, from among which rifeth vp the (hike of the flower, confiftinr 
of fix leaues of a very faireyellow colour on the infide , and of a hoary pale yellow on 
rhe outfide ; afrer which followeth fuch an head ofhairie thrummes as in the former • 
the roote is of the bignefle of a mans finger. 
J .Pul/ttiSi flere ulie. The white Pafle flower. 
The whitePaffe flower (which Clufius maketh a kindeofyf»e«r#»e, andyetashec 
faith himfelfe, doth more nearely refemble the PulfttiUt) hath, from amongft a tuft or 
head of haires, which grow at the toppe of a long blacke roote, many leaues (landing 
vpon long ftalkes , which are diuided as it were into three wings or parts and each 
part finely cut anddiuided, like vnta the Pafle flower of Denmarke , butfomewhat 
harder in handling, greenifh on the vpperfide , and foraewhat gray vnderneath and 
very hairie all ouer : among thefe leaues rife vp the ftalkes, befet at the middle of them 
With three leaues, as finely cut and diuided as thofc belowc,from aboue which ftanderh 
the flower, being fmaller, and not fo pendulous as the former , but in the like manner 
confiding of fix leaues, of a fnow white Colour on the infide, and a little browner on 
the outfide, with many yellow thrums in the middle : after the flower is pad, rifeth vp 
fuch a like hoary head, compofed as it Were of many haires, each whereof hath a fmall 
feede faftened vnto it, like as the former Pafle flowers haue. 
The Place. 
Thefirftis found in many places of England, vpon dry bankes that lye 
opentotheSunne. 1 
The fecond was firft brought, as I take it, by Dodor Lobel from Den- 
marke, & is one of the two kinds, that Clufius faith are common in Germa- 
nic, this bearing a paler purple flower, and more early then the other, which 
is the fame with our Englifli, whofe flower is fodarke, that icalmoft fee- 
meth blacke. 
Thercd kinde, as Lobel faith, came from Syria. 
Theyellow Pafle flower, which Clufius maketh his third w MtAntmtnt 
was found very plentifully growing at the foote of St.Bernards Hill neare 
vnto the Cantons of the Switzers. * 
The whi te one groweth on the Alpes neare Aufttia, in France likewife 
*nd otherplaces. *
