i s . AuricuU yrft minor flore policy te. The Idler ftraw coloured Beares earc. 
We haue another, whofe leafe is Idle mealy,or rather pale green, and a little mealy 
withall ; the flowers whereof are of a paler yellow colour then the laft,audbeareth *1- 
moft as many vpon a ftalke as the firft great yellow. 
x 6. AuricuU P'rfl miner luteo. The leffer yellow Beares eares. 
The leaues of this Beares eare are nothing fo large as either of the three former yel- 
low kindes, but rather of the bignefle of the firft white kinde, but yet a little larger, 
thicker, and longer then it,hauing vnder the greennefle a fmall lhew of mealincfle,and 
fomewhatfnipt about the edges: the flowers are of a pale yellow colour, with a little 
white bottome in them : the feed and rootes are like vnto the other kindes. 
17. Auricula V rfi flere fUuo. The deepe yellow or Cowflip Beares eare. 
This kinde hath fomewhat larger leaues then the laft, of a yellowifli greene colour 
without any mealinefle on them, or endenting about the edges,but finooth and whole: 
the flowers are not larger but longer, and not laide open fo fully as the former but of 
as deepe a yellow colour as any Cowflip almoft, without any circle in the bottome: 
neither of thefe two laft haue any fhew of other colour then yellowin thcm, fauing 
.the white in the eye. 
18. Auricula V rfi verflcolor frimt flue flore rubefeente. The blufb Beares eare. 
The blulh Beares eare hath his leaues as large, and as hoary or mealy as the third 
greater yellow, or ftraw coloured Beares care ; among which rifeth vp a ftalke about 
foure inches high, bearing from fix to twelue, or more faire flowers, fomewhat larger 
then the fmaller yellow Beares eare before defcribed,hauing the ground of the flower 
of a darke or dunne yellow colour, fhadowed ouer a little with a fhew of light purple, 
which therefore we call a blufli colour , the edges of the flower being tipt with a little 
deeper fhew of that purple colour, the bottome of the flower abiding wholly yellow, 
without any circle, and is of very great beauty, which hath caufed me to place it in the 
forefront of the variable coloured Beares eares. And although fome might thinke it 
fhould be placed among the firft rankc of Beares eares, becaufe it is of a blufli colour 
yet feeing it is afTuredly gained from fome of die yellow kindes by flowing the feeder 
as many other forts are, as may be feene plainly in the ground of the flower , which is 
yellow, and but fliadowed ouer with purple, yet more then any of the reft that follow- 
1 thinke I hauegiuen it his right place:lec others of skill & experience be iudges herein. 
1 9. AuricuU rrflerinis eoloru.Hzhe coloured Beares eares. 
The leaues of this kinde are more mealy like then the laft blufli kinde, but fomewhat 
longer and larger, and fnipt about the edges in the fame manner , from the middle of 
the leafe forwards : the flower is vfually of a fine light browne yellow colour , which 
wee doe vfually call an Haire colour, and fometimes browner, the edges of the flower 
haue a fhew or fliadow of a light purple or blufli about them , but more on the outfide 
then on the infide. 
10. Auric ulxKrfl verflcolor lutea. The yellow variable Beares eare. 
This variable Beares eare hath his greene leaues fomewhat like vnto the deepe yej. 
low, or Cowflip Beares eare before deferibed, but fomewhat of a frefher greene,morc 
fliining and fmaller, and fnipt about the edgestowards the ends, as many of thofe be- 
fore are: the flowers are of a faire yellow colour, much laid open when it is full 
blowne, that it feemeth almoft flat, dafht about the edges onely with purple, being 
more yellow in the bottome of the flower, then in any other parr.
