fome ftalkes among thofe greene leaues atthetoppe (which are a little larger then 
when it hath but broken peeces of flowers) doe carry whole flowers in huskes like the 
Gnglc kinde. 
17. Ftrtlyfls minor flore rubre. Red Birds eyes. 
This little Cowflippe(which will hardly endure in our gardens, for allthccare and 
induftrie wc can vfe to keep." it) hath all the Winter long, and vntill the Spring begin 
to come on, hisleaues fo cioied together, that it feemeth a fmall whitehead of leaues, 
which afterwards opening itfejfe, fpreadeth round vpon the ground, and hathfmali 
longandnarrow leaues, fnipt about the edges, of a pale greene colour on the vppen- 
fide,& very white or mealy vnderneath, among thefe leaues rife vp one or two ftalkfc, 
fmall & hoary ,halfe a foot high,bearing at the top abulh or tuft of much fmaller flo w- 
ers,ftanding vpon limit foot ftalkes. fomewhat like vnto Cowflips,but more like vnto 
the BeareS eares,of a fine reddifh purple colour, in fome deeper, in others paler, with a 
yellowifti circle in the bottomes of the flowers, like vnto many of the Beares eares, of

18. Partly lit miner flere tilt. White Birds eyes. ill 
This kinde differeth very little or nothing from the former , fauing that it feemeth 
a little larger both in leaf e and flower , and that the flowers hereof are wholly white. 
Without any great appearance of any circle in the bottome of them , vnlefle it be well 
obferued, or at leaft being nothing fo confpicuous, as in the former. 
Tlnutmmte. Thel ~ e two kindcs haue fometimes , but very feldome , from among the middle of 
the flowers on the ftalke,fent outanother fmall ftalke, bearing flowers theron likewife. 
19. Ptrtlyfis hortenfls flore pleno. Double Paigles or Co wflips. 
The double Paigle or Cowflip hath fmaller and darker greene leaues then the fin- 
gle kinde hath, and longer ftalkes alfo whereon the leaues doe ftand : it beareth diuers 
flowers vpon a ftalke, but not fo many as the Angle kinde, euery one whereofisofa 
deeper and fairer yellow colour then any of the former, (landing not much aboue the 
brimmes of the huskes that hold thera 3 .confiding of two or three rowes of leaues fet 
round together, which maketh it (hew very thicke and double, of a prettie fmall fent, 
but not heady. 
20. Ptrtlyfis flere viridtnfe fleno. Double greene Cowllips. 
This double greene Cowflip is folike vnto the (ingle greene kinde formerly ex- 
preffed, that vntill they be neare flowring, they can hardly be diftinguiftied: but when 
it is in flower, it hath large double flowers , of the fame yellowifli greene colour with 
the (ingle, and morelaid openthen the former double Paigle. 
2 1 . Ptralyfls flore viridante flue calamiJlnto. 
The greene Rofe Cowflip, or double greene feathered Cowflip. 
There is fmall difference in the leaues of this double kinde from thelaft, but that 
they are not of fo darke a greene: the chiefeft difference confifteth in the' flowers 
whichare many, (landing togetherat the toppesofthe ftalkes, but farre differing from 
allother of thefe kindes : for euery flower (landing vpon his owne ftalke, is conTpofed 
of many very fmall and narrow leaues, without any husketo containethem , buc 
fpreading open like a little Rofe, of a pale yellowifli greene colour, and withoutany 
fent at all, abiding in flower, efpecially if it ftand in a (hadowie place out of the firnne 
aboue two moneths, almoft in as perfedt beauty, as in the firft weeke.
