three or foure (Inal! flowers were ioyned together, with euery one his fpurre behinde, 
the greateft flower being outermoft, and as it were containingthe reft, which are of x 
palered.or deepe blufh colour : Anotherof this kindewill bearchis flowers with 
three or foure rowes of leaues in the middle, making a double flower with one fpurre 
behinde onely : and of this kinde there is both with purple, blew, blufh, and 
white flowers, and party coloured alfo ; thefe doe all beare feed like the Angle, wherby 
it is encreafed euery yearc. 
3 . Delphinium tnienfle. Wilde Larkes fpurres. 
This wilde Larkes fpurre hath fmaller and fherter leaues, fmaller and lower bran- 
ches, and more thinly or fpjrfedly growing vpon them, then any of the former : the 
flowers likewife are ncytherfo large as any of the former, nor fo many growing toge- 
ther, the cods likewifehaue fmaller feede, and is harder to grow in gardens then any 
ofthe former^ the molt vfuall colour hereof is a pale reddilhor blufh colour, yet fome- 
times they are found both white an d blew, and fometimes mixt of blew and blufh, va- 
riably difpofed, as nature can when fne lifteth ; but are much more rare. 
4 . Diphinium elutius flore flmpl.'d diuer ferum color urn. 
Single vpright bearing Larkes heeles of many colours. 
The difference betweene this and the laft is, that the leaues of this are not fully fo 
greene, norfoiarge;theftalkesgrovvvpright,tothc height of aman, andfometimes 
higher, hauing fome branches thereon, but'fewerthen the former, and ftanding like- 
wife vpright, and not leaning downe as the former : thetoppesof the ftalkcs are bet- 
ter ftored with flowers then the other, being fometimes twofootc long and aboue, 
ofthe fame fafhion, but not altogether fo large, but of more diuers arid feueral colours, 
as white, pale, blufh, redde deeperor paler, afbcoloured, purple or violet, and of an 
ouerworneblcwiib purple, orironcolour : for of all thefc we haue Ample, without 
any mixture or fpot : but we haue other forts, among the Ample colours, t hat rife from 
the fame feede,and will haue flowers that wil be balfe white, and halfeblufh or purple, 
or one leafe white, and another blufli or purple, or elfe variably mixed and fpotted: 
the feede and feede veflels ate like the former but larger and harder. 
5 . Delphinium ehtius flore pleno diuer forum colorum. 
Double vpright Larkes heeles of many colours. 
Thefe double Larkes heeles cannot bee knowne from the Angle of the fame kinde, 
vntill they come towards flowring ; for there appeare many flo wers vpon the ftalkcs, int 
the fame manner, and of as many colours almoft as of the Angle, except the party co- 
loured, which ftand like little double Rofcs, layd or fpread broade open, as the Rofe 
Colombine without any heeles behinde them, very delightfull to behold, confifting 
of many fmall leaues growing together, and after they arc fallen there come vp in 
their places three or foure fmall cods fet together, wherein is contained here and 
there (for all are not full of feede, as the Angle kindes)blacke feede, likevntoall the 
reft, but fmaller, which being fowen will bring plants that will beare both Angle and 
double flowers againe,and it often happeneth, that it variably altereth in colours from) 
it owne fowing : for none of them hold conftantly his owne colour, (fo farreas euer 
I could obferue) but fall into others as nature pleafeth. 
6. Delphinium Hifpunicum paruum. Spanifti wilde Larkes fpurres. 
This fmall Larkes fpurre of Spainc, hath diaerslong and broad leaues next the 
ground, cut-in on both Ades, fomewhat like vnto the leafe of a Scabious,or rather that 
kindeof Stoebe,which Lobel calleth Crispin* , for it doth fomewhat needy referable 
the fame, but that this is fmooth on the edges, and not indented be Ades the cuts, as the 
Crupinu is, being of a whitifh greene colour, and fomewhat fmooth and foft in 
handling : among the leaues rifeth vpawhitilb greene ftalke, hauing many fmaller
