Matter Tuggiehis Rofe Gilloflower is of the kindred of thefe 
''•f‘ US r ° Mniui Tawnies,being raifed from the feedeof fome of them,and onely 
n poirdTcd by him that is the moftinduftriouspreferuer of all na- 
tures beauties, being a different fort from all other, in that it hath 
round leaues, without any iagge at all on the edges, of a fine fta- 
raell full colour, without any fpot or ftrake therin,vcry like vnto 
a fmall Rofe, or rather much like vnto the red Rofe Campion, 
both for forme, colour, and roundneffe, but larger for fize. 
The Place. 
All thefe are nourifhed with vs in Gardens, none of their naturali places 
being knowne, except one before recited, and the yellow which is Sileji*-, 
many of them being hardly preferued and encreafed. 
The Time. 
They flower not vntill the heate of the yeare, which is in Iuly (vnleffe it 
be an extraordinary occafion) and continue flowring, vntill the colds of the 
Autumne chccke them , or vntill they haue wholly out fpent themfelues, 
and are vfually encreafed by the flips. 
The Names. 
Moftof our later Writers doe callthemby onegencrallname, Ctrjt- 
fbjSw/jtivM, and fits Csryopbj Reus, adding thereunto msxmtu, when wee 
mcane Carnations, and msitr when we would expreffe Gilloflowers, which 
name is taken from Cloues,in that the fent of the ordinary red Gilloflower 
cfpccially doth refemblc them. Diuers other feucrall names haue bcene 
formerly giuen them, as retentes, or 'Betenics sit era, or retonics sltilis, and

Jits, mentioned in the former, and in other places. We call them in Englifb 
(as I faid before)thcgreateft kindes, Carnations, and the others Gillofiow- 
Iuly flowers) as they are feuerally expreffed. 
TheVertues. 
The red or Cloue Gilloflower is moft vfed in Phyfickc in our Apothe- 
caries fhops, none of the other being accepted of or vfed (and yet I 
doubt not, but all of them might ferue, and to goodpurpofe, although not 
to giue fo gallant a tinifture to a Sy rupe as the ordinary red will doe) and is 
accounted to be very Cordiall.
