feriptions of fome three or foure of them, according to their variety, and the names wf 
the reft, with their diftimftions. 
I . Ctryophyllus minor filuestrit multiplex & [implex. 
Double and Angle Pinkes. 
The Angle and double Pinkes are for forme and manner of growing, mail parts like 
vnto the Gilloflowers before deferibed, fauing onely that theirleaues are fmallerand 
(horter, in fome more or leffe then in others, andfo are the flowers alfotthe finale 
kindes conAftingof flue leaues vfiially(feldome fix) round pointed, and a little fm pc 
forthe moft part about the edges, with fome threads in the middle, either crooked or 
ftraight : the double kindes being letter, and ldfedouble then the Gilloflowers,hauinc' 
their leaues a little fnipt or undented about the edges, and of diuers feucrall colours’ 
as (hall hereafter be fet downe , and of as fragrant a fenr , efpecially lome of them as 
they : the rootes are long and fpreading, fomewhat hard and wooddy. 
J . Ctrjoployllmplunuriui . Feathered or iagged Pinkes. 
The iagged Pinkes haue fuch like (hikes and leaues as the former haue , but fome- 
what (horter and ftnaller, or grafle-like, and of a whitifh or grayifh greene colour like- 
wife : the flowers ftand in the like manner at the toppes of the (hikes, in long, round, 
(lender, greene huskes, confiding of fiueleaues, verymuch cutin ontheedges, and 
iagged almoftlike a feather, ofa light red, or bright purplecolour, withtwowhite 
threads (landing in the middle, crooked like a horneat the end, and are ofa very good 
fent. Some of thefe haue not thofe two crooked threads or homes in the middle, but 
haue in their (lead many fmall threads, not crooked at all: the (cedes of them all are 
like vnto the feedes of Gilloflowers, or the other Pinkes, that is, fmall , blacke , long, 
and flat : the rootes are fmall and wooddy likewife. 
^.CtryophjUus plumtrius ellus eric rulro fine StelUtm. Starre Pinkes. 
Ofthiskinde there is another fort, bearing flowers almoft as deeply cut or iagged 
as the former, of a faire white colour, hauing a ring or circle of red about the bottomc 
or lower part of the leaues, and are as fweetc as the former : this being fowne of feedc 
doth not giue the ftarre of fo bright a red colour, but becommeth more dunne. 
4 . Ctrytpbyius plumirim Auflrincm fine Superb 4 Aufiriaca. 
The feathered Pinke of Auftria. 
Thiskindeof Pinke hath his firfl or lower leaues, fomewhat broader and greener 
thenany of the former Pinkes, being both for breadth and greennefle more like vnto 
theSweete Iohns, which (hall bee deferibed in the next Chapter : the leaues on the 
ftalkes are fmaller , (landing by couples at euery ioynt , at the toppes whereof ftand 
fuch like iagged flowers as the lad deferibed, and as large, but more deeply cut in or 
iagged round about, fome of them of a purplilh colour, but the moft ordinary with vs 
sire pure white, and of a moft fragrant fent, comforting the fpirits and fenfes a farre off: 
thefeedes and rootes are like vnto the former. Some haue miftaken a kindc of wilde 
Campion, growing in our Woods, and by the paths fides in Hornfie Parke, and other 
places, to be this feathered Pinke : but the flowers declare the difference fufficiently.
