red, and fome red fpotted with white, all of them being (ingle flowers. Butthereis 
another of this kinde,not differing in leafe, but in flower : for that the firft flowers are

times doe breake the pod or huske i being not altogether of fo deepc a red colour, 
but more pale.

one lift, rather then for any beaurie of the flowers) but another greater kinde, which 
is of as great beautie and delight almoft as any of the former Pinkes, as well for that 
the leauesare like vnto Gilloflowers, being longer and larger then any Pinkes, and of 
awhitilh gretnc colour like vnto them, not growing long or by couples vpon the 
ftalkcs as Pinkes and Gilloflowers doe, but tufting dole vpon the ground, like vnto 
the common Thrift.-as alfo that the ftalkes, riling from among the leaues (being fome- 
times two foote high (as I haueobferued in my garden) are yet fo (lender and weakc, 
that they are fcarce able to beare the heads of flowers, naked or bare, both of leaues 
and ioynts,fauing only in one place, where at the ioynt each ftalke hath two fmall and 
very (liort leaues, not rifing vpwards as in all other Gilloflowers, Pinkes, and other

part one after another, not flicwing vfually aboue foure or due flowers open at one 
time(fo farre as I could obferue in the plants that I kept) fo that it was long before the 
whole tuft of flowers were paft ; but yetthe hotcrand dryerrhe time was, the fooner 
it would be gone : the feede 1 haue not perfe&ly obferued, but as I remember, it was

the flower is of a pale purplilh red colour.
