The (.jar den of plea} ant Flowers. 
from the Angle purple for colour, but on- 
ly in the doubleneffe of the flower. 
The Grtnids Pinke differeth not from 
the Gilloflower of the fame name, but in 
thefmalneffebothof leauesand flower. 
The double Matted Pinke is before de- 
fcribed. 
The double blufli Pinke is altnoft as 
great as the ordinary blufli Gilloflower, 
and fome haue taken it for one, but the 
greeneleaues are almoft as fmall as Pinks, 
and therefore I referre it to them. 
The Angle purple Pinke is of a fairc 
purple colour, likealmoft vnto the purple 
Gilloflower. 
T he great blu At Pinke hath broader and 
larger leaues in the flower then any other 
Pinke, and of a faire blufli colour. 
The white Featherd Pinke bath the 
edges of the flower more Andy and deep- 
ly cut in then the former. 
The red or light purple featherd Pinke 
is like the former featherd Pinke, but only 
differeth in colour. 
The Starre Pinke is a faire flower, Andy 
tagged on the edges, with a faire red circle at the lower end of the leaues on the inAde. 
The white featherd Pinke of Auftria is deferibed before. The purple featherd 
Pinkeof Auftria is folikewife. The Angle matted Pinke is before deferibed. The 
fpeckled Pinke is a fmall flower hauing fmall fpotsof red here and there difperfed 
ouerthe white flower. 
Thofc Angle flowers being like vnto Pinkes that rife from the fowing of the orenge 
tawney, I bring not into this cUfsis , hauing already fpoken of them in the precedent 
Chapter. 
The Place. 
Thefe are all like as the former, nourifhed in Gardens with vs, although 
many of them are found wilde in many places of Auftria, Hnngarie, and 
Germany, on the mountaines, and in many other places, as Cluflusrecor- 
deth. The ordinary Thrift groweth in the fait Marflies at Chartam byRo- 
chefter, and in many other places in England : butthegreatkindewasga- 
thered in Spaine, by Guillaume Boel that painefullfearcher of flmpies, 
and the feede thereof imparted to me, from whence I had diners plants, 
but one yeare after another they all perifhed, 
TheTime* 
Many of thefe Pinkes both Angle and double, doe flower before any 
Gilloflower, and fo continue rntill Auguft, and fome, moft of the Sum- 
mer and Autumne. 
The Names. 
The feuerall titles that are giuen to ..hefe Pinkes, may fuffice fortheir par- 
ticular names : and for their generali they haue beene exprefled in the for- 
mer Chapter, beeingof the fame kindred, but that they are fmaller, and 
more frequently found wilde. The two forts of Thrift arecalled Ctrytpbjl- 
lu* Murinus. The greater, Maior dr Mediterrtncus ; InEnglifh, The grea- 
ter or Lc uant Thrift, or Sea Gilloflower. The lefTer Minimus, and is ac- 
counted of fome to be agraffe, and therefore called Gramea Murinum & 
Velytnt bimum . InEnglifh, Thrift, Sea grade, and our Ladies Cufbion, 
or Sea Cufhion. 
TheVertucs. 
It is thought by diuers, that their vertucs are anftverable to the Gillo- 
flowers, yet as they are of little vfc with vs, fo I thinke of as fmall cffcift.
