T Here are a great many forts of Knapweedes, yet none of them all fitforthis 
our Garden, but this only ftrafiger, which I haue becnc bold to thruft inhere, 
for that it hath Rich like gaping or open flowers, as the former Corne flowers 
haue but notably differing* and therefore defemeth a pecuhar Chapter, «pai taking 
both wkh CtaJ and lacca. It hath many long and narrow leaues vneuenly dented or 
waued on both edges (and not notched, gafhed or indented, as many other hetbes are) 
hedns thick? flefhie and brittle, a little hairy, and of anouerwornedarkegreene co-

hrumes in the middle of the fame colour, ftandingvp higher then any of the former: 
this flower rifeth out of a large fcaly head, all fet oucr with fmall fharpe (butharme-

The Place. 
It gtoweth naturally by the Sea fide in Spaine, from whence I receiued 
the feedcs of Guillaume Bod, and did abide well in my garden a long 
time, but is now perilhed. 
The Time. 
Itflowreth in the beginning of Iuly, or thereabouts, and contmueth i not 
long in flower : but the head abideth a great while, and is of iome beauty
