(ciucs in the ground. 
The leaues of this kinde are like vnto the laft deferibed , but fomewhat narro wer : 
the (hikes and flowers are alike , but fmaller alio , and of a pale purplilb or blufh co- 
lour, which caufeth the difference* 
triesalfo. it groweth likevvifein Lancafhire, neatevpon the border of 
Yorkshire, in a wood or place called the Helkcs, which is three miles from 
lngleborough,thehigheft Hill in England, and not farre from Inglecon, as 
lamenformed by a courteous Gentlewoman, a great louer of thefe de- 
lights, called Miftrjs Thomafin Tunftall, who dwellethatBull-banke, 
neare Hornby Caftlein thofe parts, and who hath often fentmee vpthe 
rootesto London, which haue'borne faire flowersin my Garden. Thefe- 
cond groweth in many places of England, and wit h the fame Gentlewoman 
alfo before remembred, who fent me one plant of this kinde with the other. 
Thelaftlhauenotyet krtowhe to growe in England; but no doubt many 
things doe lye hid, and notobferued, which in time may beedifcQuered,if 
our Country Gentlemen and women , and others, in their feuerall places 
where they dwell, would be more carefull and diligent, and beaduertifed 
either by themfelues, or by others capable and fit to be imployed, as occa- 
fion and time might ferue , to finde out fuch plants as growe in any the cir- 
cuits or limits of their habitations, or in their trauels , as their pleafuresor 
affaires leade them. And becaufe ignorance is the chiefe caufe of negled 
of many rare things, which happen to their view at fometimes, which are 
nottobe feeneagaine peraduenture, or not in many ycares after, I would 
heartily aduife all men of meanes, to be ftirred vp to bend their mindcs,and 
fpend a little more time and trauell in thefe delights of herbes and flowers, 
then they haucformerly done, which arenot onely harrnlelfe, but pleasu- 
rable in their time, and profitable in their vfe. And if any would be better 
enformed, and certified of fuch things they know not , I would be willing 
and ready to my beft skill to aduertife them, that (hall fend any thing vp to 
me where I dwell in London. Thus farre I haue digrefled from the matter 
in hand, and yet not without fome good vfe I hope, that others may make 
of it.
