y, Tracheitum mains {lerf duplici albo& c&ruleo. 
Canterbury Bels with double flowers both white and blew. 
Ofthiskinde of Throateworte or Canterbury Bels, there is another fort, not dif- 
fering in any thing from the former, but in the doublcncfle of theflower : For there 
is of both the kindes, one that beareth double white flowers, and the other blew : Of 
each whereof I recciued plants from friends beyond the Sea, which grow well with 
*ne. 
6. Tracheitum Giganteum flare purpurante. 
Pale purple Giants Throateworte. 
This Bell-flower, although it hath a Gigantine name, yet did I neuerperceiueit in 
my Garden, to rife vp h gher then the former, the epirhite beeing in my perfwafion, 
only giuen for difference fake : the leaues whereof are not fo rough, but as large, and 
dented about the edges, lomewhat larger pointed, and of a frdhergreene colour : the 
ftalkes beare fuch like leaues on them, but more thinly or dii'pcrfedly fet, hauinga 
fioweratthefettingonof eucryoneof the leaues, from themiddlevpwards, and are 
fomewhat like the great Throateworte in forme, but of a pale or bicake reddiih pur- 
plecoloor,turningthebrims or corners a little backwards, with a forked clapper in 
the middle, fufficicnt eminent and yellow : the feede hereof is white, and plentiful! 
in the heads, which will abide all the winter vpon the ftalkes, vntill all thefeede being 
fhed, the heads remaining lccme like torne rags, or likethin pecces ofskin, eaten with 
wormes : the roote is great,thickeand white, abiding long without perilhing. 
■Unaiit. There is another which differeth not any thing but inthe flower, which is white. 
7 . Tracheitum minus flore albo & purpureo. 
Small Throateworte or Canterbury Bells both whiteand purple.’ 
The leffer Throateworte hath fmallcr leaues, nothing fo broadc or hard as the for- 
mer great kinde, but long, and littleor nothing dented about the edges : the ftalkesare 
fquareandbrowni(h,if it beare purple flowets, and greene if it beare white flowers, 
which in forme are alike, and grow in a bu(h or tuft,thicke fet together, more then any 
of the former, and fmaller alio, bejng not much bigger then the flowers of thefielde, 
or garden Rarapions : the roote is lafting,andfhooteth afrdheucry yeare. 
8 . Tracheitum Americarum flore ruberrimo, flue Planta Cardinate. 
The rich crimfon Cardinals flower. 
This brauc plant, from a white roote fpreading diuers wayes vndcr ground, fendeth 
forth many greene leaues, fpread round about the head thereof, each w hereof is fome- 
what broade and long, and pointed at the end, finely alfo fniptabout the edges : from 
the middle whereof arifethvp around hollow ftalke,twofoorebighat the leaft.befet 
with diuers fuch leaues as grow below, but longer below then a'ooue, and branching 
out at the toppe aboundantly, euery branch bearing diuers greene leaues on them, and 
one at the foote of euery of them alfo, the toppes whereof doe end in a great large 
tuft of flowers, with a finall greene leafe at the foory of theftalkeof euery flower, 
each footeftalke being about an inch long, bearing a round greene huske, diuided into 
fiue long leaues or points turned downwards,and in themidft ofeuery of them a molt 
rich crimfou coloured flower, ending in fiue long narrow leaues, ftanding all of them 
foreright, but three of them falling downe, with a long vmbone fet as it were at the 
backe of them, bigger below, and fmaller aboue, and at the toppe a fmall head, being 
of a little paler colour then theflower, but of no fent or fmell at all, commendable on- 
ly for the great bu(h of fo orient red crimfon flowers : after the flowers are paft, the 
leede commeth in fmall heads, clofed within thofe greene husks that held the flowers, 
which is very like vnto the feede vefifels of the f'iola Mariana, or Couentry Bels, and 
is fmall and bro wnilh.
