3 . BhtUrii lutee then vulgdtior. The ordinary yellow Moth Mullein. 
This yellow Moth Mullein (which is the moll frequent in our Gardens) hath 
longer, and narrower leaues then any of the former , and roundly notched or dented 
on thcedgcSjofadarkcgrecne colour : the ftalke is fometimes branched, but moft 
Viually fmgle, whereon ftand many gold yellow flowers, not fully fo large as the Spa- 
nifhkinde, but with the like purple threads in the middle : the feede isfmall, and 
contained in the like round heads, but alwaies eucryonefinglc by it felfe : the roote 
perifheth eucry ycare that it beareth feede. 
4 .'BUttaria flore luteo purpurefceitle.C loth of gold Moth Mullein. 
The greateft point of difference betweene this and the laft deferibed, confifteth 
chiefly in the colour of the flower, which in this is of the colour of cloth of gold, that 
is, the ground yellow, and ouerfhadowed with a bright crimfon colour, which is a fine 
colour of much delight: the threads in the middle are not fo purple red as in the for- 
mer, but much about the colour of the flower : this is not fo willing to giue feede, and 
will as hardly abide in the roote, and hath out of queftion rifen from the feede of the 
former. 
5 .Bltturia flore olio. White Moth Mullein. 
The leaues of the white Moth Mullein are fomewhat like vntotheyellow,yet not 
altogether fo much roundly notched about the edges , but rather a littledented, with 
fhar per notches : the ftalke rifeth as high as the yellow, and hath now and then fome 
branches about it : the flowers hereof arc pu re white, as large and great as the ordinary 
yellow, or fomewhat larger, with the like purple threads in themiddle, as are in the 
yellow : the feed is like the other ; the root perifheth in like maner, and willnot endure. 
6. Blot turi* flore purpureo. Purple Moth Mullein . 
The Purple Moth Mullein hath his leaues lying on the ground , broader and fhor- 
ter then any oftheother,ofa more grayifh greene colour, and without any denting 
for the moft part about the edges, fharpe pointed alfo at the end of the leafe; among 
the leaues rifeth vp the ftalke, nor fo high as either the white or the yellow, and many 
times branched , bearing many flowers thereon , of the fame fafliion, and no whit 
fmaller, of a faire deepe ble wifti colour tending to redaeffe, the threads in the middle 
ofthe flowers being yellow : the feede vcflels hereof are fomewhat fmaller then any 
oftheformcr, exccptthefirft fweete yellow kinder the roote hereof is long, thicke, 
andblackifhontheoutfide, abiding very well fromyearc toyeare, and rifeth well 
alfo from the fo wing of the feede. 
7 .Blattarie flere ceruleo. BlewMoth Mullein. 
This blew Moth Mullein is in all refpedfs like vnto the former purple kinde, fauing 
onely in the colour ofthe flower, which is of a blewifh violet colour, and is not much 
inferiour either in greatneffe of the plant, orinthelargenefleof the flower, vote the 
former purple kinde, and endureth many yeares in thelike manner. And thefe be all
