the outward Leaves , and of fo exceeding fweet a 
Smelly that it is almoft ready to overcome , at leaf 
fatiate the Senfes. 
IV. The fecond , or Leffer yellow African, is al- 
moft the fame with the former, but wants fomewhat 
of its fately Height , Largenefs of its Flowers and 
Cup , and Beauty of Color , it being of a paler yellow, 
and is in all thofe ref pells inferior to it -, nor is its 
fweet Smell altogether fo firong. 
V. The third , or Yellow Turkey Daffodil, althd 
from its bulbous Root it has very long Leaves , and 
a high Stalk , yet it comes Jhort of the Beauty of that 
which was la ft dcfcribed for in this the Flowers 
are not fo many , not being above four or five , nor fo 
large , being not much greater than the Common 
French Daffodil at feft. 1 1 .following, nor oj fo fair 
a color , but much paler -, nor having a Cup fo large , 
this being manife ftly fmaller -, nor of fo ftrong or 
fweet a Smell , this being alfo weaker. 
VI. The fourth , or Greater Limon-color’d, from 
an indifferent large bulbous Root , has three or four 
very long and green Leaves , half a yard long at leafl ■, 
among which rifes up a round , yet crefled Stalk , not 
fo high as the Leaves , bearing five or fix Jingle 
Flowers thereon , every one of them being greater 
than the Common French Daffodil at left. n. fol- 
lowing , or the Italian at feft. 13. they are of a faint , 
yet pleafant yellow color at Hr ft , but when they have 
been in flower a Fortnight , or thereabouts , change 
into a deeper yellow. The Cup in the middle is alfo 
larger than in thofe aforegoing , and of a deeper yel- 
low color than the other Leaves , having only three 
Chives within it • and is of a very pleafant Smell. 
VII. The fifths or Leffer Limon-color’d, from its 
bulbous Root hew broader and fhorter Leaves than 
the former , not green like them , but of the color oj 
other Daffodils. The Stalk rifes up higher than the 
Leaves , bearing four or five Flowers upon fhorter 
Foot-ftalks , and no bigger than the Common French 
Daffodil, of a pale yellow , which forne call a Brim- 
ftone color : the Cup , or rather Crown in the middle , 
is finally and broad open , of a little deeper yellow , 
having many Chives within it , /> were, Jpr ink- 
led over with a kind of Mealinefs. It is not full 
out of fo fweet a Smell as the former. 
VIII. The fixth , or Many-llowred Milk-white, 
has its bulbous Root covered over with a blackifh 
Skin -, from whence fpring Leaves of a mean fize , 
both for length and breadth , greener than the ordina- 
ry forts , which have fome Whitenefs in them. The 
Flowers are many upon the Stalky as fmall for the 
moft part as any of thefe kinds which bear many to- 
gether , being wholly of a Milk , or rather of a Snow 
white color , as well the Cup , which is f inally as the 
outward Leaves , which encompafs it : after which 
come finall Heads , in which is contained round black 
Seed , as all other Daffodils have, but fome greater, 
fome leffer , according to the Magnitude of the Plants. 
The Smell of this is very fweet. 
IX. The feventh, or Milk-white with the great 
Cup, is threefold, 1. One which has its Leaves 
fome vT at broader , and the Flowers greater than the 
former. 2. Another which has its Leaves fmaller, 
and its Flowers alfo, whofe Cups are likew'ife fmall, 
and are never feen fully open, but as it were half 
clofed at the brims. 3. Another fort , whofe Leaves 
are as broad as any of the leffer forts, and whofe Cup 
in the middle of the Flower is fome thing larger than 
in any of the leffer kinds, but leffer than in the great- 
er kinds -, the Leaves of whofe Flowers do a little 
turn the mf elves upwards, from whence it is called 
Reflexus. Thefe are ufually called Narciffus totus 
albus polyanthos, major, medius, minor, according 
as the differences are. 
X. The eighth , or Early Narbone, has from its 
bulbous Root, which is great. Leaves fpringing up a 
Month or two before the following kind, being alfo 
fhorter and narrower. The Stalk is not very high, 
bearing feveral Flowers at the top, breaking thro ’ a 
thin Skin, as is common with the Daffodils, every 
one of which is fmall, confifting of fix white Leaves, 
and a fmall yellow Cup in the middle, of a pleafant 
fweet Smell, but nothing fo ftrong as many others. 
The Root of this feldom parts into off fets, as all the 
following do, which bear many jingle blowers. 
XI. The ninth, or Common trench Daffodil, has 
its bulbous Root covered with a blackifh Skin, from 
which fpring long and broad green Leaves, a little 
hollowifh in the middle , and edged on both fide s : the 
St alk is about half a yard high, bearing on its top fe- 
veral Flowers , fomewhat larger than the former, con- 
fifting of fix white Leaves, fome thing round. The 
Cup is yellow in the middle, fmall and round, like 
unto an Acorn Cup, or a little fuller in the midft. 
This is the Defer ipt ion of thofe which came to us 
firft out of France ; but with us I think they either 
degenerate or alter in Form, making in fome the Cup 
fhorter, in others flatter, and fome longer than the 
reft fome of a paler and fome of a deeper yellow color. 
XII. The tenth, or Narbone with great Flowers, 
has a Root not fo great or round as the former, but 
is more plentiful in Off -fets than any other of the 
French or Italian kinds. The Leaves are almoft like 
the laft, not full out fo broad, but full out as long, 
fpring fooner out of the Ground, yet not fo early as 
the eighth at feft. 10. aforegoing. The Stalk is flat- 
ter and rifes higher, bearing four or five Flowers, 
much larger than any of this kind, every one equal- 
ling the FngiAh Daffodil (in cap. 189. left. 17.) but 
whiter than it, and the yellow Cup larger and more 
open than in any of the reft. 
XIII. The eleventh, or Italian Daffodil, from its 
bulbous Root has Leaves as large or larger than the 
Common French at feft. 1 1. above -, but its Stalk is 
fomewhat higher , bearing many white Flowers, very 
like to the faid Common French, but a little larger, 
as is alfo the yellow Cup in the middle, and rounder 
than is commonly feen in any of /ta French kinds 
except the Narbone with great'Flowers at feft. 1 2! 
above. 
XIV. The twelfth, or French many-flowred, with 
Saffron-colored Cups, has a bulbous Root, Leaves of 
a greyifh green color, not fo broad or fo long as the 
Italian, but coming nearer to the Common French. 
The Flowers are white, and many upon a Stalk : the 
yellow Cup is fomewhat large, and circled with a 
Saftron like brim or edge, which indeed makes the 
chief eft difference. 
XV. The thirteenth , or Other Saffron-color’d, 
has alfo a bulbous Root, from whence fpring Leaves 
large and long -, in the midft of which grows up a 
Stalk, bearing at its top feveral white Flowers, which 
are larger than any of the other French, except the 
Narbone with great Flowers at feft. 1 2. above j but 
the Cup is fmall and Jhort, rather feeming a Coronet 
than a Cup , of a deep Saffron color all about the 
brims or edges. 
XVI. The fourteenth, or Great Englifh Daffodil, 
has a bulbous Root , from whence fpring Leaves noi 
much broader or longer than the Narbone with great 
Flowers at feft. 1 2 above. The Stalk with the Flow- 
ers rifes not fully fo high as it, bear big many Flowers 
thereon, not altogether fo white, yet whiter than the 
Common Englifh (in cap. 189. feft. 17.) but nothing 
fo large, and wiih jhort, broad, and almoft round 
Leases, ft ending clofe one unto another. The yel- 
low Cup in the middle is Bowl-fajhicn , fomewhat 
deeper than in any of the former , but not much- 
greater -, and the Smell thereof is very fweet and 
pleafant.
