tho' they are double , and bear many upon a Stalk , 
like unto the former, yet this has the pieces of the 
yellow Cups tipt with purple , as if they were Jhred 
or fcattcred among the white Leaves , whereas the 
other has only the yellow , without any appearance of 
purple Tips upon them : the Smell of this is as ftrong 
and fweet as any of the other. 
VIII. The fixth , or Many-flowred double yellow 
of Cyprus, has a bulbed Root , like to the former , 
and its Leaves are aimed as long and as broad as the 
other. The Stalk is a foot high andmore, bearing on 
its top four or Jive flowers , every one very double , 
of a fine pale yellow color , and of a ftrong fweet 
Smell.

I- 'T' H E Karnes. It is called in Greek , Kafx/oj©- 
X ?evo?uAK& ct7iA*( : .in Latin , Narciffus angu- 
flifolius Jimplex : in Englijh, Smgle-flowred, narrow- 
leav'd Daffodil. 
II. The Kinds. The molt obferv’d are about nine 
in number, viz. 1. Narciffus anguftifolius albidus 
prdcox oblongo calice, The early white narrow-leav’d 
Daffodil, with a long Cup. 2. Narciffus medio cro- 
ceus tenuifolius. The Saffron-crown’d "narrow-leav’d 
fmall Daffodil. 3. A draft its minimus medio purpu- 
reus. The leaft purple-ring’d Daffodil. 4. Narcif- 
fus minimus flore juncifolii , The leaft Daffodil of 
all. 5. Narciffus Autumnalis minor a/bus. The lit- 
tle white Autumn Daffodil. 6. Narciffus Autumna- 
hs a/bus medio obfoletus , The white Autumn Daffo-

lius listens femper fiorens , The yellow Italian Daf- 
fodil, always flowering. 8. Narciffus anguftifolius, 
vel juncifolius maximus amplo Calice , The Great 
Junquilia with a large Flower or Cup. 9. Narcif- 
fus Virgineus, vel Virginianus , feu Lilimrciifus 
Virgtmanus , The Virginia Daffodil. 
III. The Defcriptions. The firft of thefe, or Ear- 
ly white narrow-leav’d Daffodil, from a bulbous Root 
has three or four narrow, long and very green 
Leaves, a foot long generally. The Stalk rifes not 
Jo high as the Leaves, on which grows one flower, 
(not full out Jo large as the Late-flowering Daffodil 
with a long Cup, among the Broad-leav’d kinds) 
which confifts of fix pale-color' d Leaves, not of a pure 
white but with a : mixture of a light yellow among 
trie white. The Cup in the middle is round and long , 
(yet not Jo long as to be accounted a Baftard Daffo- 
dil) within which is a middle Poinpel, compafted with 
fix Chives, having yellow mealy Pendents. 
IV. The fecund, or Saffron-crown’d narrow-leav’d 
fmall Daffodil, has a Root fmall. , round and a little 
long withal, covered with a b/ackitb Skin , which 
fends forth four or five narrow Leaves, about a fpan 
long-, among which rifes up a Stalk eight, nine or ten 
inches high, bearing at top one fmall white Flower , 
confi fling of fix Leaves , with a fmall yellow Cup in 
the middle, Jhadiowed over at the brims with a Saf- 
fron color. 
V. The third . , or Lead purple-ring’d, has a bul- 
bous Root , fmall narrow Leaves, Jborler by much than 
any of the Purple-ring’d Daffodils before described. 
The Stalk and Flower keep an equal proport ion to the 
reft of the Plant , being in Form and Color of the 
Flower like unto the Star Daffodil before deferibed, 
but unlike in Magnitude. The purple color which 
encircles the brims of the Cup, is fc fmall, that fome- 
limes it is not eafily perceived. 
VI. The fourth, or Leaft of all, has a Root fmall, 
even the fmalleft of any Daffodil, and covered with 
a black Skin -, from whence fpring two or three 
whit ijh green Leaves , narrower than the two lad a- 
foregoing, andjhorter by half, being not above two or 
three inches long : nor ts the Stalk above three or four 
inches high , bearing one fingle Flower at top, Jome- 
thtng larger than the proportion of the Plant jhould 
feem to admit , and not much unlike to the Leaft Rufh 
Daffodil, and of the fame bignefs, or rather Jome- 
what bigger , being of a faint yellow color, both 
Leaves and Cup or Crown ; for the middle part is 
Spread very much, even to the middle of the Leaves 
almoft, and lyes flat open upon the Flower. 
VII. The fifth, or Little white Autumn, has a 
bulbous fmall Root, and blackijh on the outjide, which 
rifes with its Flowers firft out of the Ground, with- 
out any Leaves at all. It firft Springs up with one 
or two Stalks three or four inches long every one 
bearing, out of a fmall Husk, one fmall Shite Flower 
laid open abroad , like unto the Star whire Daffodil 
bejore deferibed. In the midft of the Flower is a f. 'moll 
yellow Cup, of a middle fize. After the Flower is 
paft, there comes in the fame place a fmall Head 
containing fmall, round , black Seed, like unto the 
Autumn Hyacinth. After the Seed is ripe and gone, 
then fpring up the Leaves, which are Jinall and nar- 
row, net much bigger than thofe of the Autumn Hy- 
acinth afore-named. 1 
VIII. The fixth, or White Autumn with a decay- 
ed Crown, from its bulbous Root has two or three 
Leaves at moft , and very narrow, (fo that fome ac- 
count it among the Rufh Daffodils) fomewliat broad 
at bottom , and more pointed at ' top ; between which 
Leaves conies up the Stalk, bearing uf tally two Flow- 
ers, and no more , made of fix while Leaves apiece , 
pointed, and not round. The Cup is fmall and round 
like unto the Cup or Crown of the Leaft Rufh Daf- 
fodil, of a yellow color at bottom , but of a dun color 
towards the edge. 
IX. The Seventh, or Yellow Italian always flow- 
ering, has a bulbous Root, from whence fpring a 
number of fmall , long, narrow , and very green Leaves 
broader than the Leaves of any Rufh Daffodil ; a- 
mong which rife up divers Stalks , bearing at their 
Heads two or three Flowers apiece, each of them be- 
ing fmall and yellow, with a fmall Crown, of a deep- 
er yellow than the former. It is /aid never to ceaj'e 
bearing Flowers, but that after one or mere Stalks 
have been in flower together , and are paft , others 
fucceed. in their places. 
X. The eighth , or Great Junquilia with a large 
Flower, has a Root which is greater and longer thart 
the Kufh Daffodils, covered with a blackijh Skin ■, 
from whence fpring up feveral long green Leaves, 
Nm like
