Salmon ’ s Herbal Lib. I. 
like unto the Rulh Daffodils, but thicker and broader, 
fo that it may vary well be accounted among the Nar- 
row-leav’d Daffodils. Every Stalk bears at its top 
two or three veiy j air Urge ilowers, with a. large 
an l more open Cap than in any of lhejatd Ruin Daf- 
fodils ; both of them of a j air yellow color but the 
Cup a little deeper than the flower , and a little 
crumpled about the edges , having a pretty ft rong or 
l, harp pleafant Smell. This Plant by its flame, 
fj/d feem to be of the Rulh kind, which Name ,t 
'obtained by reef on of the Ukenejs of its Leaf to them : 
but in Conjidcration its Leaf is broader and larger 
than any of the Rulh Daffodils Authors have placed 
it among the Narrow-leav’d tho it might have in- 
differently been placed in the Rank of either Spe- 
C “yil. The ninth , or Single white Virginian, has a 
Root [mall, long and round , blackijh on the out fide , 
and white within ; from whence rife up two or three 
long and very narrow , green , Jhining Leaves , grow- 
ing [omeliincs reddifh about the edges: between thefe 
I eaves rifes up the Stalk , about five or fix inches 
high, or more, bearing on the Head thereof one flow- 
er, and no more, [landing upright, like a little Lilly 
or Tulip, made of fix Leaves , wholly while, both 
within and without, except that at the bottom next 
to the Stalk ; and a little on the backfide of the three 
outer Leaves, it has a fmall dafh of a reddifh purple 
color, h has alfo in the middle a few Chives, fund- 
ing about a fmall pointed Head, which Head grows to 
be fmall and long, containing fmall, blackijh, flat 
Seed. 
XU. The Vinces. The firfl and fecond of thefe 
grows with the Broad-leav d ones on the Pyien&an 
Mountains , from whence they were brought into our 
Gardens : rhe native places of the third and fourth 
are unknown : the fifth Clujius law growing in 
Spain : th eflxih is alfo a Native of the fame Coun- 
try. the Original of the feventh is unknown : the 
eighth we only know to grow in our Gardens : the 
ninth was brought to us from Virginia , where they 
grow in great abundance. All thefe, by Tranfplan- 
tation and Care, are now found to grow in Englijh 
Gardens. 
XIII. The Times. The firfl flowers early, a 
Month before the other Narrow-leaved kinds , viz. 
in the very beginning of March , if the Weather is 
mild : the fecond, third and fourth Rower in April : 
the fifth dowers in the beginning of Autumn , and 
the Seed is ripe in the end of Oftober , in hot Coun- 
tries •, but in ours, it feldom comes to more than 
flowering : the Jixth flowers in Autumn : the fe- 
venth flowers all the Summer long, whence came 
the Addition to its Name of Semper florens : the 
eighth flowers in April -, and the ninth in the end of 
April, and beginning or fore part of the Month of 
May. ’ „ . 
XIV. The Qualities, Specification , Preparations 
and Virtues, are accounted the lame with the Daf- 
fodils in Chap. 189. aforegoing, fo that no more need 
be laid thereof. 
II. The Kinds. It is twofold, viz. 1. Narcijfus 
angufiifolius flore a/bo pleno , Narrow-leav’d white 
double-flower’d Daffodil. 2. Narcijfus angufiifohus 
flore aureo plena , The narrow-leav’d double Golden- 
flower ’d Daffodil. 
III. The Defcriptions. The firfl, or Double- 
flowred narrow-leav’d Daffodil, has a Root very like 
unto the former Single Virginian Daffodil ( in cap. 
192. left. 11.) but it is a little larger and rounder, 
a little long withal , and blackifl) on the out fide , as 
that is ■, from whence rife up tzvo Leaves , fomewhat 
broader than that, but of a like Greennefs. The 
Stalk rifles up between thefe Leaves about a flpan 
high , or not much higher , bearing one fair double 
Snow-white Slower, very like in the Form or Shape 
to the Leffer French double Baftard Daffodil hereaf- 
ter to be deferibed for it is in like manner laid 0- 
penflat , and compofedof fix Rows of Leaves, every 
R010 lying in order jujl oppoflte , or one before ano- 
ther, whereof thofe fix Leaves, which make the firfl 
or outwardmojl Courfe , are the greatejl, and all the 
reft lying one upon or before another , every Row be- 
ing f mailer than the others : in the middle thereof 
comes forth a fmall, long, pointed Fork or Horn, 
white in flome fort , like to the Flower it felf 
IV. The fecond, or Double Golden narrow-leav’d, 
has a Root almoft like the Common Junquilia, or 
Rufh Daffodil, from which Spring up very narrow 
Leaves, four or five inches long, of a whitifh green 
color \ from among which rifes up a Stalk, about t 
up 1 
foot high , bearing at the top a Flower, conflfling of 
fome outward Leaves , which are of a yellow color , 
and of many other Leaves in the middle, being J, mai- 
ler , and fet thick and round together, of a more yel- 
low Gold color, but with fome whiter Leaves among 
them, the middle part a little pointing forth : the 
Flower Jlands long before it does per fell its color, 
and abides long in Flower before its color decays. 
V. The Places. It has been found growing in 
feveral places of Virginia , from whence it has been 
brought to us : it has alfo been found growing in 
the Lawns of Carolina. 
VI. The Times. It flowers in Virginia towards 
the latter end of March , or beginning of April : but 
with us here in England in the end of April 
VII. The Qualities, Specification, Preparations 
and Virtues, are faid to be the fame with the Daf- 
fodils in Chap. 189. to which I referr you. 
VIII. An Obfervation. I have been told by fome 
of the Indians , that if the Juice of the Root be gi- 
ven for fome confiderable time, inwardly in the 
Spring of the Year •, and that the Root it felf, by 
being beaten and made into a Cataplafm, be alfo at 
the fame time applied to Tumors in the Neck and 
Throat, it will cure them. I fuppofe the Tumors 
here meant, are Strumous.
