from whence theie have been brought to us, were 
Italy, Spain , the Pyrenxan Mountains, and Southern 
parts ol France, : the twelfth is a Native of Barbary , 
and was brought to us from trance. Now, by ln- 
duftry and careful Cultivation, they are all become 
tree Denizons, if not Natives of our Country, where, 
in the Gardens of our Florifts , they thrive very 
well. 
XVI: The Times. They molt of them flower in 
the Spring, in March, (if it is mild) and April 
and May, the Seed ripening in fome reafonable time 
after : but the lalt or twelfth flowers not till Oflo- 
ber . , and the Frofts coming foon alter, caufes it lud- 
denlv to perifh.

CHAP. CXCV. 
Of DAFFODIL Rufh, doublc- 
flowred. 
I. H E Names. It is called in Greek, 
JL J'n( 7 m AAa>7TAo©-, BoaC©- s//s77Ksf '• in Tat in, 
Narciffus fund folius Jlore multiplici, Narciffus Jun- 
ceus Jlore pleno. Bulbus Vomit orius Diofcoridis Jlore 
pie no : in Eng/ifh, Rttf b Daffodil, or Junquilia 
dottb/e-Jlowred. 
II. The Kinds. There are but two ufual kinds of 
this double fort, viz. 1. Narcifftts Juncifolius lute- 
us Jlore pleno. The double Junquilia, or Rulh Daf- 
fodil. 2. Narcifftts Juncijoliits lutetts Jlore pleno 
minori, The lefler Junquilia, or Rulh Daffodil. 
III. The Defcriptions. The JirJl of thefe hits a 
Root which is bulbous or round, and blackifh brown 
on the out fide, fo like unto the Common Rulh Daf- 
fodil, that it is dimoll impojjible to know the one from 
the other -, from i which ffp ring forth long, round, green 
Leaves , like the Leaves of the Common or Ordinary 
Junquilia, or Rufli Daffodil, and of the fame bignejs, 
among which rifes up a long, fender, green Stalk , 
bearing two or three, Jcldom more, j mall Flowers, 
yellow and double, viz. with feveral Rows of Leaves, 
having the yellow Cup fitch as is in the fingle Flower, 
broken into final! Jbreds or pieces, running among 
the Leaves of the blowers ■, which pieces in fome 
blowers arc not fo eafily Jeen, being fnaller than in 
others. This bears no Button or Head under the 
blower, for Seed. 
IV. The fecond, or Lefler kind, is in its Root, 
Leaves, Stalk and blowers very like to the former, 
fave that its blowers are J mailer, and not fo double, 
being one, two or three at rnoff upon a Stalk-, and 
a/Jo of much left Beauty. 
V. ’The Places. They are Natives of Italy , Tur- 
key, Spain, the Pyrenxan Alountains, and fome 
Southern parts of Trance : but flourilh very well 
with us in our Gardens. 
VI. The Times. Their chief times of flowering 
are in March, April and May. 
VII. The Vitalities, Specification , Preparations 
and Virtues, are much the fame with thole of the 
Common Daffodil in Chap. 1 89. aforegoing. 
VIII. An Obfervauion. The Juice of the Root, 
'whether of fingle or double Junquiha’s. It may be 
given, to caufe Vomit and cleanfe the Stomach, 
from 1 fpoonful to 2 or more, mixed with a Glafs 
of White Wine or warm Water, in the Morning 
falling •, it carries off thick and. vifeous Humors, 
and the Matter which caufes the King’s-evil : Some 
mix it with Vinegar for the fame purpofe. It alfo 
purges downwards afterwards, the reft of thole 
thick tough Recrements. 
IX. Obferv. 2. The Decottion in Wine. It does 
alfo the fame thing with the Juice, but it is plea- 
fanter, and works more gently, and moftly by Stool, 
if it is corrected with An feed. Ginger and other 
Spices, to abate the Churlilhnefs of the Working. 
I have found it by Experience to be good againft a 
Paralyfis, if it was recent, and the Patients had 
Strength and Youth on their fides. 
X. Oblerv. 3. The Root made into a Cataplafm, 
and applied, or into an Ointment , as you do Pile- 
wort Roots, is an excellent thing to be applied to 
Strumous Tumors or Swellings in the Throat oro- 
ther Parts, whether they be whole, or broken and 
ulcerated. 
CHAP, cxcvi. 
Of DAFFODIL Sea. 
I-HP-tf E Names. It is called in Greek, N<ep*/«®- 
_L ertoTur Ti flaAaaw©- : in Latin, Narciffus Ma- 
rinas vel Lit or alis and in Englifh , Sea Daffo- 
dil. 
II. The Kinds. There are four kinds thereof: 
the JirJ} is commonly called, Narciffus Marinas mag- 
nus, five Tertius Matthio/i , The great white Sea 
Daffodil, or Matthiolus his third Daffodil. CluJius 
called it Lilionarcffus Hemerocallis and He me roc al- 
lidis facie -, and yet this feems not to be a proper 
Name, for that his Hemerocallis is a plain Pancra- 
tion, or Sea Baffard Daffodil , whole middle Cup is 
longer fhan the Cup of any true Daffodil, which is 
the chiefelt Note of Difference between a True and 
a Baffard Daffodil. It may molt fitly be called, 
Narciffus Marinas maximus , The greateft Sea Daf- 
fodil, becaufe it is a true Daffodil, and the greateft 
of all others ^ as alfo becaufe it has been found 
chiefly in Iflands, or Places near the Sea. 2. Nar- 
ciffus Indie us Autumn alis quor undam Lobe hi. Pan- 
cratium Indicant , The Indian Autumn Sea Daffodil 
of Lobel. 3. Narciffus Mannus African us, five 
Exoticus Lobelii, The African Sea Daffodil. 4. 
Narciffus Marinas Exoticus , The ftrange Sea Daf- 
fodil : of all which in order. 
III. The Delcriptions. The firff, or Great white 
Sea Daffodil, has a Root which by Age or a long Con- 
tinuance, ffanding in one place without being remo- 
ved, grows to be much greater and larger than any 
other Daffodil whatfoever, fometimes to be as large 
as any Ordinary Squil or Sea Onion, being black on 
the outfide, and having many long, thick and white 
Fibres or long Roots, variouffy branched, and ffpread 
under the upper part of the Earth, befides fome others 
which grow downwards, and perifh not every Tear, 
as the Fibres of all or moft of the other Daffodils do 
for which Reafon this Plant will not thrive and bear 
blowers, if it is often tranfplanted, but delights to 
continue in one place without removing, and where 
it may not be overjhadovied with other Herbs Ji end- 
ing too near it , which then will flour ijh , and bear 
many fine blowers. From this Root arife Jix or fe- 
ven, or more Leaves, twice fo broad almoff as any 
| of the former Daffodils, but not fo long by half as 
many of them , being rather fhort in Comparifon of 
the breadth , and of a white green color : {rent the 
midff
