0/ DAFFODIL Bafhrd,Rufli-leavd. 
I. /- T - ' H E Names. It is called in Greeks "ViuArdf- 
JL */.»©- aycM Ht •• in Latin , Pfeudonarciffus 
Juncifolius , w/ Junceus : in Englijh , Baftard Rufh 
Daffodil. 
II* The Kinds. Authors make four feveral forts 
of this Plant,t>iz. I .Pfeudonarciffus Juncifolius albus. 
The white Baftard Junquilia, or Rufh DaffodiL 2. 
Pfeudonarciffus Juncifolius luteus major , The greater 
yellow Baftard Junquilia, or Baftard Rufh Daffodil. 
3. Pfeudonarciffus Juncifolius luteus minor , The 
lelfer yellow Baftard Junquilia, ot Rufh Daffodil. 
4. Pfeudonarciffus Juncifolius luteus ferotinus , 
The. late yellow Baftard Junquilia, or Rufh Daf- 
fodil. 
III. The Defcriptions* The fir ft , £>* White Ba- 
ftard Junquilia, has a bulbous Root , which rife 
up two or three long and very green Leaves^ very 
like unto the Small yellow Junquilia, or Rufh Daf- 
fodil before defer ibed , but not altogether fo round : 
from among which rifes up a Jhort Stalk , about fix 
niches high, bearing at top , out of a skinny Husk , 
one fmall white Flower, fometimes declining to a pale 
color , having fix fmall and Jhort Leaves ftanding a- 
bout the middle of the Trunk , which is long , and 
much wider open at the mouth than at the bottom. 
The fmall outward Leaves or Wings are a little 
tending to green , and the Trunk , as I faid , is either 
white or whitijh , having the brims or edges a little 
uneven. The Seed is fmall , black and round , like 
unto other Junquilia, or Rufh Daffodils, but 
f mailer. 
IV. The fecond , or Greater yellow Baftard Jun- 
quilia, has a bulbous Root , bigger than the former * 
and the Leaves of this Greater kind are longer , 
greater and a little broader than the laft defer ibed. 
'The Stalk alfo is higher , and the Flower larger , more 
open at the Mouth , and more crumpled than the 
White, but wholly of a yellow color. The Seed is 
alfo larger , according to the Proportion of the 
Plant. 
V. The third , or LefTer yellow Baftard Junquilia, 
is in Root , Leaves , and Flower , <7/7^ manner 
of Growing , in all things fo like unto the lafl, 
it is needlefs to trouble you with any farther Defer ip- 
tion thereof \ the only Difference is in the Magni- 
tude of the Plants , this being f mailer in all its 
Parts. 
VI. The fourth, or Late yellow Baftard Junquilia, 
is in Root , Leaves, Stalk and Flower , alfo in man- 
ner of Growing , very like unto the former Greater 
yellow Baftard Junquilia, but with this Difference , 
that this is rather the larger Plant, and bears the 
fairer Flower, and flowers alfo fame thing later than 
that does. 
VII. The Places. Thefe all came to us from the 
Vyrenxan Mountains ■ and being tender Plants, are 
with much Care, nurs’d up in our Gardens, 
VIII. The Times.. The three hr ft flower in April: 
the laft flowers a Month later, viz. jn May; 
IX. The Qualities, Specification, Preparations and 
Virtues, are much the fame with the Common Daf- 
fodil , of which we have lpoken in Chap. 189. afore- 
going.

Of DAFFODIL Bafhrd, Sea, 
I.'T^ H E Names. It is called in Greek, 'FwJbvd^ 
X Kioj& Qdxchjt<& : in Latin, Pfeudonarciffus 
Marinas •, and in Englijh , Sea Baftard Daffodil. 
II. The Kinds. So far as we know, it is a An- 
gular Plant of the kind * tho’ Authors feport, that 
there are other forts of it, lome of which bear yel- 
low Flowers, and others which bear red * but of 
thole we can fay nothing in this places 
III. An Obfervation. Some have called this 
Plant Pancratium flore Li Hi -, but this was a Mi- 
ftake. Others thought it to be a kind of Scylla^ 
and ufed it inftead of Squills in Tberiaca but this 
was a dangerous Error. Others, as Clufius faith* 
call’d it Hemerocallis, thinking it to be a Lilly *, and 
Clufius does thereupon call it Hemerocallis Valenti * 
na, but was wholly in the wrong : for it is neither 
Pancratium, nor Scylla, nor Lillium * but it is cer- 
tainly a kind of Daffodil , as the Form of Root* 
Leaf, Stalk and Flower demonftrate. 
IV. Obfervdt. 2. ’Tis true, Diofcorides will have 
Pancratium to be a kind of Scylla $ and fo it was 
called in his time, viz. Scylla radiee rubra * Which 
had a Leaf like a Lilly , but longer, and was ufed 
both with the fame Preparation and Quantity* and 
for the fame Difeafes that Scylla was ufed for, only 
that it was faid to be weaker. But beware of ufing 
of this Sea Baftard Daffodil by fuch a Miftake, be- 
caufe of its dangerous Effe&s, which ate faid to be 
deadly : for it is reported, that one, out of Malice* 
did before hand cut the Root of this Plant with the 
Knife which another was prefently after to cut his 
Meat withal , and that with an Intention to kill 
him by the Poifon thereof, with which the Knife 
was poifoned.- 
V. The Defcription. It hoi a large white but* 
bous Root , from which fpring feveral broad whitifh 
green Leaves, but not very long * among which rifes 
up a ft iff round Stalk, at the top whereof break out 
of a great round skinny Husk , five or fix Flowers * 
every one made fomewhat of the Fajhion of the Greater 
Baftard Rufh Daffodil, but greater, and wholly 
white * the fix Leaves being larger and longer than 
in the Junquilia or Rufh kind, and extending beyond 
the Trunk, are tipt with green at the point of each 
Leaf, and down the middle likew fe, on the backfide * 
The Trunk is longer, larger and wider open at the 
Mouth, cut in or indented at the brims or edges , and 
fmall at the bottom, with divers white Threads in the 
middle , and is very fweet. Under the Flower is d. 
round green Head, which grows very great , having 
within it, when it is ripe, flat and black Seed \ 
VI. The Places. It grows near the Sea fide in 
Italy, Spain and Frame, within the Straights , and 
for the molt part upon all the Levant Shore, and 
Iflands of the Mediterranean , but does not often 
flower in our colder Climates * but it profpers, and 
I faw it grow admirably well in fome parts of the 
Southern Carolina, and other parts of Florida. 
VII. The Times. It flowers towards the lattef 
end of Summer, viz. in Auguft and September.
