IX. 6. Caryophyllus maxi unis Incarnadinus Gal- 
kins, 1 he bench Carnation, It is very like to the 
P bite Carnation , but that it lias more Specks or 
Spots, and fewer Stripes or Flakes of White in the 
Red, which has the Mattery of the White. 
X 7. Caryophyllus maximus Incarnadinus Gran- 
dis , The Ground Carnation. ’ It is almolt like to the 
Grand or Old Englifh Carnation defcribed in Chap. 
1 39. Seif. 5. aforegoing, it is a thick Flower, but 
fpreads not its Leaves abroad as others do, having 
the middle Sanding higher than the outward Leaves, 
and turning up their brims or edges , and is a fad 
Flower, with few Specks or Stripes in it-, it is very 
fubjeit to break its Husk or Pods, fo that the Flow- 
er ieldom comes fair and right * the green Leaves are 
as great as the Hub, or Lu/nbard Red. 
XL 8. Caryophyllus maxim us Cryftallinus, The Cry- 
ftal, or Cry/ial/ine. It is a very delicate Flower 
when it is well marked , but it is inconftant in the 
marks, being fometimes more ttriped with White 
and Crimfon Red, and fometimes lefs, or little or 
nothing at all, and changing fometimes to be wholly 
red, or wholly blulh. 
XII. 9. Caryophyllus maximus Flore Rubro , The 
Red Cryftal. The Red hereof, which is changed, is 
the molt Orient Flower of all other Red Gillifiowers , 
becaufe it is both the greateft, as coming from the 
Cryftal, as alfo, that the Red hereof is a molt excel- 
lent Crimfon. 
XIII. 10. Caryophyllus maximus diffus fragrans , 
The fragrant. It is a fair Flower, and thought to 
come from the Cryftal , being as large, but of a blufh 
red color, fpotted with fmall fpecks, no bigger than 
Pin points, but not fo thick as in the Rage ant. 
XIV. 11. Caryophyllus maximus Sub audio us vari- 
us , The ftriped Savoy. It is for form and bignefs 
equal with the Cryftal, or White Carnation , but as 
inconftant as eithef of them, changing into Red or 
Blufh } fo that few Branches with Flowers contain 
their true mixtures, which are a whitifh blufh, fair- 
ly ttriped with a Crimfon Red Color, thick and 
fhort, with feme loots alfo among them. 
XV. 12. Caryophyllus maximus Subaudicus Car - 
neus, The Blufh , or Flejh Colored Savoy. It is the 
fame with the former, the fame Root of the ftriped 
SavcjL as aforefaid, yielding one fide or part, whofe 
Flovy^rs will be wholly blufh, or having fome fmall 
Ipots, or fometimes few or none in them. 
XVI. 1?. Caryophyllus maximus Subaudicus ruber. 
The red Savoy. It is like the blufh when { the color 
of the Flower is wholly red, without the mi-xtion 
of any Stripes or Spots , and fo abides long, yet it 
is fometimes feen, that the lame fide or part, or Root, 
being feparate from thefirft or Mother Plant, will 
give ttriped and well marked Flowers again. 
XVII. 14. Caryophyllus maximus Oxonienfis, The 
Oxford Carnation. It is very like to the French Car- 
nation, as well for form as largenefs and color, but 
that this is of a fadder red color, fo finely Msfbled 
with White thereon, that the Red having the Mattery, 
it fhevvs it like a very fad Flower, not having any 
Flakes or Stripes at all in it. 
XVIII. 1 y. Caryophyllus maximus Regius, five Bri- 
ll oli nr nfts major , The Kings Carnation, or Ordinary 
Brijtol. It is a reasonable gtjeat Flower, deeply jag- 
ged, of a fad red color, very finally ftriped and l'peck- 
led with White j fome of the Leaves of the Flower 
bn the one fide will turn up their brims or edges j 
the green Leaf in this is very large. 
XIX. 16. Caryophyllus maximus Granatenfis 
The gr M eft Granado. It is a very fair large Flow- 
er, bigger than the Cryflal, and almott as big as the 
Blew halo, it is almott equally divided, and ftriped 
with Purple and White, but the Purple is fadder 
than in the" Ordinary Grahido Gillifiower , elfe it 
might be laid to be the fame, but greater, leveral 
have taken this Flower to be the Grand Pere, but 
the difference will manifettly appear in the deferip- 
tion of the next Flower. 
XX. 17. Caryophyllus maximus dill us Camber fine. 
The Cam be /fine. It is a fair great Flower, red co- 
lored, and well marked or ttriped with White, fome- 
what like unto a Savoy , as fome fay , but that the 
Red is not Crimfon, as the Savoy is ^ or fomething 
like to the Dainty, as others fay, but not fo gallant 
and fweet a form j the Leaves of the Flowers arc 
many, cluttering together, without any due form of 
Spreading. 
XXI. 1 8 . Caryophyllus maximus diltus Gran Pere . 
The Grand Pere. It is a fair great Flower , and 
.Iweet enough for the form, but of no great beauty 
for Color, becaufe, although it is ttriped Red and 
White, like the Queens Gillifiower, yet the Red is 
fo fad, that it takes away all the pleafantnefs of the 
Flower. 
XXII. 19. Caryophyllus maximus Longobardicus 
ruber. The great Lombard red. It is a great fad red 
Flower, fo double and thick of Leaves, that it moff 
commonly breaks its Husk or Pod, and feldom fhews 
or gives one Flower of twenty perfeft * the Blades 
or green Leaves^re as large as the Hulo.

greateft Englifh Carnation , or Old Carnation. It is 
already defcribed at large in Chap. 139. Se£L 5. a- 
foregoing of this Book , and is the very Head and 
Principal , as well as the greateft and largeft of all 
the Carnations that are yet known, and to the place 
now cited I refer you ; the Defcription of this is ge- 
neral, and ferves to all the nineteen afore enumera- 
ted. 
XXIV. The Places. Thefe all of them are only 
Garden Plants, and therefore are under the conftant 
care of Curious and Diligent Florifts -, they are many 
times nurfed up. in Pots,/ that they may be removed 
out of the cold. 
XXV. The Times. They Flower about the end 
of June, and through all July, unlefs the Seafon is 
very hot 5i but if the Weather is temperate, they 
fometimes continue Flowering till the end of Au- 
guft, or later. 
XX VL . The Qualities, Specification, Preparations, 
and Virtues , are the fame with thofe of the Clave- 
gillifiower, of which we have Treated at large in 
Chap. 139. from Seft. 9. to Se&. 20. and to that

1 / | Vi/ E Nantes. As we laid of the Great Car- 
X nation Gillifiower in the laft Chapter, fo we 
fay of this, that it was a Plant wholly unknown to 
the Greeks, though from the Latin Name a Greek 
Name, (and very proper in the Language) may eafi- 
ly be derived ^ we call it in Latin Caryophyllus Hor- 
tenfis major-, I know that in Chap. 139. Se£L 3. a- 
foregoing we have called this Gillifiower Caryophyl- 
lus minor , that is, accounting the Great Carnation 
in the laft Chapter to be the Greater Gillifiower , 
viz. Caryophyllus Hortenfis major , it follows from 
the reafon of the Name, that this being a lelfer Gil- 
lifiower
