// flower than that , that it may very well be called 
Caryophyllus Hortenfis minor ^ but if we allow the 
Carnation in the former Chapter to be Caryophyllus 
Hortenfis maximus, then it follows from the fame 
reafon, that this muft be called Caryophyllus horten- 
fis major , as aforenamed , and in Greek it may be 
called KcttvbtpvMov n'nt&v ^(uv y The Greater Garden 
Clove, or Greater Gilliflovoer. 
II. The Kinds. Of the Gilliflovoer there are alfo 
many Kinds, Authors account about Thirty Four fe- ; 
veral Species, which, becaufe of their great number, 1 
and the immediate after repetition of their Names, 1 
we fhall forbear to enumerate them here, and give 
you their feveral Appellations, juft going before 
their fingular Defcriptions , and that in the follow- 
i per —a or 
III. The Defcriptions. 1. Caryophyllus Hortenfis 
major Flore pic no mini at 0 , The yel/owifh red Gilli- 
flower , called alfo Caryophyllus Silefiacus , The Si/e- 
flan Gilliflovoer , but it has been now fo long Planted 
in England , that it is become perfe&ly a Native of 
our own Country , fee its Defcription at large in 
Chap. 139. Sett. 6. aforegoing, which is alfo a ge- 
neral Defcription to all the following enumerated 
in this Chapter. 
IV. 2. Caryophyllus major Weftmonaflerienfls, The 
Gallant , or Wefim infer. Some would make this 
Flower to be two , one bigger than the other , o- 
thers again make it but one ^ it (hews at firft blow- 
ing open of the Flower, to be of a reafonable Size 
and Beauty, but after it has flood blown fome time 
it (hews fmaller and thinner , it is of a bright red 
Color, much ftriped and fpeckled with White. 
V. 3, Caryophyllus major BrftoUenfis Purpureus , 
The Briftol Blew or Purple. It has large green Leaves, 
fo large, that it would feem to bring forth a great- 
er Flower than it doth , yet the Flower is of an in- 
different Size, and very like unto the Ordinary Gra- 
nado Gilliflovoer , ftriped and flaked in the fame man- 
ner, but that the White of this is purer than that, 
3 nd the Purple is more light, and tending to a Blew ^ 
this Flower does not abide conftant, but changes in- 
to a Purple or Blufh. 
VI. 4. Caryophyllus major Brijiolienfls Carneus * 
The Briftol Blufh. It is very like the laft both in 
Leaf and Flower, the Color only fhews the differ- 
ence, which feldom varies, to be fpotted, or to 
change its Color. 
VJd. 7. Caryophyllus major Cant ij, The fair one of 
Kent , or Ruffling Robin. It is a very beautiful Flow- 
er, and almoft as large as the White Carnation , the 
Flower is white, thick poudered with Purple, in 
which the White has the Maftery by much, which 
makes it fo much the more pleafant and delettable. 
VIII. 6. Caryophyllus Silefiacus magnus, Caryophyl- 
lus fulvus magnus , The great Tavoney. It is for 
form of growing, in Leaf and flower altogether like 
unto the Ordinary Tavoney, the Flower only, ‘becaufe 
it is the faireft and greateft, m^kes the difference, 
as alfo that it is of a deep Scarlet Color. 
IX. 7. Caryophyllus fulvus variability The varia- 
ble Tavoney. There are feveral Tawnies, fome light- 
er fome fadder, either lefs or more double, fo as 
they are fcarcely to be numbred, all rifing from fow- 
ing the Seed of fome of them, befides the diverfity 
of other Colors, both fimpleand mixed, every Year 
and place yielding fome variety not feen before, which 
I leave to curious Spettators to give proper Names 
to, as they fhall fee fit. 
X. 8. Caryophyllus major Carneus variability The 
variable Blufh colored. Of this there are many forts, 
as the deep Blufh, the pale Blufh, the Infants Blufh, 
the great Blufh, and the Blufh inclining to a Red ; 
but the great Blufh is the faireft and molt double of 
all the other Blulhes, of which there are many, both 
fingle and double. 
XI. 9. Caryophyllus Ruber variability The variable 
Red. Of Reds there are fome varieties, but not fo 
many as of the other Colors , for as they are molt 
dead or deep Reds , and very few of a bright Red, 
or Stamel Color, fo neither Purple nor "White rife 
from this Seed, that any one has obferved •, they are 
either fingle, like Pinks, either ftriped or fpeckled j 
or more double, ftriped and fpeckled variably. 
XII. 1 o. Caryophyllus Heroine , diet us Eiegans , 
The Lady , called the Beautiful or Noble. This may 
compare for Beauty with n^ft of the Gilliflovoers, 
the Flower is very neat anflft, tho* fmall, with 
a fine fmall jag, and of a fin? white color on the 
under fide of all the Leaves, as alfo all the whole 
jag for a pretty compafs, and the bottom or middle 
E art of the Flower on the upper fide alfo, but each 
eaf is of a fine bright pale red color on the upper 
fide, from the edge to the middle, which mixture 
is wonderfully delettable. 
XIII. 1 1 . Caryophyllus major Regineus , The 
fffieens Gilliflovoer. It is a reafonable £tfr Flower, 
altho’ very common, and is ftriped Red and White, 
fome great and fome fmall, with long ltripes. 
XIV. 12. Caryophyllus major Carneus , The Blufh 
Gilliflovoer. It differs not much from the Red color- 
ed, or Stamel, as to its magnitude or form, but on- 
ly in the color of the Flower, which is Blufh. 
XV. 13. Caryophyllus Alb us Londincnfis opthnus 
major , The greater and beft London White Gilliflovo- 
er. It is admirable to look upon , grows upright, 
and very double •, the blades grow upright alio, not 
crawling on the Ground. 
XVI. 14. Caryophyllus Alb us Londinenfls vulga- 
rity The common White London Gilliflovoer, This is 
greater and whiter than the Common White Gill flow- 
er, and is indeed wholly of one color. 
XVII. 17. Caryophyllus major Dorobornienfis Ru- 
ber, The Red Dover. It is a reafonable large Gilli- 
flovoer, and conftant, being of a fair Red, thick pou- 
dered with white fpots, and fhews fomething like 
the Qmund Carnation.
