coming up, and of a lad green afterwards, hollow 
on the upper fide and round underneath, from among 
which rile up round, fmooth, weak Stalks, bearing 
at the top many fmall, heavy. Bottle-like Flowers, 
in (hape like to the Mufcari (in the following Chap- 
ter) but very thick thruft together, fmaller, and of 
a very dark or blackilh blew color, of a very ftrong

V. The fecond , or Greater dark Blew Colored 
Grape Flowered Jacinth. Tim Plant in its Root , 
heaves , Stalk , flowers , Color, and manner of grow- 
ing, is in all refpefts like unto the Leffer before de- 
ferred, and differs nothing from it but in the mag- 
nitude, this in its Stalk, Leaves, and Flowers, be- 
ing greater than them. 
VI. The third, or Sky Colored Grape Flowered 
Jacinth. The Root of this is whiter than the former, 
but does not increafe Jo much ns it, yet produces plen- 
ty enough of Plants ; it fprings up with fewer Leaves 
than the firft, and not reddilh, but green at its firft 
appearing •, the Leaves when they are full grown are 
long and hollow, like the firft, but greener, fhorter, 
and broader, Handing upright, and not lying along 
upon the Groped as they do ; the Flowers grow at 
the top of the Stalk, more fparfedly fet thereon, 
and not fo thick together, but like a thin Bunch of 
Grapes, and Bottle like, as the former, of a perfeft 
Blew, or Sky Color, every Flower having Lome 
white fpots about their brims , this has a very fweet 
fmell, yet nothing like the foregoing. 
VII. The fourth, or Branched Grape Flowered Ja- 
cinth. This is a true Species of the former Kinds, 
and is found to grow with many Branches of f lowers, 
breaking out from the bides ot the greater Stalks or 
Branches •, the Leaves, as is all the reft of this Plant, 
are greater than the former. 
VIII. Ihe fifth, or White Grape Flowered Jacinth. 
It hat a bulbous Root, at the others, its Leaves are 
green, but a little whiter than the Blew or Sky Co- 
lored Jacinth; its Flowers are purely white, and 
alike fparfedly fet on the Stalks, but a little lower 
and fmaller than it ; in all other things there is no 
difference. 
fhefixth, or Blufh Grape Flowered Jacinth. 
t he bulbous Root of this Grape Flower is greater 
than either oj the Roots of the Sky Colored or White 
aforegoing, and hat feldom any J mall Roots or Off-fets 
as the Others have ; its Leaves alfo are larger, and 
fomewhat broader, the Flowers are of a pale, or 
bleak blulh Color out of a white, and are a little 
larger, and grow a little higher, and fuller of Flow- 
ers than the While. 
The Places. They ate Natives of many pla- 
ces ot Germany and Hungary, and grow a'lfo in 
Spam , and on Alount Baldus in Italy, and near filar- 
bone in Prance, about the borders of Fields, with us 
they grow only in Gardens. 
■ r J Times. They Flower from the begin- 
ingot March, and fometimes fooner if the Weather 
^smild, and continue Flowering till the begining of

III. The Defcriptions. The firft, or Greater Yel- 
low Musked Grape Flowered Jacinth. It has a Root 
which is long, round, and very thick, and white on 
the outfide, with a little woollmcfs thereon when bro- 
ken, and full of a flimy juice, to which are adjoined 
thick, fat, and long f ibres, which perijh not, as in 
nto/l of the other Jacinths, and therefore need not to 
be often removed, as fome of the other forts are : This 
Musked Jacinth, or Grape flower, has five or fix 
heaves fpread upon the Ground in two or three 
Heads, which at the firft budding or fhooring forth 
out of the Ground are of a reddilh purple color, and 
afterwards become long, thick, hollow, or guttered 
on the' upper fide, of a whitifli green color, and 
round, and dark colored underneath; in the middle 
of thefe Heads of Leaves rife up one ot two hollow, 
weak, brownifh Stalks, fometimes lying on the’ 
Ground with the weight of the Flowers, (but efpe- 
cially of the Seed) yet for the mod part Handing up- 
right when they are laden towards the top with ma- 
ny Bottle like Flowers, which at their firlf appear- 
ing, and until the Flowers begin to blow open, are 
of a brown red color, and when they are blown of a
