Chap. 394. TLnglijb Herbs, 
lemble the Grape flowered Jacinths juft above na- 
med than the Hair flowered Jacinths which follow, 
and which Name it beats for that it has no Hairs or 
Threads at the top of the Stalk, or fides, as they 
have; but becaufe Authors have given it this Name 
we thought not fit to change it, and therefore have 
put it into the Claffis of Haired Jacinths , as fome 
others have done. 
Jacinth Haired Fair White , or Turkey. 
IV. The fecond , or Turky Fair Haired Jacinth. It 
has a bulbous Root , like the former , but it is bigger, 
and larger alfo in its Leaf and flower, and bears 
greater ftore of Flowers on the head of the Stalk ; 
the lower Flowers, altho’ they have fliort Stalks at 
their lirlt flowering, yet afterwards the Stalks grow 
longer, and thofe which are lower Hand out farther 
than thofe which are higheft, whofe footftalks are 
Ihort, and almoft clofe to the Stem, and of a more 
perfect Purple than any below, which are of a dusky, 
greenilh, Purple Color; the whole Stalk of Flow- 
ers does fometimes feem like a Pyramis, broad be- 
low and fmall above, yet neither of thefe Jacinths 
have any Threads at the tops of the Stalks, as the 
others following have ; this Jacinth came from Con- 
stantinople, and is fomething like to that before de- 
fcribed, faving that it is every way bigger. 
V. The third, or Great Purple Fair Haired Jacinth. 
It has a great bulbed white Root, with fome reinefs on 
the out fide-, it is a Fair Haired Jacinth , whofe 
Leaves are fofter, longer, broader, and lefs hollow 
than the former, lying for the moft part upon the 
Ground ; the Stalk rifes up from amidft the Leaves, 
being ftronger , higher , and bearing a greater and 
longer Head of Flowers alfo than they ; the Flowers 
of this Hand not upon fuch very long Footftalks, but 
are Ihorter below, and clofe almoft to the Stalk a- 
bove, having many bright, purplifh, blew Threads, 
growing higheft above the Flowers, as it were in a 
buftt together, every one of thefe Threads having a 
little Head at its end, fomewhat like unto one of 
the Flowers, but much fmaller ; the reft of the Flow- 
ers below this Bulh are of a fadder or deader Purple, 
and not of fo bright a Color, and the loweft worft 
of all, rather inclining to a green, like unto the laft 
Turky Kind; the whole Stalk with the Flowers up- 
on it does fomewhat refemble a long Purfe Taffel, 
and therefore feveral Perfons have fo Named it; the 
Heads and "Seeds are like to that juft aforegoing, but 
greater. 
VI. The fourth, or Fair Haired Branched Jacinth. 
Its Root is greater andjhorter than that of the next , 
and encreafes / after ; the Leaves hereof are broader, 
Ihorter, and greener than of the laft, not lying fo 
weakly on the Ground, but Handing fomething more 
upright; the Stalk rifes up as high as the former, 
but branched out on every fide into many Tufts of 
Threads, with Knops, as it were Heads of Flo.', ers, 
at the ends of them, like unto the Head of Threads 
at the top of the former Jacinth, but of a little dark- 
er, and not fo fair a blewilh purple color; this Ja- 
cinth does fometimes refemble the next Curl'd Hair'd. 
Jacinth, but that the Branches are not fo fairly com- 
pofed altogether of curled Threads, nor of lb excel- 
lent a fair Purple, or Dove Color, bur of a much 
more dusky hue. 
VII. The fifth, or Fair Curl’d Hair’d Jacinth. It 
has a bulbous Root, not fo great as the laft, but white 
on the out fide ; it is an admirable Jacinth , and rifes 
up with three or four Leaves, fomething like unto 
the Leaves of the Mjtsked Grape Flowered Jacinth, 
but letter, from between which Leaves rifes up the 
Stalk, about a Foot high, or fomewhat more, bear- 
ing at the top a Bulh or Tuft ot Flowers, which at 
the firft appearing is like unto a Cone, or Pine- Apple, 
and afterwards opening it lelf fpreads into many 
Branches, yet ftill retaining the form of a Pyrames, 
being broad fprejd below and narrow above; each 
of thefe Branches are again divided into many Tufts 
of Threads or Strings, twitted or curled at the ends, 
and of an excellent Purple or Dove Colo-, both 
Stalks and Hairs; this continues a great while in its 
beauty, but afterwards all thefe Flowers (it you will 
fo call them) do fall away without any Seed at ail, 
fpending it felf as it were in its abundance of Flow- 
ers. 
VIII. The Places. The two firft have been fenc 
to us from Conftantinople, the third is found wild in 
many places of Europe, as well in Germany as in 
Italy ; the native places of the two laft are as yet 
unknown; they all grow and are nurfed up with us 
in Gardens only. 
IX. The Times. The three firft Species do Flow- 
er in April, the two laft Kinds in May.
