Jacinth Oriental Winter Purple or Blew. 
fends forth green Leaves , ( which are in all ref pells 
like to the Ordinary Oriental Jacinths, but fmething 
narrower ) before Winter, and fometimes is in its 
Flower alio in the middle or begining of Winter, 
and is in form and color a plain White Oriental Ja- 
cinth , but fomewhat letter, differing in no other par- 
ticulars, but in the time of its Flowering, which is 
always certain to be long before the other Kinds. 
IV. The fecond. , or Purple Winter Oriental Ja- 
cinth. In its Root , Stalk , Leaf , and flower, it is 
like to, and Jhews it felf to be of the Stock or Kindred 
of Oriental Jacinths •, the difference of color in this 
Flower makes it to be diftinguifhed chiefly, . and it 
is, as the former, more early than the reft which fol- 
low i this feems to be the very felf fame Kind with 
the former, living that this has fine blewifh purple 
Flowers, whereas that has white. 
V. The third, or Greateft Oriental Jacinth. The 
Root of this Jacinth is ufually greater than any other 
of its Kind, and mofi commonly white on the out fide, 
from which rife up one or two great round Stalks, 
fpotted from within the Ground, with the lower 
part of the Leaves alfo upward to the middle of the 
Stalks, or rather higher, like unto the Stalks of 
Dragons, but darker, being fet among a number of 
broad, long, and fomewhat hollow green Leaves, al- 
moft as large as the Leaves of the White Lilly -, at 
the tops of the Stalks Hand more ftore of Flowers 
than in any other of this Kind, every Flower being as 
great as the greateft fort of Oriental Jacinths, end- 
ing in fix Leaves, which turn at the points, of a fair 
blewifh purple color, and all ftanding many times on 
one fide of the Stalks, and many times on both fides. 
VI. The fourth, or Ordinary Oriental Jacinth. It 
has a Root which is great, and white on the out fide, 
and oftentimes purplifh alfo , flat at the bottom and- 
fmall at the head-, it has many green Leaves, long, 
fomewhat broad, and hollow, from among which 
rifes up a long, green, round Stalk, befet from the 
middle thereof almoft with feveral Flowers, ftand- 
ing on both fides of the Stalks one above another 
unto the top, each of which next unto the Footftalk 
is long , hollow , round , and clofe , ending in fix 
fmall Leaves, laid open, and a little turning at the 
points, of a very fweet fmell •, the Colors of thefe 
Flowers are divers, for fome are pure white, with- 
out a (hew of any other color in them, another is al- 
moft white, having a lhew of blewnefs, efpecially at 
the brims and bottoms of the Flowers, others are 
again of a very faint blufh, tending towards a white, 
fome are of as deep a purple as a Violet, others of 
a purple, tending to rednefs, and fome fo pale a 
blew, as it were more white than blew^ after the 
Flowers are paft threefquare Heads appear, bearing 
round black Seed, great and filming •, this is called 
the Common Oriental Jacinth , becaufe it is now fo 
plentifully to be found in all Gardens, that it is not 
very much efteemed ^ of this Species are the three 
next following forts. 
VII. The fifth, or Purple Violet Oriental Jacinth. 
It is very much like the fourth Kind, but its Flowers 
are of a deep purplifh Violet color, having whitifh 
lines down the back of every Leaf of the Flower, 
which turn themfelves a little backwards at the 
points. 
VIII. T be fixth, or Oriental Jacinth whofe Flow- 
ers open all one way. This in its Root, Stalk, and 
Leaves, is like the fourth Species aforegoing, but in 
this it differs, viz. that its Flowers Hand and open 
all one way, and not on all fides, as feveral other 
Jacinths do, and are therefore herein like to the 
Great Zumbul Indi before deferibed. 
IX. The feventh, or Late Flowering Oriental Ja- 
cinth. This, which feems to be a Species alfo of the 
fourth Kind, Flowers later than-all the reft of them, 
and
