withttanding its fo continuing for feveral Years, 
will yet upon Tranfplanting redire ad ingenium , viz. 
quickly come or recurn to its old Form again. 
VI. The fourth , or Greater bulbed Red Lilly. 
It rifes up with a firong high Stalk , and n the mojl 
common Kind of the Lillies bearing Bulbs. It has 
many Leaves about the Stalk, but not of fo fad a 
green Color as the following, or fome others. The 
Flowers are of as pale reddifli yellow Color as any 
of the following, and come nearelt to the Color of 
the firit, or Gulden or Orange-tawncy Lilly. This 
is more plentiful in Bulbs among the upperirioft 
Leaves, than any of the others * as alfo in fhooting 
forth Fibres or Strings, to encreafe the Roots under 
Ground. 
VII. The fifth , or Dwarf or LefTer bulbed Lilly. 
It has a white bulbed fcaly Root , like other Lillies, 
and bears Bulbs on its Stalk , tabid) rifes up J mall 
and round , not much higher than the J'econd , or 
Dwarf Lilly afore-defcribed , Jceming to be edged , 
an t having many Leaves thereon , of a Jad green Co- 
lor, fel about it , thru]} clofe together. The green 
Heads for Flowers have a kind of Woolinefs on 
them, before the Flowers begin to open, and be- 
tween thel'e FlSds of Flowers, as alio under them, 
and among the uppermoit Leaves, appear lmall 
Bulbs or Heads, which being ripe, if put into the 
Ground, or if they fall of rhemfelves, will fhoot 
forth Leaves, and bear Flowers, within two or three 
Years, like the Maternal or Mother Riant -, and fo 
will the Bulbs of that juft before-defcribed, and of 
thefe other which immediately follow. The Flow- 
ers of this Lilly are of a fair Gold-yellow Color, 
lhadowed over with a fhew of Purple, but not fo 
red as the firit, or the next to be defcribed. This 
Lilly (hoots Strings under Ground, like as the lalt 
Red Lilly will do 2lfo, at which will grow white 
bulbed Roots, like the Roots of the Maternal or 
Mother Riant , and fo thereby, in a fhort time, en- 
creafes it leif. 
VIII. The fixth , or Fiery-red bulbed Lilly. This 
third Bulbed Lilly rifes up with its Stalk as high as 
any of thefe Lillies, carrying many long and narrow 
dark green Leaves about it, and at the top many 
fair red Flowers, as large or larger than any of the 
former, and of a deeper red Color, with Spots on 
them likewife, having greater Bulbs growing about 
the top of the Stalk, and among the Flowers, than 
any elfe. 
IX. Mr. Rea defcribes it thus : The Fiery-red 
bulbed Lilly rifes up from a great fcaly Root , ( as 
all the Lillies have) with a firong tall Stalk , Jet 
with many firong dark green Leaves , and at the top 
adorned with many large P lowers, each compofed of 
fix broad thick Leaves, of a fiery-red Color at the 
tops, and towards the bottoms of an Orange Color, 
xvi to f mall black Specks, bearing among the blowers, 
and Jong the Stalk, divers Bulbs, like little Roots, 
which being Jet, in time, will bring forth blowers, 
like unto thofe of the Original. 
X. Lhe J eventb , or Fiery-red double Lilly not 
bulbed. This Lilly is without Bulbs ■, and the chief 
Difference thereof docs confifi in the blower, which 
is compofed of many Leaves, as if many Flowers 
went to make one, when it thus bearerh, which is 
but accidental, as the former double Lilly is laid 
to be. 
XL Mr. Rea thus defcribes it : This Double Red 
Lilly if like unto the former in Root, Stalk and 
Leaves, but without Bulbs, not fo big, nor of fo dark 
a green Color. It commonly bears many Orange- 
colored Jingle blowers on one Stalk, with many f mall 
brown Specks on the infides thereof, and fometimes 
but one fair double blower, as if the Leaves of many 
b'lozvers were itniicd in one, which altho' it be but 
accidental, yet it happens in this Kind more fre- 
quently than in any other Red Lilly *, for if you have 
many Roots of this fort , you will always have fome. 
double blowers , and many more in fome Tears than 1 
in others . 
XII. The Places. The Native places of the 
Growth of thefe Lillies, are on the Mountains, and 
in the Vailies near them in Italy, as Matthiolus 
fays, and in many Countries of Germany, as Au- 
firia, Bohemia , Hungaria, Stiria, as Cl u ft us and o- 
thers report-, and with us they grow almoft in all 
Gardens, where they admirably thrive. 
XIII. lhe Times. Thefe Red or Tellow Lillies 
flower a little before the White Lillies, and fome- 
times together with them ; but they flower for the 
moll part in June •, but the fecond of them, or 
Dwarf Red Lilly, is the earlieft of all the reft. 
XIV. The Qualities. The Flowers of the Red 
Lilly are hot in the firft Degree, and temperate in 
refpeft toDrynefs orMoifture, of a thin and fubtil 
Subftance. The Roots and Leaves are hot and dry 
in the firft Degree, Difcuflive, Digeftive, and Ab- 
Iterfive, Vulnerary, and Alexipharmick ^ and indeed 
thefe Plants have almoft all the fame Qualities and 
Virtues of the White Lilly , but not all out fo effi- 
cacious or powerful.
