but if one may be allowed to judge of them, by the 
ufual Criterions, then we mult allow them to be 
much of the Nature and Quality of the m lire and 
Orange Lillies before-defcribed, whofe Virtues in 
their refpe£tive Chapters aforegoing are at large

The Defcriptions. 
III. The firft, or Red Turky Lilly, or Red Mar- 
tagon of Conflantinople. It has a great, thick, yellow, 
fcaly Root , which fends out early in the Spring, 
before many other Lillies, a round brownijh 
Stalk, befet with many fair green Leaves confufedly 
thereon, but not fo broad as the Common White 
Lilly ; upon the top of which Hands one, two, or 
three, or more Flowers, which hang down then 
Heads, and turn up their Leaves again, of an ex- 
cellent Red Crimfon Color, and fometimes paler, 
having a long Pointel in the middle, compaffed 
with fix whitilh Chives, tipt with loofe yellow 
I Pendents, of a pretty good Smell, but fomething 
faint. After the Flowers, come Heads or Cods or 
Seed, like to other Lillies, but greater. It is a fair 
beautiful Flower, and was at firff very much efteem- 
ed with us, and yet notwithftanding its Increule and 
Plenty, deferves its Commendations ; for its being 
fo common every where, and fo well known, does 
not at all diminilh from its Excellency. 
IV. The fecond, or Red-fpotted Turky Lilly, or 
Red-fpotted Martagon of Conflantinople. This is 
another of the former Kind, and grows fomething 
greater and higher , with a larger Blower, and of a 
deeper Color, fpotted with feveral black Spots or 
Strakes and Lines, as are to be feen in the Mountain 
Lillies, and in fome other Kinds, which is not fo in 
the former but juft now defcribed, that having no 
Ihew of Spots at all. This whole Plant is rare, and 
of much more Beauty than the former. 
V. The third, or Purplilh Sanguine-colored Tur- 
ky Lilly. It has a large Lilly like Root, from which 
arifes a Stalk a Foot and half or two Feet high, let 
confufedly with Leaves, like the full above : the 
Flowers alfo refemble thofe before defcribed in Sell. 
3. but are ufually more in Number, and of a pur- 
plilh Sanguine Color. 
VI. The fourth, or Light Red Turky or Byzan- 
tine Lilly. This is very like the laft in Root, Stalk, 
Leaves, Flowers, and Seed, faving, that in the Co- 
lor of the Flowers, thefe are of a lighter Red than 
thofe firft defcribed in Sell. 3. aforegoing : the 
Leaves and Stalks alfo, as Clufiws obferves, are of a 
lighter green Color. 
VII. The fifth, or Vermillion many-flowered 
Turky or Byzantine Lilly. This is alfo a Variety of 
the firft, but according to Clufius, the Difference is 
in thefe things, that the Flowers grow equally from 
the top of the Stalk, and the middle Flower rifes 
higher than any of the reft, and fometimes confifts 
of twelve Leaves, as it were a Twin, which thofe 
who obferve it, will find. 
VIII. The fixth , or Bright Red Martagon of 
Hungary. T his feems to be a Species of the firft, 
( tho ’ it may grow in Hungary) by reafon of theLike- 
nefs both of Leaf and Flower thereunto. Its Root 
is very like the fame, but the Leaves are fomething 
larger, and more fperfedlv fet upon the Stalks, elfe 
not much unlike. The Flowers bend down, and 
turn up their Leaves again, but fomewhat larger, 
and of a bright Red, tending to an Orange Color, 
viz. fomewhat yellowifli, and not Crimfon, like 
the other. 
IX. The Places. The firft, fecond, third, fourth, 
and fifth, grow naturally in Turky, ar or near Con- 
liantinop/e, formerly called Byzantinum : the laft 
on the Mountains or Hills of Hungary , but now 
they are made free Denizons in our Enghjh Gar- 
dens. 
X. The Times. They generally flower in June , 
when other Lillies do, fome earlier, others later, 
and continue flowering till the beginning of July. 
XI. T heir Qualities, Specification, Preparations, 
and Virtues, have not been obferved in any Author, 
yet they all feem to be of the Nature and Properties 
of the Common White and Red Lilly.
