it, but fmaller than any of the other Leaves. At 
the top a of the Stalk come forth many Flowers, 
fometimes three or four fcore, thick thruft, or con- 
fufedly fet together, and not thin or lparfedly one 
above another, as in the lelfer of this Kind or 
Mountain Lilly , in Cap. 435. Sett. 6. It has been 
fometimes alfo obferved in this Kind, that it has 
born many Flowers at three feveral places of the 
Stalk, one above another, which has made an ex- 
cellent Shew ^ each Flower whereof is pendulous, 
or hanging down, and each Leaf of the .'lower, 
turning up again, being thick or flefhy, of a ^jne 
delayed purple Color, fpotted with many blackil l 
or brownifh Spots, of a very pleafant fweet Sme„, 
which makes it the more acceptable. In the mid- 
dle of the Flower hangs down a Stile or Pointel, 
knobbed at the end with fix yellow Chives, tipt 
with loofe Pendents, of an Orient Red or Vermilion 
Color, which will eafily ftick like Duft upon any 
thing that touches them. The Heads or Seed-\ ef- 
fels are fmall and round, with fmall Edges, about 
them, wherein is contained flat brown Seed, like as 
in other Lillies , but lelfer. 
IX. The fixth , or Imperial Martagon not fpotted. 
This is a Species of the /aft Kind , which ps found hn 
J'ome Gardens . It is in its Root, Stalk, Leaves, 
Flowers, Seed, and Form of Growing, very like 
that, but its Flowers are without any Spots : the 
Leaves thereof and Stalk likewiie, are of a paler 
Color j but otherwife not differing. 
X. The P laces. The firft four were brought to 
us without doubt out of Turky , and places near a- 
bout Conftantinople ; but fome think them, efpeci- 
ally the firlt, to be Natives #i’ Perfia. The two 
laid come from feveral Countries of Germany , as 
Auftria , Uitngaria. , Stiria , Tirol , &c. but now are 
free Denizons of England , and Natives in our Gar- 
dens. 
XI. The Times. The firft four fpring out of the 
Ground about the end oi' February or beginning of 
March, and the Heads with the Seed are ripe in the 
end of May or beginning of June. The two laft 
flower about the latter end of June for the molt 
part, and yet they fpring out of the Ground before 
the other Martagon s or Mountain Lillies in Chap. 
435. aforegoing. 
XII. As to their Qualities, Natures, and Proper- 
ties, Authors have laid nothing •, but by their Taftes 
and other Criteria , they feem to have the Virtues 
of Our Common White and Orange-tawny Lillies.

III. The firft, cr Spotted Lilly or Martagon of 
Canada. It has a fmall fcaly Root, with many long 
fmall Fibres thereat, from whence rifes up a reafon- 
able great Stalk { almoft as high as any of the former 
Kinds, bearing at three or four Diftances many long 
and narrow green Leaves, but not fo many nor fo 
broad as fome others, having divers Ribs in them * 
from among the uppermoft Rundle of Leaves, break 
forth four or five Flowers together, each one ftand- 
ing on a long flender Foot-ftalk, being almoft as 
large as a Red Lilly , but a little bending down- 
wards, of a fair yellow Color, fpotted on the in- 
fide with feveral blackifh purple Spots or Strakes, 
having a middle Pointel and fix Chives, with Pen- 
dents on them. 
IV. Mr. Rea, in his Flora, deferibes it thus : The 
Root of this Stranger is J mailer, and the Stalk lower 
than any of the former Martagon’s : the green 
Leaves grow on the Stalk in Rundle s j and the Stalk 
bears four or five Flowers on long Foot-ftalks, in 
Form like a Red Lilly, hanging down their Heads, 
of a fair yellow' Color, with many black Spots on 
the infide, a Pointel, and fix Chives tipt with red 
Pendents. 
V. The fecond, or Virginian Lilly or Martagon. 
It has a clofe compared, round, fcaly , pale yellow 
Root, from the fides whereof, more frequently than 
the top, come forth the Stalks, about three Feet high, 
fet with fmall, f harp-pointed , wbitifh green Leaves 
in Rundles, bearing at the Head three, four, or more 
fomething large Flowers, turning back like that of 
Conftantmcple, of a Gold-yellow Color, With many 
brown Spots about the bottoms of the Flowers, 
with the Points or Ends of the Leaves that turn up, 
of a Scarlet or Red Color, and without Spots. It 
is a tender Plant, and muft be defended frorti Froft 
in Winter. There is another of this Kind, which 
bears more Flowers on a Stalk, and differs from the 
former, in that thefe are of pale Colors, but fpot- 
ted as the others are. 
VI. The Places. The firft was brought into 
France from Canada, and from thence to us. The 
fecond was brought by fome of our Merchants and 
Captains of Ships from fome of our Plantations in 
Virginia. 
VII. The Times. They flower about the end of 
June, and the Cods of Seed come to Ripenefs to- 
wards the end of July, or inAuguft. 
VIII. The Qualities, Specification, Natures, Pro- 
perties and Virtues, are unknown as to us ; fo that 
no more can be faid of them.
