M A Y-L ILLY. 
F I f ames • This is an Herb not known to 
^he Gieeks, but may well enough be called 
by this Greek Name, Keivoy tuv ywa.yx.nuv ; in La- 
tine Lilium Convallium : fome will have it to be 
Lihum Vernum TkeophraJU h others Oenanthe Theo- 
phrajtf Callionymus Gefneri } Cacalia Loniceri and 
tphemerum non Let bale Luchfij • but they all of 
them, for the mod part, are miftaken in thofe 
Names. In Englijh we call it, Lilly Convally , Lil- 
ly of the Valley , and May- Lilly. 
H. The Kinds. Authors have given us two fpeci- 
al Rinds hereof, viz. 1 . Lihum Convallium fiore al- 
bo. The White Conval Lilly, or Lilly of the Val- 
ley, with white Flowers. 2. Lilium Convallium 
flare rubente. The Red Lilly Convally, or Lilly of 
the Valley, with red Flowers. 
The Defcr/ptions. 
ffl. The firft or White Conval Lilly, or Lilly 
of the Valley, with white Flowers. It has a fmall 
fiender, Jfringy Root, which runs far abroad under 
’be y round, creeping every way , with many fmall 
white fibres, and fpnnging up again in divers pla- 
ces. from this Root rife up together three or four 
Reaves, one inclofed within another, each of which 
when it is open, is long and broad, of a greyith 
green Color fomething refembling the Leaves of 
the W/ Ellebortne, or Small Wild White Hcllebor , 
at the tides whereof, and fometimes from the mid- 
SrL 0 * th *b up a fmall, thort, naked Foot- 
F an Hand breadth high, or fomewhat more, 
S ' V lts t0 P’ one above “Other, many fmall 
white Flowers, like little hollow Bottles, with o- 
f h ff econd i ° r Red Lilly Convally, or Lilly 
of the Valley, with red Flowers. This in its Root 
Leaves, State, flowers, Seed and manner of Grow- 
ing is exaWy like the other , and differs from that 
only in the Color of the Flowers ; for whereas thofe 
ate of a white Color, thefe are of a fine pale red 
Color, of a fweet Smell, but not altogether fo 
iweet as the former. 
J he T laces. The firft grows abundantly 
Wild in many places of England. Gerard fays it 
grows on Hampftead-Heath, not far from London in 
great plenty : alfo near to Lee in Effete, and upon 
Bujhy- Heath, about thirteen Miles from London- 
and in many other places. The fecond is a Stran- 
ger in England as to its Original ; but both of them 
( E t0r ,i he A r e / cellent Virtues) are nurfed up in our 
hnglijh Gardens. 
VI. The Times. They both flower in May, and 
£ 1CS are npe m Au S«ft “d September 
VII. Kota- Thefe Plants increafe wonderfully 
even too fail for the Bignefs of fome Gardens : they 
flourifh beft in the Shade, and in a Soil which is 
J? 1 l 00 ^ ° r a ™ ean between rich and poor : 
if the Earth is too rich, they many times rot and 
die, and lo come to nothing : in a meaner Ground 
they do better.
