IV. The fecond , or Indian Moly. JVr Ite « 
white and great , covered faith a dark Coat or Skin , 
Ivhicb encreafes but little under Ground. Ic has 
fitch like Leaves as the former, but. fhorter and 
broader. In the middle' of- which riles up a fhort 
weak Stalk alnloit hat, not having any Flowers 
upon ir, but a Chiller or Head of greenifh, fcaly 
Bulbs, inclofed at the firft in a large thin Skin, 
which being open, every Bulb lhews ic felf, Hand- 
ing clofe one unto another upon its foot Stalk, of 
the bignefsof an Acorn , which being planted will 
be a Plant of the fame Kind : but befides that 
Head, it bears final 1 Bulbs- above the Ground, at 
the bottom of the Leaves, next the Stalk, like un- 
to the former. 
V. The third , or Firlt Bulbed Hungarian Moly. 
Its Root is not great, but white on the out fide , very 
like unto the Root of Serpents Moly, defcribcciat 
Seff. VII. following , increafmg much under Ground, 
and fuelling frong. It has three or four broad and 
long, green Leaves, folded together at the firft, 
which after Open themfelves, and are carried up 
with the Stalk, Handing thereon, one above another, 
which is not above a Foot high. At the top of 
which does grow a few fad reddifh Bulbs, and be- 
tween them long foot Stalks, bearing Flowers of a 
pale purplifh color. After which Flowers, black 
Seed enfue enclofed in roundifh Heads. 
VI. The fourth , or Second Bulbed Hungarian 
Moly. Its Root is like the former , and covered 
with a blackifh purple Coat or Skin. It has narrow- 
er green Leaves than the former : the Stalk is about 
the fame height, at the top a great Clufter of fmall 
green Bulbs , which after turn of a darker color : 
from among which come forth long foot Stalks, on 
which grow purplifh Flowers. 
VII. The fifth , or Serpents Moly. Its Root is 
fmall \ round , and whitijh , encreafing into a number 
of fmall Roots , no bigger than Peafe, round about 
the greater Root. This Plant is of tl^e Species of 
the Bulbed Molys , but of greater Beauty and De- 
light ^ becaufe the Bulbs on the Heads of the fmall 
Stalks, are redder, and more pleafant to behold. 
The Stalk is lower, and its graftie winding Leaves, 
which twine themfelves like Serpents ( whence 
came its Name) are fmaller, and of a whiter green 
color. It beats among its Bulbs purplifli Flowers 
alfo, but more Beautiful, whofe fmell is nothing 
fo flrong as fome others. 
VIII. The fixth , or Three cornered Moly. Its 
Root is white on the out fide , and very like the yel- 
low Moly. It has four or five long, and fomething 
broad, pale, green Leaves, Hat on the upper fide, 
and with a ridge down the back of the Leaf, which 
makes it feem three fquafe or cornered. The Stalk 
rifes up a Foot and half high or better, and is tri- 
angular or three cornered alfo, bearing at the top, 
out of a fhining Husk, feveral white Flowers fome- 
thing large and longe, almoft Bell fafhion, with 
ftripes of green down the middle of every Leaf 
and a few Chives tipt with yellow in the middle 
about the Head ; wherein , when it is tipe , is 
enclofed fmall black Seed. Both Root, Leaf, 
and Flower have a Gar lick frtiell, but not very 
Hrong. 
IX. The f eve nth , or Daffodil Leav’d Moly. Its 
Root is fometimes knobbed , but more often bulbed , 
having in the Knobs fome marks of the old Stalks 
to be feen in them , and of a Garlick fmell , by which 
the Riant may be known. It hqs many long, nar- 
row, and Hat, green Leaves, very like unto the 
Leaves of a Daffodil (from whence came its Name) 
or rather of the early greater Leucoium Bulbofum , 
or Bulbed Violet. From among which rife up two 
or three Stalks fometimes, each of them about 
721 
a Foot and half high, bearing each at top (as all 
the Molys do) a number of fmall, purplifh Flowers, 
enclofed in a (hilling Husk, which abide not long, 
but quickly fade ; after which comes black Seed, 
like as in the others. 
X. The eighth , or Yellow broad Leav’d Moly. 
Its Root is whit iff, two for the mo ft part joined, 
together , which quickly encreafes and f melts with a 
ft rang Garlick like feent , at both Blowers and heaves 
alfo do. It has but one long, and broad Leaf, when 
it bears no Flowers *, but when it bears Flowers, it 
has two long, broad Leaves, yet one always longer, 
and broader than the other, which are both of the 
fame color, and near of the bignefs of a Tulip 
Leaf. Between thole Leaves grows a (lender Stalk, 
bearing at the top a Tuft or Umble of yellow 
Flowers out of a skinny Husk, which parts three 
ways, made of fix Leaves apiece, laid open like a 
Star, with a greenifii back, .or out fide, and with 
fome yellow Threads ih the middle, after which 
follows black Seed, like as in the others. 
XL The ninth , or Purple Mountain Moly. It 
has a Root which is whitijh , of a flrong Garlick 
fmell, but quickly periffes with the extremity of 
our cold Winters, which it will not endure without 
defence. It has two or three Leaves, a little like 
the former Yellow Moly, but not fo broad, nor fo 
white. The Stalk ha§ not fo many Flowers 
thereon , but more fparingly , and of dull purple 
color. 
XII. The tenth , or Purple, broad Leav’d Spanifli 
Moly. Its Root is fmall,- and bulbous or round, 
with many fibres adjoining, from which other fmall 
Bulbs ffoot. Ic has two broad, and very long, 
green Leaves, like unto the Yellow Moly, at Sell. 
X. above $ but in this they encompafs one another 
at their bottoms j between which rifes up a flrong 
round Stalk, two Feet or more high , bearing at 
the top out of a thin Husk , a great many fair , 
large Flowers, upon long foot Stalks, confiding of 
fix Leaves apiece , fpread open like a Star, of a 
fine diluted purple or blu(h color , with feveral 
Threads of the fame color, tipt with yellow. Hand- 
ing about the middle Head : between the Stalk and 
the bottom of the Leaves, fome fmall Bulbs grow, 
which being planted, will foon Fpring and encreafe. 
Neither the Root, Leaf, nor Flower, have any 
Garlick like fmell in them. 
XIII. The eleventh, or Purple Naples Moly. 
Its Root is white , round , and bulbous , quickly 
encreafing at the other Molys do-, and has a 
more Garlick like fmell than the other parts of 
the Riant. It has three or four fmall green 
Leaves, growing upon the Stalk , after its fpring- 
ing up, which bears a round Head of fine pur- 
ple Flowers, made of fix Leaves apiece, but fo 
clofing together at the edge, that they feem like 
unto fmall Cups, never laying themfelves open as 
the others do. 
XIV. The twelfth, or Silver Cup’d Spanifh 
Moly. Its Root is fmall and round, white , and 
in a manner iranf parent, at lea ft fo ffining as if 
it were fo -, and increafes nothing fo much as many 
of the other forts. It has two or three very long 
Rufh like Leaves, which rife up with the Stalk, or 
rather dye away when the Stalk is- rifen up, to be 
about three Feet or more high, bearing a great Head 
of Flowers, Handing dole at the firft, but after- 
wards fpreading much one from another, every 
Flower Handing upon a long foot Stalk, being of 
a white Silver color, with flripes or lines on every 
fide, and (haped fmall and hollow like a Box or 
Cup. The Seed has icarcely been obferved with us, 
becaufe it Flowers fo late, that the Winter hinders 
it for the mofl parr . from coming to perfe&iotf.
