Fafque Flower j 
IV. The feccnd , 0/- Red Pafque Flower. This 
Plant in its Roots, Leaves , Stalks, and Seeds , df 
aljo in its manner of groining, differs not from that 
before defer ibed, faving , 1 . fhat in this * /fo Leaves 
are longer and much more finely cut. 2. That the 
Flower is fomething /mailer but with longer Leaves, 
which are of a bright red color , whereas the former 
was of a purple color. 
V. The third, or Yellow Pafque Flower, //, 
£00/ r//77j- deep into the Earth, of about the thick - 
nefs of a Mans Finger. Its Leaves are cut and di- 
vided, very like unto the Leaves of the firfi Kind, 
but fomewhat more hairy , green on the upper fide, 
and hairy underneath. The Stalk is roitnd and 
hoary, the middle whereof is befet with fame fmall 
Leaves, as in the others 5 from among which r'tfes 
up the Stalk of the Flower, confifiing of fix Leaves, 
of a very fair yellow color on the infide , and of a 
hoary pale yellow on the outfi.de : after which fol- 
lows fucb a Knob or Head of hairy Thrums as in 
the former. 
VI. The fourth , or White Pafque Flower. Its 
Root is black, and long, running deep into the 
Earth , having at its top a Head or Tuft of Hair , 
fuel) as grow at the top of the Root of the dr fit 
Kind. From among which /firing up many Leaves 
which are winged , and j landing upon long foot 
Stalks : they are divided as it were into three 
Wings or Parts: and each part finely cut and 
divided, like unto the Danilh Pafque Flower 
following, but fomething harder in handling, 
greenifh on the upper fide, and fomething gray un- 
derneath, and very hairy all over. From among 
thefe Lenves rife up the Stalks, befet at the middle 
of them with three Leaves, as finely cut and divi- 
ded as thofe below : from above which grows the 
. Flower, being f mailer, and not fo pendulous a s the 
former •, but in like manner confifiing of fix Leaves 
apiece, of a Snow white color on the infide , and a 
little browner on the outfide, with many yellow 
Thrums in the middle. After the Flower is pafi, 
there comes forth fucb a like hoary Head, CQjnpofed 
as it were of many Hairs, each waereof has a fmall 
Seed , to which it is fafined, like as the former 
Pafque Flowers have. 
VII. The fifth , or Danifh Pafque Flower. This 
in ref pell to its Root, Leaves, Stalks , Flowers , 
Seed, and form of growing, is very like to the firfi, or 
Englilh Kind, before deferibed, and differs from it 
only in thefe ref petts, 1. That in its Root, Leaf and 
Flower, it is larger. 2. That the Flower is of a 
fairer purple color, and not fo deep. 3. That fome- 
times, and in fome Plants the Flower is found white . 
4. 2 hat it will better abide with us, and be more 
eafdy manured than our Englilh Kind, thd ours is 
a Native of our Country, and grows Wild therein, in 
many places. 
VIII. The fixth , or double Danifh Pafque 
Flower. This in its Roots, Leaves , Stalks, Flow- 
ers, Heads , Seeds, and manner of growing , differs 
nothing from that lafi deferibed, faving in the dupli- 
city of the Flowers : for whereas the former Flower 
was fingle, this is double Flowered, having two 
rows of Leaves, the one within the other. 
IX. The Places. The firft is found in many 
places of England, upon dry Banks which ly open 
to the Sun. It did grow very plentiully in a 
Pafture or Clofe belonging to the Parfonage Houfe 
of Hilderfham, a fmall Village, about fix miles 
diftant from Cambridge: The firft four grow Wild 
in France, Germany, and other Countries, in un- 
till’d, ^ rough, Stoney and Rocky places. The fifth 
and fixth grow in Danemark, and were brought 
from thence jnto England, where they Flourifh 
rather better than in their own Country. The
