buffer, yet neither oj them Jo. large or great as that 
hr It kind aforenamed-, and have very little other 
■differences in them, than that they are alfo f mailer 
in a'li'mir rcfpe&ive parts . 
XIII. The Tenth, or ftnall Satyrion of Con- 
ft.uuinople, or imall Turky Tulip. Its Root is 
very like to that of the yellow Bo/onian Tulip at 
Sect. V. aforegoing. It is a Jmjll Plant , and bears 
for the mofl part hut two Leaves on the Stalk , which 
'are fair and broad , aim oft like unto the Candia Sa- 
tyrion qr Tulip , anon to be defcribed. The Stalk 
it felf rfes not to be above a foot high , bearing 
fame times but one flower , but mofl commonly two 
thereon , one below another , and are no bigger 
than the blowers of the yellow Koloriian Satyrion or 
Tulip but differing in Color • for this on the out- 
flde, is of a purplijh Color , mixed with White and 
Green , and on the in fide of a fair-blufh color , the 
bottom and Chives being yellow ; and the Tips or 
Pendents blackifh. 
XIV. The Eleventh, or Perfian Satyrion or Tu- 
lip. Its Root is but /mail , covered with a thick 
third blackifh flu'll or skin , with a yellotaifh Wool- 
line fs fath at the top, and under the fhell. The 
Roots alfo for the mofl part (in our Climate') grow 
always lefs and lejs , decaying every year , and fo 
perijh for the mofl part, by reafon of our Frofls 
and Cold . although wc have many times f t them 
deep in she earth to defend them -, but they are apt 
of their own accord to run deep into the Ground : 
nor are they fo apt in parting or Jetting off of buds 
or little Roots , as the Bolonian or Dwarf yellow 
Tulips arc-, nor do they ever grow or abide fo great, 
as when they are brought unto us from abroad, and 
feldom Flower with us after the firft year , It rifes 
out of the Ground at the firft with one very long 
and /mail round Leaf , which when it is 3 or 4 
Inches high , does open it felf, andfhew forth ano- 
ther /mail Leaf ( as long almoft as the former) break- 
ingout oj the one fide thereof ahd after it a third, 
and fometimes a fourth and a fifth-, but eachjhortcr 
than other , which afterwards be of the breadth of 
the Dwarf Fellow Satyrion or Tulip or fomething 
broader, but much longer than any other, and abi- 
ding more hollow, and of the color of the early Tulips 
on the infide. The Stalk rifes up a foot and a half 
high fometimes , bearing one Flower thereon, com- 
pefed of fix long and pointed Leaves, of the form 
of other fm all Tulips, but not /hewing much bigger, 
than the Fellow Italian Tulip and is wholly white 
both infide and out fide of all the Leaves, except 
the three outer mofl, which have on their backs from 
the middle towards the edges, a fhew of a brewnifh 
blufh, - or pale red color, yet deeper in the midjt, 
the edges remaining wholly white. The bottoms of 
all thefe leaves are of a Dark or Dun Tawny Co- 
lor. And the Chives and Tips of a Darkifh purple 
or Tawny alfo. This does feldom bear Seed with 
us in England ; but when it does, it is J mall like 
to the Seed of the Bolonian, or Dwarf yellow Tulip, 
aforenamed. 
XV. The Twelfth, or Satyrion or Tulip of 
Candy. Its Root is J. 'mall and fomewbat like to the 
Root of the Dwarf Fellow Satyrion or Tulip, but a 
little larger. This plant has come later to our 
knowledge than the Perfian lafi defcribed, and docs 
more difficultly thrive, with refpett to our Cold Cli- 
mate. It has fair broad leaves, refe mb ling the 
Leaves of a Lilly, of a greenifh color, and not ve- 
ry whitifh. The Stalk bears at its top one Flower , 
larger and more open than many others which is ei- 
tlcr wholly White, or of a deep red color, or elfe is va- 
riably mixed. White with a fine Reddifh Purple , the 
bottoms being yellow, with Purplijh Chives , tipt 
with Blackifh Pendents. 
XVI. The Thirteenth, or Satyrion or Tulip of 
Armenia. Its Root is not much bigger than the or- 
dinary Fellow Bolonia Tulip, or Satyrion, before 
defcribed. It is a f, mall Satyrion or Tulip much • 
differing from all the former ( except the ftnall or 
Dwarf White one before defcribed ) in that it bears 
3 or 4 /mail, long, and fomevohat narrow green 
Leaves , altogether at one joint or place. The Stalk 
is not high, and is naked or without Leaves, from 
them to the Top, where it bears one J. 'mall Flower 
like unto an ordinary Red Tulip, but fomething 
more Fellow , tending to an Orange color, with a 
black bottom. 
XVII. The Places. The Titles fhew from 
whence many of them came •, but now they are 
all of them Nurtt up in our Gardens, where 
they thrive and fiourifh very well. 
XVIII. The Times. Thefe are all of them Pre- 
coccs, or early Flowers ; and Flower in thofe times 
and Months with the other forts of early Tulips : 
They Flower from the beginning of March (if the 
Seafon is Warm or Temperate) and continue Flow- 
ering fometimes to the end of April, the Seed be- 
ing ripe in about a Month after the time of Flow- 
ering. 
XIX. The Vitalities. Satyrion is Temperate in 
refpe£l to heat or cold, moifture or drynefs, rather 
inclining to hot and moift in the firft degree : Di- 
geftive, Relaxive, Peftoral, Hepatick, Chylifick, 
Analeptick, and Spermatogenetick. 
XX. The Specification. Its faid to reftore in 
Confumptions, and Excite Luft, and ftrengthens 
the Spermatick and Generative parts. 
XXL The Preparations. You may have there- 
from. I. The prepared Roots. 2. A Juice or 
Effence. 3. Sanguis or Blood. 
The Virtues. 
\ 
XXII. The prepared Roots. They are done by 
baking in a Pan or Pot in an Oven, covered over 
with Pafte; or by boiling or ftewing over the fire. 
When baked or boiled foft, the pulp is eaten with 
Milk or Cream j or with Pepper, Salt and Sweet 
Butter, adding a little Vinegar, or Wine, asismoft 
agreeable to the Palate. It nourifhes much, reftores 
in Confumptions, encreafes Seed in both Sexes, ex- 
cites Lulls, and is good againft Barrennefs. 
XXIII. The Juice or Effence. It has all the 
former Virtues, but more effeflual being drank 3 
or 4 Spoonfuls at a time, morning noon and night, 
in a Glafs of choife Canary. Drank in ftrong red 
Wine, it is faid to be good againft Convulfions in 
the Neck. 
XXIV. Sanguis, Or the Blood of Satyrion. It 
is made as that of Comfrey, Parfneps, Potatoes, 
It has the Virtues and Excellencies of the Pulp, 
Juice or Effence, aforegoing; but more excellent 
than them all •, for it reftores weak and decayed 
nature admirably, breeds Seed, provokes to Venere- 
ous A£ls, and mightily refrefhes the Spirits. Dofe 
one Ounce or more, morning, noon, and night, in 
a Glafs of Canary, or other Spirituous and Gene- 
rous Wine.
