5 Now come I to treat of fome more rarely to be found in our gardens, if at all. That which 
takes the firft place is by C Infer called Narci fits Jacob a nr Indicus, the Indian or Iacobtean Nar- 
cifle. The root hereofis much like to an ordinarie onion, the leaues are broad like the other Nar- 
ciffes, the ftalke is fmooth, round, hollow, and without knots, at the top whereof, out of a certaine 
skinny huske comes fortha faire red fioure like that of the flouring Indian reed, but that the leaues 
of this areiomewhat larger, and it hath fix chines or threds in the middle thereof of the fame co- 
lour as the fioure, and they are adorned with brownifh pendants ; in the midft of thefe there (lands 
a little farther out than the reft, a three forked ftile, vnder which fucceeds a triangular head, after 
the filling of the fioure. 
This giues his fioure in Iune or Inly. 
6 This Lolell calls Narci fits morn anus juncifiltus minimus ,The leaft Rufh-leaued mountaine 
Narciffe. The leaues ofthis are like the [unefuilia ; the ftalke is fhort,the fioure yellow , with the 
fix winged leaues fmall and paler coloured, the cup open and large to the blgneffe of the fioure.
