4 The fourth kinJe ofTulipa, that floureth later, hath leaues, ftalks, and roots likeynto the 
precedent. The floures hereof be of a skarlet colour, welted or bordered about the edges with 
red. Themiddle partis likevntoa hart tending to whitenefle, fpotted in the fame vvhitenes with 
red fpeckles or fpots. The feed is contained in lquare cods, fiat, tough, and finewie. 
% 12 Tulipa miniata. ( £ 23 Tulipa albo& rubro (Iriatus , 
The Vermilion Tulip.’ The white and red ftripcd Tulip, 
5 The fiftlbrt of Tulipa, which is neither of the timely ones,norofthe later flouring fort, 
but one that buddeth forth his moftbeautifull floures betweeneboth. Itagreeth with the laftde- 
fcribed Tulipa, in leaues, ftalkes, roots, and feed, but differeth in floures. Theflodre confifteth 
of fix fmall leaues ioynedtogetheratthebottomerthemiddleof which leaues are of a pleafant 
b loudy colour, the edges be bordered with white, and the bottome next vnto the ftalke is likewife 
white • the whole floure refembling in colour the bloffomes of an Apple tree. 
6 The fixth hath leaues, roots, ftalkes, and feed like vnto the former, but much greater in e- 
uery point. The floures hereof are white, daftit about the brimmes or edges with a red or blufh 
colour. The middle part is ftripped confufedly with the fame mixture, wherein is the difference. 
7 Carolus Clufius fetteth forth in his Pannonicke hiftorie a kinde ofTulipa that beareth fairs 
red floures, blacke in the bottome, with apeftell in the middle of an ouer-worne greenifh colour; 
ofwhich fort there happeneth fome to haue yellow floures, agreeing with the others before tou- 
ched : but this bringeth forth encreafe of root in the bofome of his loweft leafe next to the ftalke, 
contrarie to all the other kindes ofTulipa. 
8 Lobcliu-s in his learned Obferuations hath fet forth many other forts ; one he calleth T uhpa 
ChalcedonicA, or the Turky Tulipa, faying it is the leaft of the fmall kindes or Dwarfe Tulipa’s, 
whofc floure is of a fanguine red colour, vpon a yellow ground, agreeing with the others in roote, 
leafe, and ftalke. 
9 He hath likewife fet forth another ; his floure is like the Lilly in proportion, but in colour 
of a fine purple. 
I o We may alfo behold another fort altogether greater than any of the reft, whofe flonre is 
in colour like the ftone called <_ Amcthifi , notvnlike to the floures of Peonie. 
I I We haue likewife another of greater beauty, and very much defiredof all, with white 
floures dafht on the backfide, with a light vvalb ofvvatchet colour.
