4 The root ofthis is knotty and tuberous like thofe of other Anemones, andtheleaues are : 
much diuided and cut in like to thofe of the firft defcribed in the former Chapter: the ftalke : : 
(which hath three or foure leaues fligh ting it, as in all other Anemones) at the top fuifaineth a i 
faire fanguine floure confiding of fix large leaueswith great white nailes. Th feeds are contai- ■; 
ned in downie heads like as thofe of the former. This is Anon. tenuifol.fmpl.ft. 6. of ctufius. 
5 This differs from the former in the floure, which confifts of fix leaues made fomvvhat roun- 
der than thofe of the precedent : their colour is betweene a skarlet and fanguine. And there is ava- ■ 
rictie hereofalfoofabricke colour. This is the eighth of Cluftus. 
6 This differs from the reft, in that the floure is compofed of fome fourteene or more leaues, , 
and thefeofa light purple, or flefh-colour. This is the ninth of Clufms. 
7 The floure ofthis is large, confifting of fix leaues, being at the firft of a whitifh greene,and i 1 
then tending to a flefli colour, with their nailes greeneonthe outfide, and white within , and the : 
threds in the middle of a flefh colour. There is a lcffer of this kinde, with the floure of aflefh co- ■ 
lour, and white on the outfide, ^nd wholly white within, with the nailes greenifh. Thefeare the : 
tenth and eleuentb of Clupits. 
8 This flourealfo confifts offix leaues of a flefh colour, with whitifh edges on the outfide j , 
the infide is whitifh, with fleth coloured veines running to the middeft thereof. 
Befides thefe Angle kindes there are diners double both of the broad and narrow leaned Ane. 
mones, whereof I wi 11 only defcribe and figure two, and refer you to the forementioned Authors : j 
for the reft, which differ from thefe onely in colour. 
9 This broad leaned double Anemonie hath roots, ftalkes,and leaues like thofe of the fingle i| 
ones ofthis kinde, and at the top of the ftalke there Hands a faire large floure compofad oftwoor ; 
three rankes of leaues, fmall and long, being of a kinde of skarlet or orange-tawny colour ; the bot- ■ 
tomes of thefe leaues make a whitifh circle, which giues a great beauty to the floure,and the dow- I 
nie head is ingirt with filnguine threds tipt with blew . This is the P atto meteor 1 , of Clufms . 
i o This in fhape of roots, leaues, and ftalkes refembles the formerly defcribed narrow leaned i 
Anemones,but the floure is much different from them:, for it ponfifts firft ofdiuers broad leaues, t j 
which incompaffe a great number of fmaller narrow leaues, which together make a very faire and 4 
beautifull floure: the outer leaues hereofare red, and the inner leaues of a purple Veluet co’ourj I
