p npHefe plants which wee terme commonly in Englifh, Wal-floures and Stocke Grllo- 
* floures are comprehended vnder one general! name of Leucoion , (i) Viola alba. White Vi- 
olet, mm*"' fignifying white, and *•» a Violet, which as £6me would haue it is not from the whitenefle 
of the floure,for that the .mod and mod vfuall of them are of other colours,but from the whitenes 
or hoarinefle of the leaues, which is properrather to the Stocke Gillouers than to the wal-floures, 
I therefore thinke it fit to diftinguifh them into Lcucoiafolijsviridibus, that is Wal-floures ; and 
Leucoia foliit incanu-S tocke Gillouers. Now thefe againe are diftinguifhed into feuerall fpecies,as 
you may findeby the following Chapters Moreouer you mull remember there is another Viola al- 
ba or Leucoion (which is thought to be that of Theopbraftus and whereofwe haue treated in the firft 
booke)which is far different from this, and for diftindlion fake called Leucoium bnlbofum. p
