lling the report of fome lying, or die ignorant 
perfons, for I could neuerfinde it growingwilde 
with double floures here, nor earner trim there: 
yet I do not deme but by chance fome one with 
double floures may be found both here & there, 
but this is not euery where. $ 
The Place. 
They ioy in moift andmarilh grounds, and in 
watery medowes. % I haiic not f®und the dou- 
ble one wilde, but feene it preferued in diners
