The double garden purple Violet. Yellow Violets. 
growing vpon the hills in Lancalhire.neerevnto. 
a village called Latham ; and though he brought 
them into his garden, yet they withered and pi- 
ned. The whole plant is described to be like vn- 
to the field Violet, and differeth from it, in that 
this plant bringeth forth yellow floures, yet like 
in forme and figure, but without fmell. 
6 The wilde field Vio'et with round leaues 
rifeth forth of the ground fro n a fibrous roof, 
with long flender branches, whereupon do grow 
round fmooth leaues. The floures grow at the 
top of the ftalkes,of a light blew colour : t and 
this growes commonly in Woods and fuch like 
places, and floures in Iuly and Atiguft. 1 here is 
another varietie of this tvilde Violet, which hath 
the leaues longer, narrower, and fharper pointed. 
And this was formerly figured and deferibed in 
this place by our Author, £ 
7 There is found in Germanie about No- 
remberg and Strasborough, a kinde of Violet 
which is altogether a ftranger in chefe parts. It 
hath (faith my Author) a thicke and tough root 
ofawooddy fubftance, from which rifeth vp a 
ffalke diuiding it felfe into diners branches, of a 
ivooddy fubftance ■ whereupon grow long iagr 
ged leaues like rhofeofthe Panfey. The floures 
grow at the top, compact of fine leaues apiece,of 
a" watcher colour.
