Lmcoium. Stocke Gilloflowers. 
Have in my former booke the wed you many forts of Stocke (Billoflowers, there yet doe remaine ■ 
||s£>y divers others which are of lefle beauty and durabilitie to be entreated of here, as I there promifed. 
||S^ And becaufe the word Zfwaww in Latine, is referred as well to thefe Stocke Gilloflowers, as to i 
l ^ c Wallflowers with this diftinftion of Luteum onely. I will alfo diftinguifh and feparate them, 
entreating in the next Chapter ofthofe that beare yellow flowers and greene leaves, which is the 
diftinftion betweene a Wallflower and a Gilloflower, yet I will here give you the figure of the Angle garden 
Stocke Gilloflowers. * 
1. Leucoium mttritum maximum. The greateft Sea Stocke Giflowflower, 
This Sea Stocke Gilloflower hath divers long thicke whitiftifoft leaves, lying upon the ground one within 
another in a round compafle, and are differ then the other Sea kinds, or the garden kinds formerly fet forth, 
jagged alfo or cut in on both fidcs evenly, into deepe dents like the knagges of a Bucks home, which make 
it feeme the more beautifull: thus it doth abide for the firft yeares growing, but the next yeare it bearcth a hoa¬ 
ry white ftalke, three foote high or thereabouts, branching forth into many parts, fomewhat thicke but weakc, 
fcarfe able to Hand upright,whereon grow narrower leaves little or nothing jagged about the edges,and a num¬ 
ber of flowers at the toppes one above another, for a great length each of them confifting of fourc broad poin¬ 
ted leaves a peece, but not altogether fo fweete as the other Stocke Gilloflowers, yet fomewhat larger, and of 
a pale blewilh purple colour, almoft like unto a Dove or Crane colour, after which come fuch like long pods 
as the reft have, with feedes lying in a double row in the fame manner, larger and of a darker colour: the roote 
is white hard and long,fprcading into many branches, which abidetb not after it hath ycelded feede, but perifh- 
eth as the other Sea kindes doe. 
2. Leucoium marinum lAtifolium. Broad leafed Sea Stocke Gilloflower. 
This Sea Stocke Gilloflower hath many hoary leaves lying about the roote, fhorter and broader then the other 
Sea kindes,harder alfo in feeling, and as it were rugged, more hairy and finely dented about the edges: from 
among which rife up divers round hairy ftalkes about a foote high, bearing purplifli blew flowers like the other, 
and fmall long pods with browmfh flat feede in them. 
3 . Leucoium marinum majw. Great Sea Stocke Gilloflower. 
This Greater Sea Stocke Gilloflower hath divers long thicke hoary leaves lying on the ground for the firft 
yeare; fome of them being cut in on the one edge and fome on both, with but one gafh and lome not at all: the 
ftalke rifeth up the next yeare about a foote high,or more fpread itno divers branches, yet all of them weake, and 
rather bending downewards then Handing upright, whereon grow leaves little or nothing parted or cut in, and 
divers flowers on the toppes of them, of a pale purple colour, drawing neare to the colour of red wine lees j both
