The Namet. 
I have fhewed you in the Chap¬ 
ter, next before this,the Greeke and 
Latine names to be Leucoium, and 
the derivation and tranfpofition 
thereof,to many other herbes; where- 
unto I referre you, onely thefe yel¬ 
low kinds, as well as the other fee 
forth in my former booke, are called 
Leucoium lutcum. or aureune. as a 
difhnftion to feverthem : thz Arabi¬ 
ans doe properly call this yellow kind 
Keiri , or Cheiri, although divers doe 
transferre the name, to all the other 
forts of Leucoium ; butbecanfethisis 
more excellent and vertuous, than any of the Stocke Gilloflowers, even by CVohis iud
