These Daffodils do flower very early, euen with the first sort of Daffodils, I meane after they haue been accustomed vnto our climate: for oftentimes vpon their first bringing ouer, they flower in Ianuary or February, especially if they be preserued from the frosts, and kept in any warme place; for they are very tender, and will soone perish, being left abroad. The Names. The first is called by diuers in French, _Narcisse d’ Algiers_ and in many places of the Low Countries, _Narcissen van Heck_, or _Narcissus Heckius_; by diuers others _Narcissus Africanus aureus maior_, we may call it in English, The great African Daffodill, or the great Barbary Daffodill, or the great yellow Daffodill of Argiers, which you please. The second hath no other variation of name, then a diminutiue of the former, as is set downe in the title. The third is no doubt the same, that Clusius setteth downe in the twelfth Chapter of his second Booke of the History of more rare plants, and maketh the fourth sort, which came from Constantinople, and may also be the same, which he maketh his fifth, which (as he saith) he receiued from Doctour _Simor Touar_ of Seuill in Spaine. Wee call it, from the place from whence we receiued it, _Narcissus Byzantinus_, with the addition of _totus luteus_, to put a difference from other sorts that come from thence also: in English, The yellow single Daffodill of Turkie. _Narcissus Sulphureus maior._ The greater Lemon coloured Daffodill. The greater of these Daffodils, beareth three or foure greene and very long leaues, a foote and a halfe long at the least, among which riseth vp a round, yet crested stalke, not so high as the leaues, bearing fiue or sixe single flowers thereon, euery one of them being greater then the ordinary French or Italian Daffodils, with many flowers vpon a stalke; of a faint, but yet pleasant yellow colour at the first, which after they haue been in flower a fortnight or thereabouts, change into a deeper, or more sullen yellow colour: the cup in the middle is likewise larger, then in those formerly named, and of a deeper yellow colour then the outer leaues, hauing onely three chiues within it. The smell is very pleasant. _Narcissus Sulphureus minor._ The lesser Lemon coloured Daffodill.
