7. _Narcissus Iuncifolius luteus vulgaris maior._
The ordinary Iunquilia, or Rush Daffodill.
This ordinary Rush Daffodill hath foure or fiue long greene round
leaues, like vnto Rushes, whereof it tooke the name: among these leaues
riseth vp the stalke, round and greene, a foote and a halfe high very
often, bearing at the toppe three or foure flowers all yellow, but much
smaller then the last, and so is the cup also: the seede is small and
blacke, inclosed in small cornered heads; the roote is blackish on the
outside. The smell of the flower is very sweete in all these sorts of
Rush Daffodils.
8. _Narcissus Iuncifolius luteus medius_. The smaller Iunquilia, or
Rush Daffodill.
The leaues of this Daffodill are like vnto the former, but smaller and
rounder, the stalke riseth vp so high, nor are the flowers so great,
but the leaues of the flower are a little rounder, and not so pointed
as in the former, in all things else alike, sauing lesser.
9. _Narcissus Iuncifolius luteus minor._
The least Iunquilia, or Rush Daffodill.
This least Daffodill hath fiue or six small greene leaues, a little
broader, and not so long as the last, among which riseth vp a stalke
almost a foote high, bearing one or two small flowers at the toppe, of
a paler yellow colour then the former, with a yellow open cuppe, or
crowne rather in the middle, bigger then in either of the last two: the
roote is very small and blacke, like vnto the last in roundnesse and
colour.
10. _Narcissus Iuncifolius luteus albicantibus lineis distinctus._
The yellow Iunquilia, or Rush Daffodill with white lines.
This Rush Daffodill, hath round, greene, and long leaues, like vnto
the ordinary Rush Daffodill, with a stalke bearing two or three yellow
flowers, hauing leaues somewhat round at the point or end, with a
line or strake of white in the middle of euerie one of them, the cup
is short, and crowne fashion, a little crumpled about the brims: the
seede, roote, or anything else differeth not.
11. _Narcissus Iuncifolius Autumnalis flore viridi._
The Autumne Rush Daffodill with a greene flower.
