Thus hauing gone through the whole Family of the true Daffodils, (for
so much as hath come to our knowledge) and set them downe euery one by
his name, and in this order; it is fit that we speake of their bastard
brethern, and shew you them also, in the same order held with the
former, as neare as the plenty of variety herein, which is not the like
with the former, will giue leaue, that when you know them both by face
and name, you may the better know to place or distinguish of others,
that haue not passed vnder this rod.
_Pseudonarcissus aureus Hispanicus maximus._
The great yellow Spanish bastard Daffodill.
The roote of this kinde of Daffodill is reasonable great, and blackish
on the outside, desiring to be deepe in the ground; and therefore
will runne downe, where it will then encrease into many of-sets, from
whence rise vp many thicke, long, and stiffe leaues, of a grayish
greene colour, among which riseth vp a round strong stalke, sometimes
three foote high or better, bearing at the toppe one onely faire great
yellow flower, standing forth right, and not pendulous, consisting of
six short and somewhat broad leaues, with a very great, large, and long
trunke, of an equall largenesse, but open at the mouth, and turning vp
the brimmes a little, which are somewhat crumpled: after the flower is
past, there commeth in the place a three square head, containing round,
blacke seede, like vnto other Daffodils.
_Pseudonarcissus Pyrenæus Hispanico & Anglico similis._
The Mountaine bastard Daffodill of diuers kindes.
