This kinde of Daffodill hath long and narrow grayish greene leaues,
bearing one single flower at the toppe of his stalke, like vnto the
former single bastard kindes, before specified, hauing his outer
leaues of a pale yellow colour, and his trunke of a deeper yellow: the
chiefe differences in this from the former, is in the leaues, being
narrow, and then in the trunke of the flower, which is not crumpled or
turned vp, as most of the other are; and that the brimmes or edges of
the flower is as if it had been clipt off, or cut euen.
2. _Pseudonarcissus Hispanicus medius & minor luteus._
The two lesser Spanish yellow bastard Daffodils.
These two lesser kindes of Spanish Daffodils, doe but differ in
greatnesse the one from the other, and not in any thing else; so that
in declaring the one, you may vnderstand the other to bee a little
greater. The lesser hath three or foure narrow short whitish greene
leaues, from among which commeth forth a short stalke, not aboue an
hand breadth, or halfe a foote high, bearing one single flower, not
fully standing outright, but a little bending downe, consisting of
six small leaues, standing as wings about a small, but long trunke, a
little crumpled at the brimmes: the whole flower, as well leaues as
trunke, are of one deepe yellow colour, like vnto the great Spanish
kinde: the roote is but small, and couered with a darkish coate. The
other is in all parts greater, and (as I said) differeth not else.
3. _Pseudonarcissus Hispanicus luteus minimus._
The least Spanish yellow bastard Daffodill.
The leaues of this small kinde are smaller and shorter then the former,
seldome exceeding the length of three inches, and very narrow withall,
but of the same grayish greene colour with the former: euery flower
standeth vpon a small and short footestalke, scarce rising aboue the
ground; so that his nose, for the most part, doth lye or touch the
ground, and is made after the same fashion, and of the same colour with
the former, but much smaller, as his roote is so likewise.
4. _Pseudonarcissus Gallicus minor flore pleno._
The lesser French double bastard Daffodill.
