The leaues of this greater kinde are longer, greater, and a little
broader then the former; the stalke also is higher, and the flower
larger, more open at the mouth and crumpled, then the white, but wholly
of a yellow colour: the seede and the roots are bigger, according to
the proportion of the plant.


_Pseudonarcissus Iuncifolius luteus minor._
The lesser yellow bastard Iunquilia.

This is so like vnto the last in all things, that I shall not neede to
trouble you with repetitions of the same things formerly spoken; the
chiefest difference is the smallnesse of the plant in all parts.


_Pseudonarcissus Iuncifolius luteus serotinus._
The late yellow bastard Iunquilia.

There is likewise a third kinde, as great as the greater yellow, and in
all his parts expressing and equalling it, but is accounted the fairer,
and flowreth somewhat later.


        The Place.

        The Pyrenæan Hils haue afforded vs all these varieties, and wee
        preserue them carefully; for they are all tender.


        The Time.

        All these flower in Aprill, except the last, which is a moneth
        later.


        The Names.

        The French and Lowe-Countrey men call them _Trompettes_, that
        is, Trumpets, from the forme of the trunke; wee sometimes call
        them also by that name, but more vsually bastard Iunquilia’s.
