The Sea bastard Daffodill (to conclude this Chapter, and the discourse
of Daffodils) hath diuers broad whitish greene leaues, but not very
long, among which riseth vp a stiffe round stalke, at the top whereof
breaketh out of a great round skinny huske, fiue or six flowers, euery
one made somewhat of the fashion of the great bastard Rush Daffodill,
but greater, and wholly white; the six leaues, being larger and longer
then in the Rush kinde, and extending beyond the trunke, are tipt with
greene at the point of each leafe, and downe the middle likewise on the
backside. The trunke is longer, larger, and wider open at the mouth,
cut in or indented at the brims or edges, and small at the bottome,
with diuers white threeds in the middle, and is very sweet: vnder the
flower is a round greene head, which groweth very great, hauing within
it, when it is ripe, flat and blacke seede: the roote is great and
white.
[Sidenote: _Flore luteo, & flore rubro._]
It is reported, that there are found other sorts; some that beare
yellow flowers, and others that beare red: but we haue seene none such,
and therefore I can say no more of them.
The Place.
This kinde groweth neare the Sea side, both in Spaine, Italy,
and France, within the Straights, and for the most part, vpon
all the Leuant shoare and Islands also, but will seldome either
flower, or abide with vs in these colder Countries, as I haue
both seene by those that I receiued from a friend, and heard by
others.
The Time.
It flowreth in the end of Summer, that is, in August and
September.
The Name.
