The two former haue beene sent from Turkie by the name of _Muschoromi_ and _Dipcadi_. Matthiolus calleth it _Bulbus vomitorius_, saying that no root doth more prouoke vomit then it. Caspar Bauhinus doth most properly call it _Hyacinthus Moschatus_. It is most generally called _Muscari_, by all Herbarists and Florists, yet because it doth so neerely resemble the Grape-flower, I haue named it _Hyacinthus Botroides maior Moschatus_, to put a difference from the lesser Grape-flowers that follow; in English, The great Muske Grape-flower, or Muscari. _Hyacinthus Botroides minor cæruleus obscurus._ The darke blew Grape-flower. This Grape-flower hath many small, fat, and weake leaues lying vpon the ground, which are somewhat brownish at their first comming vp, and of a sad greene afterwards, hollow on the vpperside, and round vnderneath, among which rise vp round, smooth, weake stalkes, bearing at the toppe many small heauie bottle-like flowers, in shape like the former Muscari, but very thicke thrust together, smaller, and of a very darke or blackish blew colour, of a very strong smell, like vnto Starch when it is new made, and hot: the root is round, and blackish without, being compassed with a number of small rootes, or of-sets round about it, so that it will quickly choke a ground, if it be suffered long in it. For which cause, most men doe cast it into some by-corner, if they meane to preserue it, or cast it out of the Garden quite. [Sidenote: _Alter maior._] There is another of this kinde that is greater, both in leafe and flower, and differeth not in colour or any thing else. _Hyacinthus Botroides cæruleus amænus._ The skie coloured Grape-flower. This Iacinth springeth vp with fewer leaues then the first, and not reddish, but green at his first appearing; the leaues, when they are full growne, are long and hollow, like the former, but greener, shorter, and broader, standing vpright, and not lying along vpon the ground as they doe: the flowers grow at the toppe of the stalke, more sparsedly set thereon, and not so thicke together, but like a thinne bunch of grapes, and bottle-like as the former, of a perfect blew or skie colour, euery flower hauing some white spots about the brimmes of them: this hath a very sweete smell, nothing like the former: this roote is whiter, and doth not so much encrease as the former, yet plentifull enough. _Hyacinthus Botroides ramosus._ The branched Grape-flower. Of this kinde, there is another found to grow with many branches of flowers, breaking out from the sides of the greater stalkes or branches: the leaues as all the rest of the plant is greater then the former. _Hyacinthus Botroides flore albo._ The white Grape-flower.
