The first is onely nursed in Gardens, his originall being not well knowne, yet some attribute it vnto _Pannonia_ or Hungary. The second hath been found neare vnto Barcinone, and Toledo in Spaine. The third was found in Hungary by Clusius. Our ordinary euery where in the fields of Italy and France, and (as it is said) in England also. And the last groweth likewise by the corne fields in the vpper Hungary. The Time. They flower in Aprill and May, and sometimes in Iune. The Names. The first is called by Clusius _Ornithogalum maximum album_, because it is greater then the next, which hee tooke formerly for the greatest: but it might more fitly, in my iudgement, bee called _Asphodelus bulbosus albus_ (if there be any _Asphodelus bulbosus_ at all) because this do so nearly resemble that, both in the early springing, and the decay of the greene leaues, when the stalkes of flowers doe rise vp. Diuers also doe call it _Ornithogalum Pannonicum maximum album_. The second hath his name in his title, as most authors doe set it downe, yet in the great Herball referred to Dalechampius, it is called _Ornithogalum magnum Myconi_. The third hath his name from the place of his birth, and the other from his popularity, yet Dodonæus calleth it _Bulbus Leucanthemos_.
