The last is called by diuers _Asphodelo-hyacinthinus_, and _Hyacintho-asphodelus Galeni_. Dodonæus calleth it _Asphodelus fæmina_, and _Asphodelus bulbosus_. But Lobel, and Gerrard from him, and Dodonæus, doe make this to haue white flowers, whereas all that I haue seene, both in mine owne, and in others Gardens, bore greenish flowers, as Clusius setteth it truely downe. Lobel seemeth in the description of this, to confound the _Ornithogalum_ of Mompelier with it, and calleth it _Asphodelus hyacinthinus forte Galeni_, and saith that some would call it _Pancratium Monspeliense_, and _Asphodelus Galeni_. But as I haue shewed, the _Ornithogalum spicatum_ and this, doe plainly differ the one from the other, and are not both to be called by one name, nor to be reckoned one, but two distinct plants. _Ornithogalum Æthiopicum._ The Starre-flower of Æthiopia. The leaues of this plant are a foote long, and at the least an inch broad, which being broken, are no lesse woolly then the woolly Iacinth: the stalke is a cubit high, strong and greene; from the middle whereof vnto the toppe, stand large snow white flowers, vpon long, greene, thicke foot-stalkes, and yellowish at the bottome of the flower; in the middle whereof stand six white threeds, tipt with yellow chiues, compassing the head, which is three square, and long containing the seede: the roote is thicke and round, somewhat like the _Asphodelus Galeni_. The Place. This plant was gathered by some Hollanders, on the West side of the Cape of good Hope. The Time. It flowred about the end of August with those that had it. The Names. Because it came from that part of the continent beyond the line, which is reckoned a part of Æthiopia, it is thereupon so called as it is set downe. _Ornithogalum Neapolitanum._ The Starre-flower of Naples.
