5. _Moly Narcissinis folijs._ Daffodill leafed Moly.
This Moly hath many long, narrow, and flat greene leaues, very like
vnto the leaues of a Daffodill, from whence it tooke his name (or
rather of the early greater _Leucoium_ _bulbosum_, or bulbed Violet
before described, ioyned next vnto the Daffodils, because it is so like
them) among which riseth vp two or three stalkes sometimes, each of a
foot and a halfe high, bearing at the toppe, inclosed in a skinny hose,
as all the Molyes haue, a number of small purplish flowers, which doe
not long abide, but quickly fade: the seede is blacke as others are;
the roote is sometimes knobbed, and more often bulbed, hauing in the
knobs some markes of the old stalkes to be seene in them, and smelleth
somewhat like Garlicke, whereby it may be knowne.
6. _Moly montanum latifolium luteo flore._ The yellow Moly.
The yellow Moly hath but one long and broad leafe when it doth not
beare flower, but when it will beare flower, it hath two long and
broad leaues, yet one alwaies longer and broader then the other, which
are both of the same colour, and neare the bignesse of a reasonable
Tulipa leafe: betweene these leaues groweth a slender stalke, bearing
at the toppe a tuft or vmbell of yellow flowers out of a skinnie hose,
which parteth three wayes, made of six leaues a peece, laid open like
a Starre, with a greenish backe or outside, and with some yellow
threeds in the middle: the seede is blacke, like vnto others: the roote
is whitish, two for the most part ioyned together, which encreaseth
quickly, and smelleth very strong of Garlicke, as both flowers and
leaues doe also.
7. _Moly Pyrenæum purpureum._ The purple mountaine Moly.
This purple Moly hath two or three leaues, somewhat like the former
yellow Moly, but not so broad, nor so white: the stalke hath not so
many flowers thereon, but more sparingly, and of an vnpleasant purple
colour: the roote is whitish, smelling somewhat strongly of Garlicke,
but quickly perisheth with the extremity of our cold Winters, which it
will not abide vnlesse it be defended.
8. _Moly montanum latifolium purpureum Hispanicum._
The purple Spanish Moly.
