This Flowerdeluce, which is most common in Gardens, differeth nothing at all from those that are formerly described, either in roote, leafe, or flower for the forme of them, but onely that the leaues of this are not so large as the last, and the flower it selfe is of a deep purple or Violet colour, and sometimes a little declining to rednesse, especially in some places. [Sidenote: _Purpurea pallidior versicolor._] Sometimes this kinde of Flowerdeluce will haue flowers of a paler purple colour, comming neare vnto a blew, and sometimes it will haue veines or stripes of a deeper blew, or purple, or ash-colour, running through all the vpper and lower leaues. [Sidenote: _Cærulea labris purpureis._] There is another like vnto this, but more purple in the fals, and more pale in the vpright leaues. _Iris Asiatica cærulea._ The blew Flowerdeluce of Asia. This Flowerdeluce of Asia, is in largenesse of leaues like vnto the Dalmatian, but beareth more store of flowers on seuerall branches, which are of a deeper blew colour, and the arched leaues whitish on the side, and purplish on the ridges, but in other things like vnto it. [Sidenote: _Purpurea._] There is another neare vnto this, but that his leaues are a little narrower, and his flowers a little more purple, especially the vpper leaues. _Iris Damascena._ The Flowerdeluce of Damasco. This is likewise altogether like the Flowerdeluce of Asia, but that it hath some white veines in the vpright leaues. _Iris Lusitanica biflora._ The Portugall Flowerdeluce. This Portugall Flowerdeluce is very like the common purple Flowerdeluce, but that this is not so large in leaues, or flowers, and that it doth often flower twice in a yeare, that is, both in the Spring, and in the Autumne againe, and besides, the flowers haue a better or sweeter sent, but of the like purple or Violet colour as it is, and comming forth out of purplish skins or huskes. _Iris Camerarij siue purpurea versicolor maior._ The greater variable coloured purple Flowerdeluce. The greater of the variable purple Flowerdeluces, hath very broad leaues, like vnto the leaues of the common purple Flowerdeluce, and so is the flower also, but differing in colour, for the three lower leaues are of a deepe purple colour tending to rednesse, the three arched leaues are of the colour with the vpper leaues, which are of a pale or bleake colour tending to yellownesse, shadowed ouer with a smoakie purplish colour, except the ridges of the arched leaues, which are of a more liuely purple colour. _Iris purpurea versicolor minor._ The lesser variable purple Flowerdeluce. This Flowerdeluce differeth not in any thing from the last, but onely that it hath narrower greene leaues, and smaller and narrower flowers, else if they be both conferred together, the colours will not seeme to varie the one from the other any whit at all.
