The difference of this from the former, consisteth more in the colour
then forme of the flower, which is of a deep Violet purple, sometimes
paler, and sometimes so deep, that it almost seemeth blacke: And
sometimes the fals purplish, and the vpper leaues blew. Some of these
haue a sweete sent, and some none.
[Sidenote: _Cærulea._]
There is another of a fine pale or delayed blew colour throughout the
whole flower.
5. _Chamæiris latifolia minor suauerubens._
The lesser blush coloured dwarfe Flowerdeluce.
This Flowerdeluce hath the falling leaues of the flower of a reddish
colour, and the thrumes blew: the vpper and arched leaues of a fine
pale red or flesh colour, called a blush colour; in all other things it
differeth not, and smelleth little or nothing at all.
6. _Chamæiris latifolia minor lutea versicolor._
The lesser yellow variable dwarfe Flowerdeluce.
The falling leaues of this Flowerdeluce are yellowish, with purple
lines from the middle downewards, sometimes of a deeper, and sometimes
of a paler colour, and white thrumes in the middle, the vpper leaues
are likewise of a yellowish colour, with purple lines in them: And
sometimes the yellow colour is paler, and the lines both in the vpper
and lower leaues of a dull or dead purple colour.
7. _Chamæiris latifolia minor cærulea versicolor._
The lesser blew variable dwarfe Flowerdeluce.
The vpper leaues of this flower are of a blewish yellow colour, spotted
with purple in the broad part, and at the bottome very narrow: the
falling leaues are spread ouer with pale purplish lines, and a small
shew of blew about the brimmes: the thrume is yellow at the bottome,
and blewish aboue: the arched leaues are of a blewish white, being a
little deeper on the ridge.
And sometimes the vpper leaues are of a paler blew rather whitish, with
the yellow: both these haue no sent at all.
8. _Chamæiris marina purpurea._ The purple dwarfe Sea Flowerdeluce.
This small Flowerdeluce is like vnto the narrow leafed Sea Flowerdeluce
before described, both in roote, leafe, and flower, hauing no other
difference, but in the smalnesse and lownesse of the growing, being of
the same purple colour with it.
9. _Chamæiris angustifolia maior._ The greater Grasse Flowerdeluce.
