This other Dogs tooth is like vnto the former, but lesser in all parts, the leafe whereof is not so long, but broad and short, spotted with darker lines and spots: the flower is like the other, but smaller, and of a delayed purple colour, very pale sometimes, and sometimes a little deeper, turning it selfe as the other, with a circle round about the vmbone or middle, the chiues hereof are not white, but declining to purple: the roote is white, and like vnto the former, but lesser, as is said before. _Dens Caninus flore rubro._ Dogs tooth with a red flower. This is in all things like vnto the last, both for forme and bignesse of flower and leafe: the chiefe difference consisteth in this, that the leaues hereof are of a yellowish mealy greene colour, spotted and streaked with redder spots and stripes, and the flower of a deeper reddish purple colour, and the chiues also more purplish then the last, in all other things it is alike. The Place. The sorts _Dens Caninus_ doe growe in diuers places; some in Italy on the Euganean Hils, others on the Apenine, and some about Gratz, the chiefe Citie of Stiria, and also about Bayonne, and in other places. The Time. They flower in March most vsually, and many times in Aprill, according to the seasonablenesse of the yeare. The Names. Clusius did call it first _Dentali_, and Lobel, and from him some others _Satyrium_, and _Erythronium_, but I haue said enough hereof in the beginning of the Chapter. It is most commonly called _Dens Caninus_, and we in English, either Dogs tooth, or Dogs tooth Violet. Gesner called it _Hermodactylus_, and Matthiolus _Pseudohermodactylus_. The Vertues. The roote hereof is held to bee of more efficacy for venerous effects, then any of the Orchides and Satyrions. They of Stiria vse the rootes for the falling sicknesse. Wee haue had from Virginia a roote sent vnto vs, that wee might well iudge, by the forme and colour thereof being dry, to be either the roote of this, or of an Orchis, which the naturall people hold not onely to be singular to procure lust, but hold it as a secret, loth to reueale it.
