other kindes doe: but sometimes it happeneth, that both leaues and
flowers are found growing from one and the same stalke, which I rather
take to be accidentall, then naturall so to continue: the seede hereof
is like the former kindes, which being sowne produceth variety, both
in the forme of the leaues, and colour and smell of the flowers: some
being paler or deeper, and some more or lesse sweete then others: the
leaues also, some more or lesse cornered then others: the root groweth
to be great, being round and flat, and of a blackish browne colour on
the outside.
7. _Cyclamen autumnale hederæ folio flore albo._
Iuie leafed Sowebread with white flowers.
There is one of this kinde, whose leaues are rounder, and not so much
cornered as the former, flowring in Autumne as the last doth, and whose
flowers are wholly white, not hauing any other notable difference
therein.
8. _Cyclamen autumnale angustifolium._ Long leafed Sowebread.
This kinde of Sowebread may easily be knowne from all the other kindes,
because his leafe is longer and narrower then others, fashioned at the
bottome thereof with points, somewhat like vnto _Arum_ or Wake Robin
leaues: the flowers are like the former sorts for forme, but of a
purple colour. There is also another of this kinde in all things like
the former, but that the flowers are white.

9. _Cyclamen Antiochenum Autumnale flore purpureo duplici._
Double flowred Sowebread of Antioch.
This Sowebread of Antioch with double flowers, hath his leaues somewhat
round, like vnto the leaues of the Summer Sowebread, but with lesse
notches or corners, & full of white spots on them: it beareth flowers
on stalks, like vnto others, & likewise some stalks that haue two or
three flowers on them, which are very large, with ten or twelue
leaues a peece, of a faire Peach colour, like vnto the flowers of
purple Sowebread of the Spring, and deeper at the bottome.
There are of this kinde some, whose flowers appeare in the Spring, and
are as large and double as the former, but of a pure white colour.
There are of these Sowebreads of Antioch, that haue but single flowers,
some appearing in the Spring, and others in Autumne.
