This Windflower hath diuers broad greene leaues, cut into diuisions, and dented, about, very like vnto a broad leafed Crowfoote, among which riseth vp a stalke, hauing some such like cut leaues in the middle thereof, as growe below, but smaller; on the toppe whereof standeth one large white flower, consisting of fiue leaues for the most part, with some yellow threads in the middle, standing about such a greene head as is in the tame or garden _Anemones_, which growing greater after the flower is past, is composed of many small seedes, wrapped in white wooll, which as soone as they are ripe, raise themselues vp from the bottome of the head, and flye away with the winde, as the other tame or garden kindes doe: the roote is made of a number of long blacke strings, encreasing very much by running vnder ground, and shooting vp in diuers places. _Anemone siluestris tenuifolia lutea._ The yellow wilde thin leafed Windflower. The yellow wilde _Anemone_ riseth vp with one or two small round naked stalkes, bearing about the middle of them, small, soft, and tender iagged leaues, deeply cut in and indented on the edges about, from aboue which, doth grow the stalke, bearing small yellow flowers, standing vpon weake foote-stalks, like vnto a small Crowfoot, with some threads in the middle: the roote is long and small, somewhat like vnto the roote of Pollipodie, creeping vnder the vpper crust of the earth: this kinde is lower, and springeth somewhat earlier then the other wilde kindes that follow. _Anemone siluestris tenuifolia alba simplex._ The single white thin leafed wilde Windflower. This white wilde _Anemone_ riseth vp with diuers leaues vpon seuerall long stalkes; which are somewhat like vnto the former, but that they are somewhat harder, and not so long, nor the diuisions of the leaues so finely snipt about the edges, but a little broader, and deeper cut in on euery side: the flowers hereof are larger and broader then the former, white on the inside, and a little purplish on the outside, especially at the bottome of the flower next vnto the stalke: the roote of this is very like vnto the last. [Sidenote: _Purpurea._] There is another of this kinde, whose flowers are purple, in all other things it is like vnto the white. [Sidenote: _Coccinea siue suave rubens._] And likewise another, with a blush or carnation coloured flower. [Sidenote: _Peregrina alba._] There is one that is onely nursed vp with vs in Gardens, that is somewhat like vnto these former wilde _Anemones_ in roote and leafe, but that the flower of this, being pure white within, and a little purplish without, consisting of eight or nine small round pointed leaues, hath sometimes some leaues vnder the flower, party coloured white and greene: the flower hath likewise a greene head, like a Strawberry, compassed about with white threads, tipt with yellow pendents. [Sidenote: _Peregrina viridis._]
