And another of the same kinde with the last, whose flower consisting
of eight or nine leaues, is of a greenish colour, except the foure
outermost leaues, which are a little purplish, and diuided at the
points into three parts; the middle part is of a greenish white colour,
with a greene head in the middle as the other.
_Anemone siluestris trifolia Dodonæi._
The three leafed wilde Windflower.
This wilde _Anemone_ hath his rootes very like vnto the former kindes;
the leaues are alwaies three set together at the toppe of slender
stalkes, being small and indented about, very like vnto a three leafed
Grasse, but smaller: the flower consisteth of eight small leaues,
somewhat like vnto a Crowfoote, but of a whitish purple or blush
colour, with some white threads, and a greene rough head in the middle.
_Anemone siluestris flore pleno albo._
The double white wilde Windflower.
This double kinde is very like vnto the single white kinde before
described, both in his long running rootes, and thin leaues, but
somewhat larger: the flowers hereof are very thicke and double,
although they be small, and of a faint sweete sent, very white after
it is full blowne for fiue or six dayes, but afterwards it becommeth
a little purplish on the inside, but more on the outside: this neuer
giueth seede (although it haue a small head in the middle) like as many
other double flowers doe.
_Anemone siluestris flore pleno purpureo._
The double purple wilde Windflower.
This double purple kinde hath such like iagged leaues as the last
described hath, but more hoarie vnderneath: the flower is of a fine
light purple toward the points of the leaues, the bottomes being of a
deeper purple, but as thicke, and full of leaues as the former, with a
greene head in the middle, like vnto the former: this kinde hath small
greene leaues on the stalkes vnder the flowers, cut and diuided like
the lower leaues.
The Place.
The first broad leafed _Anemone_ groweth in diuers places of
Austria and Hungary. The yellow in diuers woods in Germany,
but not in this Countrey that euer I could learne. The other
single wilde kindes, some of them are very frequent throughout
the most places of England, in Woods, Groues, and Orchards.
The double kindes were found, as Clusius saith, in the
Lowe-Countries, in a Wood neare Louaine.
The Time.
They flower from the end of March (that is the earliest) and
the beginning of Aprill, vntill May, and the double kindes
begin within a while after the single kinds are past.
