They are called _Ranunculi siluarum_, and _Ranunculi nemorum_, and as Clusius would haue them, _Leimonia_ of Theophrastus; they are generally called of most Herbarists _Anemones siluestres_, Wilde _Anemones_ or Windflowers. The Italians call them _Gengeuo saluatico_, that is, Wilde Ginger, because the rootes are, besides the forme, being somewhat like small Ginger, of a biting hot and sharpe taste. _Anemone Lusitanica siue hortensis latifolia flore simplici luteo._ The single Garden yellow Windflower or Anemone. This single yellow Anemone or Windflower hath diuers broad round leaues, somewhat diuided and endented withall on the edges, brownish at the first rising vp out of the ground, and almost folded together, and after of a sad greene on the vpperside, and reddish vnderneath; among which rise vp small slender stalkes, beset at the middle of them with two or three leaues, more cut and diuided then those belowe, with small yellow flowers at the toppe of them, consisting of ten or twelue leaues a peece, hauing a few yellow threads in the middle of them, standing about a small greene head, which in time growing ripe hath small flat seede, inclosed within a soft wooll or downe, which is easily blowne away with the winde: the roote groweth downeward into the ground, diuersly spread with branches here and there, of a brownish yellow on the outside, and whitish within, so brittle, that it can hardly bee touched without breaking. _Anemone latifolia flore luteo duplici._ The double yellow Anemone or Windflower. This double yellow Anemone hath such broad round leaues as the single kinde hath, but somewhat larger or ranker: the stalkes are beset with larger leaues, more deeply cut in on the edges: the flowers are of a more pale yellow, with some purplish veines on the outside, and a little round pointed; but they are all on the inside of a faire yellow colour, consisting of two rowes of leaues, whereof the innermost is the narrower, with a small greene head in the middle, compassed with yellow threads as in the former: the roote is like the roote of the single; neither of these haue any good sent, and this springeth vp and flowreth later then the single kinde. _Anemone latifolia purpurea stellata siue papaveracea._ The purple Starre Anemone or Windflower.
