There is another, whose flower hath eight leaues, as many of
them that follow haue (although diuers sorts haue but six
leaues in a flower) and is of a Violet purple, and therefore is
called, The Violet purple Anemone.
_Varietas._
Of all these three sorts last described, there be other that
differ only in hauing white bottomes, some smaller and some
larger.
_Purpurea striata._
There is also another of the same Violet purple colour with the
former, but a little paler, tending more to rednesse, whose
flowers haue many white lines and stripes through the leaues,
and is called, The purple stript Anemone.
_Carnea vivacissima simplex._
There is another, whose greene leaues are somewhat larger, and
so is the flower likewise, consisting of eight leaues, and
sometimes of more, of the colour of Carnation silke, sometimes
pale and sometimes deeper, with a whitish circle about the
bottome of the leaues, which circle in some is larger, and more
to be seene then in others, when the flower layeth it selfe
open with the heate of the Sunne, hauing blewish threads in the
middle. This may be called, the Carnation Anemone.
_Persiciviolacea._
We haue another, whose flower is betweene a Peach colour and a
Violet, which is vsually called a Gredeline colour.
_Cochenille._
And another of a fine reddish Violet or purple, which we call,
The Cochenille Anemone.
_Cardinalis._
And another of a rich crimson red colour, and may be called,
The Cardinall Anemone.
_Sanguinea._
Another of a deeper, but not so liuely a red, called, The bloud
red Anemone.
_Cramesina._
Another of an ordinary crimson colour, called, The crimson
Anemone.
_Coccinea._
Another of a Stamell colour, neare vnto a Scarlet.
_Incarnata._
Another of a fine delayed red or flesh colour, and may bee
called, The Incarnidine Anemone.
_Incarnata Hispanica._
Another whose flower is of a liuely flesh colour, shadowed with
yellow, and may be called, The Spanish Incarnate Anemone.
_Rubescens._
Another of a faire whitish red, which we call, The Blush
Anemone.
_Moschutella._
Another whose flower consisteth of eight leaues, of a darke
whitish colour, stript all ouer with veines of a fine blush
colour, the bottomes being white, this may be called, The
Nutmegge Anemone.
_Enfumata._
Another whose flower is of a pale whitish colour, tending to a
gray, such as the Monkes and Friers were wont to weare with vs,
and is called, A Monkes gray.
