There is another, whose leafe is somewhat broader then many or
most of the Anemones, comming neare vnto the leafe of the great
double Orenge coloured Anemone; the flower whereof is single,
consisting of eight large or broad leaues, very neare vnto the
same Orenge colour, that is in the double flower hereafter
described, but somewhat deeper. This is vsually called in
Latine, _Pauo maior simplici flore_, and we in English, The
great single Orenge tawnie Anemone.
_Pauo minor._
There is likewise of this kinde another, whose flower is
lesser, and called, The lesser Orenge tawnie Anemone.
_Varietas magna ex seminio._
There is besides these expressed, so great a variety of mixt
colours in the flowers of this kinde of Anemone with broad
leaues, arising euery yeare from the sowing of the seede of
some of the choisest and fittest for that purpose, that it is
wonderfull to obserue, not onely the variety of single colours,
but the mixture of two or three colours in one flower, besides
the diuersity of the bottomes of the flowers, some hauing white
or yellowish bottomes, and some none, and yet both of the same
colour; and likewise in the thrums or threads in the middle:
But the greatest wonder of beauty is in variety of double
flowers, that arise from among the other single ones, some
hauing two or three rowes of leaues in the flowers, and some so
thicke of leaues as a double Marigold, or double Crowfoote, and
of the same seuerall colours that are in the single flowers,
that it is almost impossible to expresse them seuerally, and
(as is said before) some falling out to bee double in one
yeare, which will proue single or lesse double in another,
yet very many abiding constant double as at the first; and
therefore let this briefe recitall be sufficient in stead of a
particular of all the colours.
