_Alba staminibus purpureis._
There is also one, whose flower is pure white with blewish
purple thrums in the middle.
_Carnea Hispanica._
And another, whose flower is very great, of a kinde of sullen
blush colour, but yet pleasant, with blewish threads in the
middle.
_Alba carneis venis._
And another with blush veines in euery leafe of the white
flower.
_Alba purpureis vnguibus._
And another, the flower whereof is white, the bottomes of the
leaues being purple.
_Purpurascens._
Another whose flower consisteth of many small narrow leaues,
of a pale purple or blush colour on the outside, and somewhat
deeper within.
_Facie florum pomi simplex._
There is another like in leafe and roote vnto the first Scarlet
Anemone, but the flower hereof consisteth of seuen large leaues
without any bottomes, of a white colour, hauing edges, and some
large stripes also of a carnation or flesh colour to bee seene
in them, marked somewhat like an Apple blossome, and thereupon
it is called in Latine, _Anemone tenuifolia simplex alba
instar florum pomi_, or _facie florum pomi_, that is to say in
English, The single thin leafed Anemone with Apple blossome
flowers.
_Multiplex._
I haue heard that there is one of this kinde with double
flowers.
1. _Anemone tenuifolia flore coccineo pleno vulgaris._
The common double red or Scarlet Anemone.
The leaues of this double Anemone are very like vnto the leaues of the
single Scarlet Anemone, but not so thin cut and diuided as that with
the purple flower: the flower hereof when it first openeth it selfe,
consisteth of six and sometimes of seuen or eight broad leaues, of a
deepe red, or excellent Scarlet colour, the middle head being thick
closed, and of a greenish colour, which after the flower hath stood
blowne some time, doth gather colour, and openeth it selfe into many
small leaues, very thicke, of a more pale red colour, and more Stamell
like then the outer leaues: the root of this is thicke and tuberous,
very like vnto the root of the single Scarlet Anemone.
2. _Anemone tenuifolia flore coccineo pleno variegata._
The party coloured double Crimson Anemone.
We haue a kinde hereof, varying neither in roote, leafe, or forme of
flower from the former, but in the colour, in that this will haue
sometimes the outer broad leaues party coloured, with whitish or blush
coloured great streakes in the red leaues both inside and outside; as
also diuers of the middle or inner leaues striped in the same manner:
the roote hereof giueth fairer flowers in some yeares then in others,
and sometimes giue flowers all red againe.
3. _Anemone tenuifolia flore coccineo saturo pleno._
The double crimson Veluet Anemone.
