15. _Ranunculus Creticus flore argenteo._
The Argentine, or cloth of siluer Crowfoot.
The greene leaues of this Crowfoote are as small and thinne, cut in
or diuided on the edges, as the last two sorts; the stalke riseth
vp somewhat higher, and diuided into some branches, bearing at the
toppe of euery of them one flower, somewhat smaller then the former,
composed of six, seuen, and sometimes of eight small round pointed
leaues, of a whitish yellow blush colour on the inside wholly, except
sometimes a little stript about the edges: but the outside of euery
leafe is finely stript with crimson stripes, very thicke, somewhat
like vnto a Gilloflower: in the middle riseth vp a small blacke head,
compassed about with blackish blew threads or thrums, which head is as
vnfruitfull for seede in our Countrey as the former. This flower hath
no such greene leaues vnder it, or to enclose it before it be blowne
open as the former: the rootes are in all things like the former.
16. _Ranunculus Asiaticus siue Tripolitanus flore rubro._
