The leaues of this kinde haue a greater shew of mealinesse to be seene
in them, and not much smaller then the former, yet snipt or endented
about the ends like vnto them: the flowers are many, of the same
fashion with the former, but smaller, each whereof is of as deepe a
murrey or tawnie colour when it is blowne, as the buds of the former
are before they are blowne, hauing a white circle at the bottome of the
flower, and yellowish in the middle belowe the circle.
4. _Auricula Vrsi flore rubro saturo orbe luteo._
Deepe or bloud red Beares eares with eyes.
This kinde hath small and long greene leaues, nothing mealy, but snipt
about the edges, from the middle of the leaues forwards to the ends:
the flowers hereof are of a deepe red colour, tending to a bloud red,
with a deepe yellow circle, or rather bottome in the middle.
[Sidenote: _Auricula Vrsi flore rubro saturo absque orbe._]
There is another of this kinde, whose leaues are somewhat mealy, and
smaller then any (that I haue seene) that haue mealy leaues: the
flowers are of the same deepe red colour with the last described, yet
hath no circle or bottome of any other colour at all.
5. _Auricula Vrsi flore purpuro cæruleo._
The Violet coloured Beares eare.
We haue another, whose leaues are somewhat mealy and large; the flowers
whereof are of a paler purple then the first, somewhat tending to a
blew.
6. _Auricula Vrsi flore obsoleto magno._
The Spaniards blush Beares eare.
This great Beares eare hath as large leaues as any other of this
kindred whatsoeuer, and whitish or mealy withall, somewhat snipt
about the edges, as many other of them are: the flowers stand at the
toppe of a strong and tall stalke, larger then any of the other that
I haue seene, being of a duskie blush colour, resembling the blush of
a Spaniard, whose tawney skinne cannot declare so pure a blush as the
English can; and therefore I haue called it the Spaniards blush.
7. _Auricula Vrsi flore rubello._ Scarlet or light red Beares eares.
The leaues of this kinde are very like the leaues of the first purple
kinde, but that they are not so thicke; of a little paler greene
colour, and little or nothing snipt about the edges: the flowers are
of a bright, but pale reddish colour, not halfe so deepe as the two
last with white circles in the bottomes of them, in other things this
differeth not from others.
8. _Auricula Vrsi roseo colore._ The Rose coloured Beares eare.
We haue another, whose leafe is a little mealy, almost as large as any
of the former, whose flowers are of a light red colour, very neare the
colour of an ordinary Damaske Rose, with a white eye at the bottome.
