9. _Auricula Vrsi flore cæruleo folio Boraginis._
Blew Beares eares with Borage leaues.
This plant is referred to the kindred or family of the Beares eares,
onely for the forme of the flower sake, which euen therein it doth not
assimilate to the halfe; but because it hath passed others with that
title, I am content to insert it here, to giue you the knowledge
thereof, and rather to satisfie others then my selfe with the place
thereof: the description whereof is as followeth: It hath diuers broad
rough hairy leaues spread vpon the ground, somewhat like vnto the
leaues of Borage for the roughnesse, but not for the largenesse; the
leaues hereof being somewhat rent in some places at the edges: from
among these leaues rise vp one, or two, or more brownish, round, and
hairy stalkes, a span high or thereabouts, bearing at the toppes three
or foure flowers a peece, consisting of fiue large pointed leaues, of a
faire blew or light azur colour, with some small yellow threads in the
middle, standing in small greene cups: the roote is long and brownish,
hauing many small fibres annexed vnto it.
10. _Auricula Vrsi maior flore albo._ The great white Beares eare.
This white Beares eare hath many faire whitish greene leaues, somewhat
paler then the leaues of any of the kindes of Beares eares, and a
little snipt about the ends, as manie other are: among these leaues
rise vp stalkes foure or fiue inches high, bearing at the toppe many
flowers like vnto the small yellow Beares eare hereafter set downe,
of a pale whitish colour, tending to yellow at the first opening of
the flower, which after two or three dayes change into a faire white
colour, and so continue all the while it flowreth: the roote is like
the purple kinde, as all or most of the rest are, or very little
differing.
11. _Auricula Vrsi minor flore albo._ The lesser white Beares eare.
The lesser Beares eare hath smaller leaues, of a little darker green
colour: the stalke and flowers are likewise lesser then the former, and
haue no shew of yellownesse at all, eyther in budde or flower, but is
pure white, differing not in other things from the rest.
12. _Auricula Vrsi maxima lutea flore eleganti._
The greatest faire yellow Beares eare with eyes.
