This yellow Beares eare hath many faire large thicke leaues, somewhat
mealy or hoary vpon the greennesse, being larger then any other kinde,
except the sixth, and the next yellow that followeth, smooth about the
edges, and without any endenting at all: the stalke is great, round,
and not higher then in other of the former, but bearing manie more
flowers thereon then in any other kinde, to the number of thirty many
times, standing so round and close together, that they seeme to be a
Nosegay alone, of the same fashion with the former, but that the leaues
are shorter and rounder, yet with a notch in the middle like the rest,
of a faire yellow colour, neither very pale nor deepe, with a white
eye or circle in the bottome, about the middle of euery flower, which
giueth it the greater grace: the seede is of a blackish browne colour,
like vnto others, but contained in greater round heads then any other,
with a small pointell sticking in the middle: the roote is greater and
thicker then any other, with long strings or fibres like vnto the other
sorts, but greater.
13. _Auricula Vrsi maior lutea folio incano._
The greater yellow Beares eare.
This greater yellow Beares eare hath his leaues larger, and more mealy
or hoarie then the last, or any other of these kindes: the flowers are
not so many, but longer, and not so thicke thrusting together as the
first, but of a deeper yellow colour, without any eye or circle in the
middle.
14. _Auricula Vrsi maior flore pallido._
The great Straw coloured Beares eare.
This hath almost as mealy leaues as the last, but nothing so large;
the flowers are of a faire strawe colour, with a white circle at the
bottome of them, these three last haue no shew or shadow of any other
colour in any part of the edge, as some others that follow haue.
15. _Auricula Vrsi minor flore pallente._
The lesser straw coloured Beares eare.
We haue another, whose leafe is lesse mealy, or rather pale green,
and a little mealy withall; the flowers whereof are of a paler yellow
colour then the last, and beareth almost as many vpon a stalke as the
first great yellow.
16. _Auricula Vrsi minor lutea._ The lesser yellow Beares eares.
The leaues of this Beares eare are nothing so large as either of the
three former yellow kindes, but rather of the bignesse of the first
white kinde, but yet a little larger, thicker, and longer then it,
hauing vnder the greennesse a small shew of mealinesse, and somewhat
snipt about the edges: the flowers are of a pale yellow colour, with
a little white bottome in them: the seed and rootes are like vnto the
other kindes.
17. _Auricula Vrsi flore flauo._
The deepe yellow or Cowslip Beares eare.
