This wilde kinde of stocke gilloflower hath larger, longer and greener
leaues then any of the former kindes, vneuenly gashed or sinuated on
both edges lying on the ground, and a little rough or hairy withall:
from among which rise vp the stalkes, a yard high or more, and hairy
likewise, bearing thereon here and there some such like leaues as
are below, but smaller, and at the top a great number of flowers,
as large or larger then any of the former single kindes, made of 4.
large leaues a peece also, standing in such like long huskes, but of a
darke or sullen yellowish colour: after which come long roundish pods,
wherein lye somewhat long but rounder and greater seede then any stocke
gilloflower, and nearer both in pod and seede vnto the _Hesperis_ or
Dames Violet: this perisheth not vsually after seede bearing, although
sometimes it doth.
4. _Leucoium marinum Syriacum._ Leuant stocke gilloflowers.
This kind of stocke gilloflower riseth vp at the first with diuers long
and somewhat broad leaues, a little vneuenly dented or waued on the
edges, which so continue the first yeare after the sowing: the stalke
riseth vp the next yeare to bee two foot high or more, bearing all
those leaues on it that it first had, which then do grow lesse sinuated
or waued then before: at the top whereof stand many flowers, made of
foure leaues a peece, of a delayed purple colour, but of a small sent
which turne into very long and narrow flat pods, wherein are contained
flat seed like the ordinary stocke gilloflowers, but much larger and
of a darke or blackish browne colour: the root is white, and groweth
deepe, spreading in the ground, but growing woody when it is in seede,
and perisheth afterwards.
5. _Leucoij alterum genus, flore tam multiplici quam simplici ex
feminio oriundum._
Another sort of Stocke gilloflowers bearing as well double as single
flowers from seede.
