The ordinary Dames Violets, or Queene Gilloflowers, hath his leaues
broader, greener, and sharper pointed, then the Stock gilloflowers,
and a little endented about the edges: the stalkes grow two foot
high, bearing many greene leaues vpon them, smaller then those at the
bottome, and branched at the toppe, bearing many flowers, in fashion
much like the flowers of stocke gilloflowers, consisting of foure
leaues in like manner, but not so large, of a faint purplish colour
in some, and in others white, and of a pretty sweet sent, especially
towards night, but in the day time little or none at all: after the
flowers are past, there doe come small long and round pods, wherein
is contained, in two rowes, small and long blacke seede: the roote is
wholly composed of stringes or fibres, which abide many yeares, and
springeth fresh stalks euery yeare, the leaues abiding all the Winter.

The leaues of this Violet are very like the former, but smoother and
thicker, and not at all indented, or cut in on the edges: the flowers
are like the former, but of a sullen pale colour, turning themselues,
and seldome lying plaine open, hauing many purple veines, and streakes
running through the leaues of the flowers, of little or no sent in the
day time, but of a very sweete sent in the euening and morning; the
seedes are alike also, but a little browner.

The tree Primrose of Virginia.
