Although this strange Lilly hath not his flowers hanging downe, and turning vp again, as the former kinds set forth in this Chapter, yet because the green leaues stand at seuerall ioynts as they do, I must needs insert it here, not knowing where more fitly to place it. It hath a small scaly roote, with many small long fibres thereat, from whence riseth vp a reasonable great stalke, almost as high as any of the former, bearing at three or foure distances many long and narrow greene leaues, but not so many or so broad as the former, with diuers ribbes in them: from among the vppermost rundle of leaues breake forth foure or fiue flowers together, euery one standing on a long slender foote stalke, being almost as large as a red Lilly, but a little bending downewards, and of a faire yellow colour, spotted on the inside with diuers blackish purple spots or strakes, hauing a middle pointell, and sixe chiues, with pendents on them. The Place. All these Lillies haue been found in the diuers Countries of Germany, as Austria, Hungaria, Pannonia, Stiria, &c. and are all made Denisons in our London Gardens, where they flourish as in their owne naturall places. The last was brought into France from Canada by the French Colonie, and from thence vnto vs. The Time. They flower about the later end of Iune for the most part, yet the first springeth out of the ground a moneth at the least before the other, which are most vsually in flower before it, like vnto the Serotine Tulipas, all of them being early vp, and neuer the neere. The Names. The first is vsually called _Martagon Imperiale_, the Imperiall Martagon, and is _Lilium Montanum maius_, the greatest Mountaine Lilly; for so it deserueth the name, because of the number of flowers vpon a head or stalke. Some haue called it _Lilium Sarasenicum_, and some _Hemerocallis_, but neither of them doth so fitly agree vnto it. The second is _Lilium Montanum maius flore albo_, and of some _Martagon Imperiale flore albo_, but most vsually _Martagon flore albo_, the white Martagon. The second sort of this second kinde, is called _Martagon flore albo maculato_, the spotted white Martagon. And the third, _Martagon flore carneo_, the blush Martagon. The third kinde is called _Lilium Montanum_, the Mountaine Lilly, and some adde the title _minus_, the lesser, to know it more distinctly from the other. Some also _Lilium Siluestre_, as Clusius, and some others, and of Matthiolus _Martagon_. Of diuers women here in England, from the Dutch name, Lilly of Nazareth. The last hath his title _Americanum & Canadense_, and in English accordingly. CHAP. IV.
