2. _Fritillaria flore atrorubente._ The bloud red Fritillaria.
The roote of this Fritillaria is somewhat rounder and closer then the
former, from whence the stalke riseth vp, being shorter and lower then
in any other of these kindes, hauing one or two leaues thereon, and
at the top thereof two or three more set closer together, which are
broader, shorter, and whiter then any of them before, almost like vnto
the leaues of the yellow Fritillaria, from among which toppe leaues
commeth forth the flower, somewhat bending downe, or rather standing
forth, being larger then any of the former, and almost equall in
bignesse vnto the yellow Fritillaria, of a duskie gray colour all ouer
on the outside, and of a very darke red colour on the inside, diuersly
spotted or straked: this very hardly encreaseth by the roote, and as
seldome giueth ripe seede, but flowreth with the other first sorts, and
before the blacke, and abideth lesse time in flower then any.
3. _Fritillaria maxima purpurea siue rubra._
The great purple or red Fritillaria.
This great Fritillaria hath his roote equall to the bignesse of the
rest of his parts, from whence riseth vp one, & oftentimes two stalks,
hauing one, two or three flowers a peece on them, as nature and the
seasons are fitting: euery one of these flowers are larger and greater
then any of the former described, and pendulous as they are, of a sad
red or purplish colour, with many thwart lines on them, and small
long markes, which hardly seeme checkerwise, nor are so eminent or
conspicuous as in the former: the stalke is strong and high, whereon
are set diuers long whitish greene leaues, larger and broader then
those of the former.
4. _Fritillaria alba._ The white Fritillaria.
