13 A yellow Flambant of diuers sorts, that is, the whole
flower more or lesse streamed or spotted on the inside, and
in some on the outside with red, the bottome in most being
blacke, yet in some yellow.
14 A paler yellow Flambant more beautifull.
15 A yellow Holias, paler or deeper yellow very variable,
spotted on the inside round about the middle, with red
sometimes plentifully, or else sparingly with a green or dark
tawny bottome.
16 A strawe coloured Holias, spotted and streamed with red,
as is to bee seene in the white Holias.
17 A yellow Fooles coate, of some called a flame colour,
wherein the yellow is more then the red, diuersly streamed.
Vnto these may be added the greene Tulipa which is also of
diuers sorts. One hauing a great flower of a deepe green
colour, seldome opening it selfe, but abiding alwaies as it
were halfe shut vp and closed, the chiues being as it were
feathered. Another of a paler or yellowish green, paned with
yellow, and is called, The Parret, &c. with white edges. A
third of a more yellowish green, with red or purplish edges.
A fourth, hath the leaues of the flower equally almost
parted, with greene and a light purple colour, which abiding
a long time in flower, groweth in time to be fairer marked:
for at the first it doth not shew it selfe so plainely
diuided. Some call this a greene Swisser. A fifth hath the
longest leaues standing like a starre, consisting of greene
and purple.
_Tulipa Serotina._ The late flowring Tulipa.
The late flowring Tulipa hath had his description expressed in the
precedent discourse, so that I shall not neede to make a repetition of
what hath already beene set downe. The greatest matter of knowledge in
this kinde is this, That it hath no such plentifull variety of colours
or mixtures in his flowers, as are in the two former sorts, but is
confined within these limits here expressed, as farre as hath come to
our knowledge.
_Tulipa Serotina._
_Rosea intensior, aut remissior._
_Rubra vulgaris, aut saturatior, & quasi nigricans, fundo
luteo vel nigro orbe, aureo incluso, dicta Oculus Solis._
_Lutea communis._
_Lutea oris rubris._
_Lutea guttis sanguineis, fundo nigro vel vario._
The late flowring Tulipa.
A Rose Colour deeper or paler.
An ordinary red, or else a deeper red like blacke bloud, with
a blacke or yellow bottome, or blacke circled with yellow,
called the Suns eye.
An ordinary yellow.
A yellow with red edges.
A yellow with red spots and veines, the bottome black or
discoloured.
