his ſo continuing ſundry yeares, vpon tranſplanting, will redire ad ingenium, that is, quickly come againe to his old byas or forme.
Lilium Aureum. The Gold red Lilly.
The ſecond red Lilly without bulbes groweth much higher then the firſt, and almoſt as high as any other Lilly: the roote hereof is white and ſcaly, the leaues are ſomewhat longer, and of a darke or ſad greene colour; the flowers are many and large, ſtanding vpright as all theſe ſorts of red Lillies doe, of a paler red colour tending to an Orenge on the inſide, with many blacke ſpots and lines on them, as in the former, and more yellow on the outſide: the ſeede veſſels are like vnto the roundiſh heads of other Lillies, and ſo are the ſeedes in them likewiſe.
I. Lilium minus bulbiferum. The dwarfe bulbed Lilly.
The firſt of the Lillies that carrieth bulbes on the ſtalke, hath a white ſcaly roote like the former; from whence riſeth vp a ſmall round ſtalke, not much higher then the firſt dwarfe Lilly, ſeeming to be edged, hauing many leaues thereon of a ſad green colour ſet about it, cloſe thruſt together: the greene heads for flowers, will haue a kind of woollineſſe on them, before the flowers begin to open, and betweene theſe heads of flowers, as alſo vnder them, and among the vppermoſt leaues, appeare ſmall bulbes or heads, which being ripe if they be put into the ground, or if they fall of themſelues, will ſhoote forth leaues, and beare flowers within two or three yeares like the mother plant, and ſo will the bulbes of the other hereafter deſcribed: the flowers of this Lilly are of a faire gold yellow colour, ſhadowed ouer with a ſhew of purple, but not ſo red as the firſt, or the next to bee deſcribed. This Lilly will ſhoote ſtrings vnder ground, like as the laſt red Lilly will doe alſo, whereat will grow white bulbed roots, like the rootes of the mother plant, thereby quickly encreaſing it ſelfe.
2. Lilium Cruentum bulbiferum. The Fierie red bulbed Lilly.
The ſecond bulbed Lilly riſeth vp with his ſtalke as high as any of theſe Lillies, carrying many long and narrow darke greene leaues about it, and at the toppe many faire red flowers, as large or larger then any of the former, and of a deeper red colour, with ſpots on them likewiſe, hauing greater bulbes growing about the toppe of the ſtalke and among the flowers, then any elſe.
Lilium Cruentum flore pleno. The Fierie red double Lilly.
The difference of this doth chiefly conſiſt in the flower, which is compoſed of manie leaues, as if many flowers went to make one, ſpotted with black ſpots, and without any bulbes when it thus beareth, which is but accidentall, as the former double Lilly is ſaid to be.
3. Lilium maius bulbiferum. The greater bulbed red Lilly.
The third red Lilly with bulbes, riſeth vp almoſt as high as the laſt, and is the moſt common kinde we haue bearing bulbes. It hath many leaues about the ſtalke, but not of ſo ſad a greene colour as the former: the flowers are of as pale a reddiſh yellow colour as any of the former, and comming neereſt vnto the colour of the Gold red Lilly. This is more plentifull in bulbes, and in ſhooting ſtrings, to encreaſe rootes vnder ground, then the others.
