54 _ Of the Hifrorie of Plants.

-f 8 Iris Cammzrij. This liI]al_FlOLlI'€ de-lnce ofDalmatia is in {he .7 Germane Ploure deduce. like to the precedent , x.'X.‘.T, rather referiibliiig Ink £;£;l€(i.rL7:3 being both ofone {‘tature,fmall and dwarfe plants in re» fpeét ofthe greater. The floures beofa more iew co; loiir : they floure likewife in May,as the others doe 5 but beware that ye neuer caii any cold water vgion them pie». fently taken out of the V’Vell~,for their tencleriies is {itch that they wither away and rot immediatly, as} my felfe haue prouedzbut thofe which I left vnwatred at the fame time line and profper to this day. 5 This kind ofFloure de—luce came firfi from Por- tugall to v3.1: bringeth forth in the Springtime floures of a purple or violet colour,fmelling like aviolet, with a white hairy welt downe the middle. The root is thicke and {hortfiuhborne or hard to breake. In leaues and fhew it is like to the lefler Floure de-luce of Dalmatia, . but the leaues are more fpred abroad, and it commonly hath but one iialke, which in Autumne floureth againe, and bringeth forth the like homes 5 f or which caufe it is called Ira éiflonz. , 6 Iria wfolacca is like vnto the former,but much final- ler,and the floure is of a more deepe violet colour. Cmolm Clufim that excellent and learned Father of HerbariTts,hatli fet forth in his Paiionick Obferuations, the piéture of this beautiful] Floure de-luce with great broad leaues thick and fat, of a purple colour neerevnto the ground, like the great Dalmatian Floure dye-luce, which it very well refembles . The root is very fweet he— ing dry , Ptriuing with the Florentine Iris in fweetnefle. The Home is of all other moi’: confufedly mixed ivitli ftindry colours,infomuch that my pen cannot let downe euery line or fireake as it deferueth. The three leaues that Rand vpright do clafpe or embrace one another, and are of a yellow colour, The leaues that looke downward about the edges are of a pale colour,the middle part of white mixed with a line ofpurple, Sc it hath many final lines {triped ouer the {aid white floure euen to the brim of the pale coloured edge. It fmelleth like the Hawthorne floures,being liglitlyy, melled vnto.

3 The germane 1: lourc de—luCe,Wl11ChCzzme7'4rzm hath fet forth in his booke named Home Mcc{z'cm,hath great thieke andknobbygroots. The lialke is thicke and full of juice : the leaues be very broad,in refpeét of all the reii of the Flame de—luceS. The floure groweth at the top of the iialke, confifting of {ix great leaues blew of colou_r,welted downethe middle with white tending to yellow ;at the bottome next the ftalkc it is white of colour, with fome yellownefie fringed a- bout the f aid white,as alfo about the brims or edges, which greatly fetteth forth his beauty 5 the which Ioacbimm Camerarém the fon of old Cammirim ofNoremberg, had fent him out ofHunga~ ry,and did communicate one of the plants thereof to Clufim ,whofe figure he hath moit liuely fet forth with this defcriptiomdifiering foniewhat from that which Iozzcbimw himfelfe did giue vnto me at his being in London. The leaues,faith hfiaare VCTY lafgfitivice fo broadvas any of the others. The {talk is iinglc and fmootli,the Home groweth at the tOp,ofa mon; briglmiflfining b 19“, ¢o1our_ the middle rib tend ing to whitenelie,the three vpper leaues fomewhat yel_lowi{li.The root is like- wife fweet like Ireos.
