2 Water Gladiole is called of L' Obelius, Iuncus Cyperoides floridus paludosus, Flowring Cy∣presse Rush: Iuncus, for that his stalke is like the rush: Cyperoides, because his leaues resemble Cyperus: Floridus, because it hath on the top of euery stalke a fine vmble or tuft of small flowers, in fashion of the Lilly of Alexandria, the which it is very like, and therefore I had rather call it Lilly graffe.
