Hyacinthus Indicus tuberosa radice.
THe great Indian tuberous-rooted Hyacinth hath a thick tuberous knobbed root, formed into several heads, with many thick fibres at the bottoms of them, from those heads rise up several strong and tall stalks, set with divers fair, long, and broad green leaves, joyned at the bottom close unto the stalk, where they are biggest, growing smaller and smaller even to the top thereof, where stand many fair large flowers, each composed of six white leaves, spread open like those of a white Daffodill, with some short threds in the middle, and of a strong sweet scent: there is another of this kind that differeth only from this, in that it is lesser in all the parts thereof.
