Anemone tenuifolia elegantior flore pleno rubro.

THe more elegant double narrow-leaved Anemone with a red flower hath narrower and more divided green leaves than those of the former, the stalk longer, and the outer leaves of the flower more in number, and sharper pointed, of a good crimson colour; the thrum in the middle thereof is of a pale red, and the tuft of small long leaves that cometh out of the middle of the thrum, is very large, and spread∣eth almost quite over the flower, of a lighter crimson than that of the outer leaves, and deeper than that of the thrum; many times two flowers will be joyned together on one stalk, which hapneth more frequently in this kind than in any other; the root is not so big and thick as that of the common red, but flatter and more spreading than it; all the rest that are to follow, do either resemble that or this, and the chiefest difference being in the flowers, these two general de∣scriptions may serve for all to spare unnecessary repetition.
