Anemone tennifolia dicta Bel Rigat.

THis is a fair large and double flower, of an excellent crimson co∣lour, and well striped and marked with white.

There are divers other sorts of double narrow-leaved Anemones, as Orlata vera, Cagetan, il Diavolo, il Diavolesso, and several others that are variegated, but most of those variegated kinds are so nice and ten∣der that few can keep them from perishing.

There are also divers sorts of rare Italian Anemones, as The Dut∣ches, which hath a large flower, finely striped with pale Rose-colour upon white.

Mellidore is Gold yellow within the leaves, and red without.

Mariana is Pink colour, and graydeline striped.

Larviana is flesh-colour near Isabella.

St. Marke is Brick-colour, or brown red, striped with sad white.

The Extravagant, Cateana, Gallatea, and at least fifty other sorts all rare flowers.
