Lilium Convallium flore albo.

THe white Convall Lily, May Lily, or the Lily of the valley, for by all these names it is called, hath a small stringy root, which runneth in the ground, and cometh up in divers places, with three or four long and broad leaves, somthing resembling those of the lesser Helleborine, from whence riseth up a small naked stalk, bearing at the top one above another, hanging all on one side, many little white flowers, like little Bottles with open mouths, which are of a comfor∣table sweet scent.
