Martagon Pomponium.

THe Martagon of Pompony hath a great yellowish, brown, scaly root, from whence springeth up a green stalk, two or three foot high, promiscuously thick set with many small, long, green leaves almost to the top, where stand many flowers, in number ac∣cording to the age of the Plant; for in some that have stood long unremoved, I have had fourscore or an hundred flowers on one stalk, which are of a yellowish Orenge-colour, with small black specks on the inside thereof, in fashion like to the red Martagon of Constantinople, but smaller; there is some variety in this Plant, for some of them have broader and shorter green leaves than others; and there are others that flower a fortnight after the most common, and best known of this kinde.
