Helichrysum sive Amaranthus luteus.

THe golden Flower Gentle, or Goldy locks, is a stranger in our Coun∣trey, it will neither be raised from seeds, or live if the Plants should be procured out of the hotter Countreys; yet I have seen two sorts thereof in flower in London, many years since; they came up with small stalks, thinly set with narrow long whitish green leaves, bearing at the ends of the stalks, many small, double, gold-yellow flowers, in the one round, and in the other bigger, and flat at the top, both keeping their colour, and not shedding their leaves, many moneths after they are gathered, as I have seen in divers dry Plants; these and the Cats-foot, or Cotton weeds, grow wild in some parts of Italy, Candy, and other hot Countreys, but will not live with us.
