There is another, whose falling leaues haue a little shew of yellownesse in them, and so are the middle ridges of the arched leaues, but the vpright leaues are more white, not differing in roote or leafe from the first white.

Argentea.
Siluer colour.

And another, whose falls are of a yellowish white, like the last, the arched leaues are whiter, and the vpright leaues of a blewish white, which we call a siluer colour.

Albida.
Whitish.

Another hath the fals yellowish, and sometimes with a little edge of white about them, and sometimes without; the vpright leaues are whitish, as the arched leaues are, yet the ridge yellower.

Albida labris luteis.
White with yellow fals.

Another hath his fals yellow, and the vpright leaues white, all these flowers are about the same bignesse with the first.

Albida angustior.
The narrow white.

But we haue another, whose flower is smaller, and almost as white as the second, the lower leaues are small, and doe as it were stand outright, not hauing almost any fal at all, so that the yellow spot seemeth to be the whole leafe, the arched leaues are not halfe so large as in the former, and the vpright leaues bowe themselues in the middle, so that the tops doe as it were meete together.

And another of the same, whose falling leaues are a little more eminent and yellow, with a yellower spot.
