The single purple Pinke is of a faire purple colour, like almost vnto the purple Gilloflower.
The great blush Pinke hath broader and larger leaues in the flower then any other Pinke, and of a faire blush colour.
The white Featherd Pinke hath the edges of the flower more finely and deeply cut in then the former.
The red or light purple featherd Pinke is like the former featherd Pinke, but only differeth in colour.
The Starre Pinke is a faire flower, finely iagged on the edges, with a faire red circle at the lower end of the leaues on the inside.
The white featherd Pinke of Austria is described before. The purple featherd Pinke of Austria is so likewise. The single matted Pinke is before described. The speckled Pinke is a small flower hauing small spots of red here and there dispersed ouer the white flower.
Those single flowers being like vnto Pinkes that rise from the sowing of the orenge tawney, I bring not into this classis, hauing already spoken of them in the [precedent Chapter].
The Place.
These are all like as the former, nourished in Gardens with vs, although many of them are found wilde in many places of Austria, Hungarie, and Germany, on the mountaines, and in many other places, as Clusius recordeth. The ordinary Thrift groweth in the salt Marshes at Chattam by Rochester, and in many other places in England: but the great kinde was gathered in Spaine, by Guillaume Boel that painefull searcher of simples, and the seede thereof imparted to me, from whence I had diuers plants, but one yeare after another they all perished.
