Note E244 — 43.
Reading edition
According to Lyte the Flower Gentle is identical with the Floramor (see above). Various species of Amaranthus, including the Flower amor (43. 10), and what we now call Celosia cristata, or Cockscomb, were included under this name. Parkinson (Paradisus, p. 370) says: "We have foure or five sorts of Flower-gentle to trimme up this our Garden withall."—Note by Mr. J. Britten, F.L.S.
