The firfl fort grows naturally in Auftria and Bohemia 

 amongft the corn : this hath broad leaves which fpread 

 near the ground, from the center of thefe the foot- 

 ^ flalks arife, v/hich are terminated by the umbel of 

 flowers, like thofe of the Auricula ; under the umbel 

 of flowers is a large empalement, which is permanent; 

 the flowers are compofed of five fmall white petals ; 

 thefe appear in April and May, the feeds ripen in 

 June, and the plants foon after perifh.

The other forts arc much fmaller than this, fome of 

 them feldom growing more than three inches high, 

 having very finall flowers, fo niake little appearance. 

 They grow naturally on the Alps and Helvetian 

 mountains, as alfo in Siberia, from whence I have 

 received the f^eds of three or four fpecles. Thefe are 

 only preferved in botanic gardens for the fake of va- 



. riety, and all the forts except the firlt flaould have a 

 fliady fituation.' , - 



The feeds of all die forts fliould be fown foon after 

 they are ripe, ochei*wife they feldom grow the fame 

 year. They flower ufually the beginning of April, 



■ and their feeds are ripe the end of May; which, if 

 permitted to fcatter, v/ill come up, and often fucceed 

 better than thofe which are fown. The annual forts 

 periili as foon as the feeds are ripe, but the others 

 will live in an open border for feveral year^, and re- 

 quire no other care, but to keep them clean from

The firfl is an annual plant, which grov/s naturally 

 in the Ibuth of Frange, Spain, and Italy, arid is pre- 

 ferved in botanic gardens for the fake of variety." This 

 grows a foot and a half high, with woolly branching 

 ftalks, having leaves fcatteringly fet on them, which 

 are oblong and d(;wny. The flowers are produced in 

 fmall cluflers "at the top of tlie fl:alksj which are yellow, 

 and like thofe of the Sowthiftle, fo do not make any 

 great appearance. It is eafily raifed by feeds, whigh 

 mould be fown in the fpring, in the place where' the 

 planer are to remain, and will require no other culture 

 but to thin them where they* are too clofe, and keep 

 them clean from weeds. It flowers in July, and the 

 feeds ripen in Septeinber. , - 



The fecond is a perennial plant, which grows natu- 

 rally in Spain, from v/hence I received the feeds, as 

 I hf./e alfo from the Cape of Good Hope. The leaves 

 of this plant are extremely v/hite, and are much in- 

 dented on their edges ; the flower-fl:alks grow about 

 a foot high, having fmall clufters of yellow flowers, 

 .which appear in July ; the feeds fometimes ripen in 

 England, but not every year. . The roots creep, by 

 which the plants may be propagated. They love a 

 light dry foil, in which they will live In the opea air 

 in this country. 



The third fort grows naturally in Sicily, and alfo 

 near Montpelier; the lower leaves of this fort are in- 

 dented and woolly, but thofe upon the fl:alks are 'en- 

 tire; this feldom rifes more than a foot high, fupport- 

 ing a few yellow flowers at the top. _ " 



Ine fourth fort grows in Spain and Portugal ;*thc 

 leaves of this are broader, longer, and more downy, 

 than either of the other forts, the flower-ftalks rife 

 . more thaii a fobt'high^ brandling into feveral foot- 

 fl:alks, each fufl:aining one large yellow flower, fliaped 

 like thofe of Hawkweed, which are fucceeded by 



k f 



oblong black feeds' crowned with down. 

 Thefe two plants are propagated by feeds, in 'the 

 lame manner as the former, which fliould be fown in 

 autum.n, for when they are fown in the fpring, the 

 plants feldo:r! rife the fame year. '
