 cannot fay, becaufe there are few animals who care to 

 cat it, except the afs •, for it is reckoned to have fome- 

 thing of the quality of Hemlock, but in a Icfs degree. 

 It is a weed which fliould be rooted out from all

This genus of plants is joined with the other kinds 

 plant fpread greatly over the ground, and as the I of Palms by Dr. Linnaeus, and placed in the appen^- 

 roots are perennial, they are' often very troublefome dix to his Genera Plantaruai v but fhould be ranged 



in his twenty-third clafs, or rather made a diftind clafs 

 by thcmfelvcs, becaufe their manner of fruftification 

 is very different frpm moft other plants.

The fecond fort grows naturally in Hungary and If- 



tria. This plant hath a thick tuberous root, from 



which come forth feveral leaves refembling thofe of 



\Vild Chervil, which fpread horizontally near the 



T' "ground. The ftalks rife fix or feven feet high, which 



\ are Ipotted with purple, and garnifiied with leaves of 



* the ume form as thofe below. The knots at tlie 



' joints of the ftalks fwell out on every f:de, at which 



'."' is placed one of thefe divided leaves; the ftalks are 



:^ terminated by fmall umbels of white flowers, v/hich 



*. are fucceeded by long narrow feeds. It flowers in June, 



and the feeds ripen in Auguft. If the feeds of this 



plant are permitted to fcatter, the plants will come 



up without any farther care, and only' require to be 



kept clean from weeds. 



The third fort grows naturally on the fides of foot- 

 walks, and on the borders of woods In many parts 

 of England, fo is not cultivated in gardens. 

 ' The fourth fort grows naturally in the paftures about 

 . Geneva, and in Switzerland ; this hath a perennial 

 root, from which come out in the fpring many leaves, 

 ' Ihaped like thofe of the firft, but narrower, hairy, 

 and more divided. The ftalks are channelled, and 

 ^Hle three feet high, garniflicd with the like leaves •, 

 ' . thcfe are terminated by large umbels, formed of many 

 fmall ones, whicli are compofed of flowers, having 

 five heart-ftiaped petals, which turn inward; thefe 

 arc fucceeded by long pointed feeds. The whole 

 . plant has an aromatic fmell and tafte. 



The fifth fort 'grows naturally on the Alps, and the 

 - Helvetian mountains. It is a perennial plant, fome- 

 wKat refemblino; the firft fort, but their leaves are 

 airy, and their fegments are broader ; the ftalk rifes 

 four feet high, terminated by large um.bels of flow- 

 ers, which in fome plants are red, and in others 

 , white \ thefe are fucceeded by long pointed feeds, 

 , two being joined in the fame cover. 

 _ i hefe plants are preferved in botanic gardens for va- 

 riety ; but as their ufe either in medicine or the kitchen 



arc not known, they are rarely admitted into other 

 gardens.

The firft fort grows naturally in Spain, particularly 

 in Andalufia, where, in the fandy land, the roots 

 fpread and propagate fo faft, as to cover the ground 

 in the fame manner as the Fern in England. The 

 leaves of thefe plants are tied together to make be- 

 foms for fwceping. 



This never rifes with an upright ftcm, but the foot- 

 ftalks of the leaves rife immediately from the head of 

 the root, and are armed on each fide with ftrono- 

 fpines ; they are flat on their upper furface, and con- 

 vex on their under fide. The center of the leaves 

 are faftcned to the foot-ftalk, which fpread open like 

 a fan, having many foldings, and at the top are 

 deeply divided like the fingers of a hand •, when they 

 firft come out, they are clofed together like a fan 

 w^hen fliut, and are faflened together by ftrong fibres 

 which run along the borders of the leaves •, and when 

 the leaves fpread open, thefe fibres or ftrings hang 

 from the fides and ends ; the borders of the leaves 

 are finely fawcd, and have white narrow edgings; 

 they are from nine to eighteen inches long, and near 

 a foot broad in their wideft parr : as the lower leaves 

 of the plants decay, their veftiges remain, and form 

 afhort ftump above ground, in the fame manner as 

 our common male pern docs ; from between the 

 leaves cpmes out the fpadix or club, which fuftains 

 the flowers ; this is covered with a thin fpatha or 

 hood, which falls oft' when the bunches open and di- 

 vide.
