 The laft grows naturally in Carolina, from whence 

 the late Dr. Dale fent me the feeds; thefe plants 

 flowered very finely the year after they were raifed, but 

 never have flowered fince, for the roots creep greatly 



in the ground, but never fend up any ftalks. ■ 

 The firfl: fort grows naturally by the fide of rivers 

 and ditches in moft parts of England, and is the only 

 fpecies of this genus, which is known to grow natu- 

 rally in Europe \ this is efteemed as a very good vul- 

 nerary herb, fo fl:ands in the lift of medicinal plants. 

 It is feldom admitted into gardens, bccaufe, where- 

 ever it is fuflTered to feed, the ground will be well 

 ftored with the plants to a great diftance. 

 The fecond fort grows naturally in feveral parts of 

 North America, from whence it has been introduced 

 to the gardens in Europe ; this hath a perennial root, 

 but an annual ftalk, which rifes about two feet 

 and a half high ; it is purple, and has many dark 

 fpots upon it. The leaves are rough, oval and fpear- 

 fhaped, having foot-ftalks ; they are placed by threes 

 round the ftalk toward the bottom, but upward by 

 pairs' oppofite a£ each joint, j^v The' ftalks are termi- 

 nated by clufters' of purple flowers, growing in a lore 

 of corymbus; thefe come out in July and Auguft, 

 and in warm leafons will ripen its feeds in autumn. 

 The third fort grows naturally in North America ; 

 this rifes with an upright ftalk near four feet high, 

 garniflied with long, narrow, fpear-fhaped leaves at 



. each joint ; thefe are deeply fawed on their edges, and 

 the midrib is oblique to the foot-ftalk ; they are 

 placed by fours round the ftalk in whorls, and are 



The ftalks are terminated 



; by bunches of purple flowers like the laft, which 

 appear at the fame time. This hath a perennial root 

 and an annual ftalk.; . . , - 



The fourth fort grows naturally in Virginia and Ca- 

 rolina -, this hath a perennial root, which fends out 

 many twining ftalks in the fpring ; thefe twift about 

 any neighbouring fupporr, and rife to the height of 

 five or fix feet, garnifhed at each joint with two lieart- 

 fliaped leaves, which are indented on their edges, and 

 terminate in acute points ; at each joint there are two 

 fmall fide branches come out, which are terminated 

 I5y clufters of white flowers, fo that the ftalks feem 

 covered with them moft part of their length ; but 

 as thefe come pretty late in the feafon, fo unlefs the 



fummers prove warm, the plants do not flower well in 

 England. 



There is another of thefe plants v/ith purple flower^s,,, 

 ftanding upon longer foot-ftalks, which v/as fent me 

 from Campeachy \ but the ftalks and leaves are very 



like 



of a dark green colour.
