but as there arc many fpecics of each genus, fo it is 

 better to keep them afunder, whereby their old ti- 

 des, by which they have always been known in the 

 ihops and market will be retained, though there is no 

 very eficntial difference in their characters.

 The firft fort grows naturally on fandy and gravelly 

 groundsVTn many parts of England. This a peren- 

 nial plant; the lower leaves grow upon pretty long 

 foot-ftalks, and are near four inches long and two 

 broad ; they are fmiiated on their borders, and bluntly 

 cfenated -, their furface is rugged and wrinkled ; the 

 ftalks are a foot long, fquare, ^nd inclining toward the 

 ground \ the leaves" upon thefe are fmaller, and cre- 

 nated on their edges ; the flowers grow in a whorled 

 foikeat the top of the ftalk, generally with two 

 morter fpikes, one on each fide'; the flowers are fmall 

 and blue ; thefe are fcarce fo long as their empale- 

 fnents ; they have but one petal, which is divided into 



n J- , . - deeply veiiicd, 



ftandrng upon pretty long foot-ftalks which arc hairy ; 

 the fl:alks arile from between thefe, which arc fqua/e' 

 and grow two feet and a h:ilf high, which are ^ar- 

 niflicd with two hcart-fliapcd leaves at each joint 

 whofe bafe fits clofe to the ftalks, half embracincr 

 them ; the ftalks at the two or three upper joints' 

 put out on each fide a long foot- ftalk ; thefe, and alfo 

 the principal ftalk, are garniflied v/ith whorls of 

 fmall blue flowers, not much unlike thofe of the 

 common fort, but larger ; the fpikes are more than a 

 foot long, and toward the top the whorls are nearer 

 together. It flowers in June, and the feeds ripen in 

 Auguft. 



The fourth fort grows naturally in the fouth of 

 France, and in Italy. This is alfo a perennial plant, 

 which has fome refemblance of the third, but the 

 lower leaves of this are cut at their bafe to the mid- 

 rib, into one or two pair of ears or lob.^s, which 



are 



but fmall, and are often at a diftance from each other ; 

 the leaves are not fawed, but are bluntly indented ; 

 the ftalks of this are flenderer, and do not o-row fo 

 tall as thofe of the third, nor are the fpikes of flov/ers 

 fo long. This flowers and feeds at the fame time with 

 the third. 



Both forts may be eafily propagated by feeds, which, 

 if fowri in the fpring on an open fpot of ground, th« 

 plants will come up, and require no other care but to 

 keep them clean from weeds, and allow them room 

 to grow ; for the plants Ihould not be nearer than two 

 feet apart, foir'they grow very large, and will laft fc- 

 veral years, ' ■ ' 



The fifth fort is an annual plant, which grows^ natu- 

 rally in Spain ; of this there are three varieties which 

 are conftant, one with purple tops, another with red 

 tops, and a third with green tops. As they differ in 

 nothing but the colour of their bradiE 6n"'the top of 

 the ftalks, fo I have not put them down as different 

 fpecies, though from more than thirty years culti- 

 vating them, I have not known them alter. " 

 Thefe plants have obtufe crenated leaves, '' fliaped 

 like thofe of the common red Sage; the ftalks are 

 fquare and grow ere6t, about a foot and a half hif^h; 

 ,their lower parts are garniftied at each joint with two 



oppofite leaves of the fame fiiape, but gradually di- 

 twoUbsAhe upper being a little longer than the uh- I miniftiing in fize toward the top: the ftalks are ear- 

 der, and almoft ftiuts over it ; there are but two .per- 

 fe£l ttamina in each flower, and four germeh at the 

 ■ Bottom^' tiip^^^^ a Trngle ftyle ; the germen after- 



ward become fo niany' naked feeds, fitting in the etn- 



palemerit! 'It flowers m June and July, and the feeds 

 ripen in Auo-uft and September; This fort propa- 

 gates itfelfin plenty, if the feeds are permitted to 

 fcatter, and requires no other culture but to keep the 

 plants clean from weeds. ,, ^ ; , , ; /^ 



This j^ r^pqetimes called Oculus Chrifti, fro^l the fu^- 

 pofed virtues of its' feeds in clearing of the fight, which 

 it does by its vifcous , covering ; for when any thing 

 Kappens to fall into the^eye, if one of theTeeds is put 

 in at one corner, and the eye-Iid kept clofe over it, 



^inpving the feed gently along the ey^, \^hStevef hap- 



' pens^'^o.^^e there will ftick to the feed, an^ fo be brought 

 out. ^rTKe virtues 'of this are fuppolet^ to be the 



' lame as the Garden Clary, but not quite fo powerful. 



\ -^"C^^/fcond fort grows^ naturally in the louth or 

 France ancl Italy Vtne lower leaves are upward of four 

 ^ncfte^ long, and not more than one Droao, regularly 

 finuafed on both fidesV in form of a Win^fed leaf j the 

 ftalks rife'about the fame height with the former, but 

 ./.ail the leaves upon the ftalks are finuated in the 

 ^^^p manner as the lower; the flowers are Imaller 

 than tfiofe ot the" Krft^ but grow in wKorled fpikes 

 like them. "This is a'perennial plant, which is y^eVy 

 %py> ^^d Wiir propagate itfelf in plenty bfy'tlie 

 fcattered feeds. Itisfeldom kept in gardens but for 



,the fake of variety. ... . , . - 



J.ne tmrd lort is a perennial plant, which grows na- 



' i - s • - 



niftied upward with whorls of fmall flowers, and are 

 terminated by'clufters of fmall' leaves, which in one 



are red, in another blue, arid a third green, \vhich
