The firft fort grows naturally in India, where it rifes 

 with a woody ftalk five or fix feet high, fending out 

 manyflender branches covered with a brown bark, gar- 

 nifhed with oval leaves, placed fometimes oppofite, 

 and at others there are three or four at each joint-. 

 The flowers terminate the branches in clufl:ers j they 

 have very long flender tubes, are cut into four oval 

 fegments at the top, and are of a deep red colour. 

 The fecond fort grows alfo in India ; this hath a woody 

 flalk rifing fix or feven feet high, fending out weak 

 branches, garniflied with oval fpear-fhaped leaves 

 placed oppofite, fitting clofe to the branch ; the flow- 

 ers terminate the branches in fmall clufl:ers ; they have 

 long flender tubes, divided into four fegments at the 

 top, and are white, without fcent.

Wild Jafmine. This rifes with a flirubby fl:alk four 

 or five feet high, fending out flender branches op- 

 t)ofite, which are garniflied with oval fpear-fhaped 

 leaves placed oppofite, which are fix inches long, and 



in a loufc fpike, they are white, and have a fcent like 

 Jafmine. 



Thefe plants are propagated by feeds, when they can 

 be procured from the countries where tlicy grow na- 

 turally, for they do not perfcd: any feeds in England. 

 They fliould be fown irt fmall pots asfoon as they ar- 

 rive, and plunged into a hot-bed; if they arrive in 

 autumn or winter, the pots may be plunged in the 

 tan-bed in the fl:ove, between the other pots of plants, 

 fo will take up little room ; but when they arrive in 

 the fpring, it will be befl: to plunge them in a tan- 

 bed under frames ; the feeds will fometimes come up 

 in about fix weeks, if they are quite frefli j otherwife 

 they will lie in the ground four or five months, and 

 fometimes a whole year, therefore the earth Ihould 

 not be thrown out of the pots till there is no hopes 

 of their grov/ing ; when the plants come up, and are 

 fit to remove, they fliould be each planted in a fepa- 

 rate fmall pot, filled with light earth, and afterward 

 treated in the manner direftcdfor the Coffee-tree. 

 They may alfo be increafcd by cuttings during the 

 fummer months, and planted in fmall pots plunged 

 into a moderate hot bed, covering them clofe either 

 with bell or hand~glafl!es to exclude the external air, 

 fliading them carefully from the fun during the 'heat 

 of the day, until they have put out good roots, when 

 they fliould be parted, and each put into a feparite 

 pot, treating them as th« feedling plants.

The firfl: fort grows naturally upon rocks and in barren 

 foils in Virginia and Penfylvania, where it rifes with 

 a branching fl:alk to the height often or twelve feet, 

 garniflied with very flriflT leaves, which are two inches 

 ■long and one broad, of a lucid green on their upper 

 fide, 'but of a pale green on their under; they 



>'have ftiort foot-ftalks, and ftahd without order round 



the branches I betweeh thefe the buds are formed for 



- thenext year's flowers, at the extremity of the branches; 



■thefe budsfwell during the autumn and ipring months, 



-''■ till the beginning of June, when the flowers burft out 

 from their empalements^ forming a round bunch (or 



■ '>^oryrnbus) fitting very clofe to the branch ;' they are 

 of a pale blufti colour, the outfide of the petal is of 

 a Peach colour. The flower has but one petal, whofe 



r'bafc is tubulous, but is cut into five roundifli feg- ' 



ments^ ftudded with purple loots, which are promi- 



'tieint; after the flowers are paft, the germ'<^n in the 



■ center becomes ah oval capfule, crowned by the per- 



'- manent ftyle, having five cells, which are full of very 

 fmall feeds. -This flirub in its native foil connnues 

 flowering great part of the fummer, and is one of the 

 greateft ornaments to the country; but as yet it is not 

 fo well naturalized to our climate as could be wiflied, 

 though the plants are not injured by the cold, and 

 feme of them have flowered feveral years paft in the 

 ^Chelfea garden. \ ••'
