 The firft fort grows naturally in England, Ji>It^ly, 

 and other parts of Europe, and is the common Vibur- 

 num or Lantana oT theold botanifts.*^ The leaves 'of 

 this tree are heart-fhaped, nine inches long, and four 

 inches and a half broad j they are much veined, and 

 irregularly fawed on their edges, and are very woolly 

 on their under fide. The ftalks are woody, and rife 

 ^ near twenty feet high, fending out ftrong ligneous 

 branches on every fide, which are covered with, a light 

 coloured bark ; thefe are terminated by umbels of 

 -white flowers whofe fummits are red. The flower? ap- 

 ; pear in June, and are fucceeded by roundilh com- 

 prelTed berries, which turn firft to a bright red colour, 

 and are blact when ripe, inclofing one feed of the 

 famefhape. - v ->...-,. . ^ . '

 veined, and fawed on their ed!>,es, of a li:rht i.nccn 

 colour, and placed oppofite v.])on p:ecty Ln:r"rbot-

 the end of the branches-, they are wiiicc, and almofl 

 as large as thofe of the common lore i thefe appear the 

 latter end of June, but are nor fucceeded by feeds in 

 England. 



The fourth fort is the Lauruftinus with fmall leaves, 

 which are hairy on their under fidc; this plant is fo 

 well known as to need no defcription, but as it is f: 

 quently confounded with the next, it may be necefla- 

 ry to point out its diffcre-'ice. The leaves of this arc * 

 feldom more than two inches and a half long, and one 

 and a quarter broad -, they are rounded at their bafe, 

 but end in acute points ; they are veined and haiiy on 

 their under fide, and are not of fo lucid a green co- 

 lour on their upper fide. The umbels of flowers are 

 fmaller, and appear in autumn,, continuing all the 

 winter, and the plants are much hardier. 

 The fifth fort is commonly known in the nurfcry-^ar- 

 dens by the title of fliiningdeaved Lauruftinus. The 

 fl:alks of this rife higher, and the branches arc much 

 fl:ronger than thofe of the former fort. The bark is 

 fmoother, and turns of a purplifli colour -, the leaves 

 are larger, of a thicker confiftence, and of a lucid 



. green colour; the umbels are much larger, and fo 

 are the flowers ; thefe feldom appear till the fprinix, 

 and when the winters are ftiarp, the flowers are killed, 

 fo never open unlefs they are flickered. The plants 

 of this fort were formerly kept in tubs, and houfed 

 in winter ; and, when they were fo treated, made a 

 fine appearance early in the fpring • and in very mild 

 feafons, the plants in the open air do the fime. 

 There is a variety of this with variegated leaves, which 

 makes as good a figure as any of the fl:riped plar^ts 

 which are preferved in gardens. ' . 



1. ;The fixth fort is a native of North America, where it 



rifes to the height of ten or twelve feet, fending out 



branches on every fide their whole length ; thefe have 



.a frnooth piirplifli bark ; they are garnilhed with oval 



^ entire leaves, five inches long, and two inches and a 



they 



fta 



not unlike the flowers of Lauruftinus ^ thefe appear in 

 July, and arc fucceeded by berries which feldom ri- 

 pen in England. 



, There feems to be two forts of this in the gardens, one 

 of which comes froni the more northern parts of Ame- 

 rica, and flieds its leaves in winter; the other, v/hich 



fucceeded by berries which 



1 ne italks ot this are foft and pithy ; they branch out three or four lobes, fomewhat like thofe of the Ma- 



grows in Carolina and Virginia, is an evergreen, but 

 • both are fo much alike in fummer, as fcarce to be 



diftinguiflied. , 



The fcventh fort is the common Marfli Elder, which 

 grows natufally in marfliy grounds, and on tlie fides 

 of rivers in many parts of England, fo is not often 

 kept in gardens -,_ it is called by fome of the nurfery- 

 gardeners Guelder-rofe with flat flowers, to diftinguifn 

 it from the other, whofe flowers are globular. The 

 Marfti Elder is the original ipecies, and Guclder-rofe 



. IS a variety" which accidentally arofe from it. The for- 

 mer has a border of male flowers which are lar2:e, and 

 the middle of the umbel is compofed of hermaphro- 

 dite flowers, which are fucceeded by oval red berries ; 



. the latter has all male flowers of the fame fize and 

 fhape with thofe of the border of the firft, fo that 

 they fwell out into a round figure, which has occa- 



fioned ' ~ 



ball-tree 

 beauty 



during their continuance. 



It will rife to the height of eighteen or tvv-enty feet, if 

 it is permitted to iland. The ftem becomes large, 

 woody, and hard ; the branches come out oppoGre, 

 and are apt to grow irregular ; they have a gray bark. 

 The leaves are placed oppofite ; they are divided into 



\ 



fome country people giving it the tide of Snov/- 

 ?e. This fort is cultivated in gardens for the 



bottom 



The bark is of a 



pie : they are about three inches long, and two and a
