The Parthenium Hysterophorus, though cultivated by 

 Philip Miller in 1728, being one of the fifty plants 

 annually delivered to the Royal Society from the Apothe- 

 caries' Garden at Chelsea, in pursuance of the will of Sir 

 Hans Sloane, will probably continue to be rarely met with 

 in our gardens, being scarcely an object of request, except 

 in the general collections of Botanical gardens ; and is 

 even in such not very easily preserved, being an annual, 

 and not always maturing its seeds with us. 



Native of Jamaica, where it goes by the name of Wild 

 Wormwood, and, according to Browne, is observed to have 

 much the same qualities as Feverfew ; also of Martinique 

 and Mexico. Flowers in July and August. Communicated 

 by Joseph Sabine, Esq. from the garden of the Horticultu- 

 ral society.
