The fifth is nearly of similar growth in the stem, and the leaves 

 have much resemblance; but the four longer filaments are toothed in 

 liic middle within, and the two shorter ones put out from their base 

 a lance-shaped scale, the length of the gern). The petals are verj 

 small, scarce aj)parently emarginate, yellow, but growing white 

 with age. Silicic slightly emarginate, with two seeds in each cell. It 

 is found wild in Austria. 



'J'he sixth is very like the last in stem, leaves, and petals, but is 

 more decumbent, and has lance-ovate leaves. The filaments have 

 no teeth, but the two solitary ones iiave a bristle on each side, 

 not growing to the filament, but inserted into the receptacle. Sili- 

 cles ovate, scarcely compressed, more downy. It is Ibund in 

 France, &c. 



The seventh species grows more erect, having a shrubby stalk, 

 wliicli sends out a few lateral branches towards the top, with oblong 

 hoary leaves. 'I'he flowers grow in small clusters at the extremities 

 of the branches. It seldom continues longer tium two years in Eu"'- 

 land, and in a warm, dvy situation, will live in tlie open air. It is 

 found in Spain, &c. 



In the eighth, the stems are woody, filiform, diffused, and hairy, 

 the older ones having the bases of the petioles toothleied, and arc 

 flexuose. Tiie leaves are lanceolate, with a strong angle or two ou 

 each side, as it were dcitoid, green, with a i'ew hairs. The rac( nst, 

 is simple, few-flowered: the flowers resemble those of the Stock (:ilii. 

 fli>wer, aiid are of a pur])le colour; the calyx is oblong, closed, and 

 gibbous at the base. It has been found in the Levant? 



in tlic r.intli species, the branches are trailing: the leaves oblon« 

 hoary, rougli to t!ie tovieh, and alternate, '['lie tlcavers aic producctl 

 in small clusters at the extremities of the branches, and are cW" a 

 dark yellow colour. ] our of the filaments are biftl at the top; the 

 two others have a lootldet at the base. It grows naturally upon 

 rocks in i^urgundy, and some other parts of France, Sec.
