Calves-Snout or Snapdragon 



A 



ANTIRRHINUM. 



Common wild Plant in many Parts of Eu- 

 rope^ and Is very frequent in our Gardens, and 



upon the Walls of Gardens : Its natural S 

 is on Hills among barren Rocks, and nothing 

 comes fo near that, as the Top of an old Wall 

 with us : The Seeds are light and are eafily car- 

 ried thither by the Wind, and they never fail to 

 llrike, and the Plant flourilhes. It is two Peet 

 high, the Stalks are round, thick, firm, and to- 

 lerably upright, but generally a little bent to- 

 wards the Bottom ; the Leaves are very nume- 

 rous ; they are oblong, narrow, not indented at 

 the Edges, blunt at the Ends, and of a bluifh 

 reen Colour. The Flowers are large and red, 



_aey ftand in a kind of loofe Spikes upon the Tops 

 of the Stalks; the Root is white and oblong. 



The frefli Tops are ufed ; an Infufion of them 

 works by Urine, and has been recommended by 

 fome in the Jaundice, and in other Difeafes arifing 

 from Obflrudions of the Vifcera ; but we have 

 fo many Engl'fi Plants that excel in this Particu- 

 lar, and the Tafte of the Infufion is fo far from 

 agreeable, that it is not worth while to have Re- 



courfe to it.
