Hogweed 



This plant grows in every part of the Savannas -, the (talk moots from an 



flefhy root, 



flowers are red, and difpofed in the form of 



rifing branches. The weed is frequently gathered for the hogs, and thought to be 



very fattening and wholefome food for them ; but they feldom eat the root.

The creeping branched Hogweed with fiicculent leaves. 



This plant is common in the low lands, and grows every where among the bumes 



in the Savannas, about Kingfto?i ; it runs frequently three or four yards in length, and 



throws out a number of ramified branches as it creeps : the leaves are fucculent and 

 of a pale greenim colour, and the flowers of a dirty yellow : the fruit is oblong and 

 echinated round the top, but fmooth below. I have been induced to place this 

 genus here becaufe I have always found the parts of the flowers to be conftantly and 

 regularly the fame in thefe climates, tho' they are frequently obferved to vary in 

 the European gardens.
