The creeping fea-ilde Knoxia 





This plant is pretty frequent near the fhore in the parifh of oY. George's, and runs 

 commonly three or four feet, or more along the ground, carting a few fpreading 

 branches from fpace to fpace as it creeps along : the leaves are oblong, pointed and 

 ftiflf, and the flowers few and fingle, and difpofed at the alas of the upper leaves.

1. 



The larger climbing Knoxia. 



I found this plant in the cooler mountains of Liguanee ; it is a climber, and rifes 

 frequently to the height of fix or feven feet, or- more: in the foregoing fpecies the 

 flower-cups are cut into four deep fegments at the margin, and remain tubular and 

 fwelling below j but in this, they are more open and campanulous towards the 

 bottom, and furnifhed, as it were, wijth four fmaller leaves at the top, which' increafe 

 gradually as the feeds ripen. The flowers and fructifications of both bear the dif- 

 tinguifhing marks of the Genus, tho' the latter are always covered by the cup at the 

 bottom, and frequently much higher.

This plant is common in the lower Savannas about. Kingfton-, it rifes gene- 



ht of fourteen or fixteen inches, and is 

 furnifhed from fpace to fpace with fimple lanceolated leaves, that ftand in an 

 oppofite order and embrace the* main flem : from the alas of thefe rife the flowers 

 which are generally white and numerous, and gathered into compact heads that 

 grow gradually larger and more diftinct as they draw nearer to the top.
