This little plant grows pretty common in Clarendon- Park, and is fometimes found 

 in the Savannas about Spanijh Town. It rifcs from a fmall fibrous root, and (hoots 



in an oblique direction, but feldom exceeds ten or fourteen inches in length. 



The 





fialk is (lender, and throws out a few fmall branches towards the top. The leaves 

 are fmall and opponte, and the flowers rife fingle from the intermediate fpace be- 

 tween the leaves, on the one fide or the other, but feldom or never on both. I have 

 called it after Dr. Parfons, who has publifhed a treatife on the feeds of vegetables, 

 and many other curious remarks on different parts of natural hiflory.
