This little plant is frequent in the dry Savannas about Spanijh Town and King* 

 Jlon : it grows in beds, and fpreads a little upon the ground, but the flems feldom 

 exceed two or three inches in length : the leaves are difpofed pretty thick at the top 

 of the branches, and the flowers blow in the center of them. There is a fort of 

 cotton moots about the flowers, as the weed grows old, which in time fpreads over 

 moil parts of the plant.
