I found this plant in the road thro* Cambridge- hill. The leaves are round and 

 fucculent, and all difpofed about the bottom of the ftalk, which rifes generally to the 

 height of fixteen or twenty inches above the root. It is a beautiful plant, and 

 grows in a gravelly foil in that place*

The creeping narrow-leafed Anacampferos. 



« This plant is cultivated in many of the gardens about Kingjlon, where it has 

 been introduced, on account of its conflant green nefs, and the frequent (hooting of 

 its flowers. It is a native of the Keys, or fmaller Tandy iflands beyond Port-Royal; 

 and grows in fpreading tufts, or beds, about the root. All the parts of the plant 

 are very bitter, and frequently ufed by the poorer fort of people as a flomachic, and 

 provocative of the menfes. It roots from the lower joints, and is very eafily pro- 

 pagated j but thrives befl in a warm rich foil.
