354 GARDEN PLANTS 



Abbey '.^ We know that Tuggy died before 1633, when his widow 

 was keeping up the garden, but he is mentioned by Tradescant in 

 1629-30, see p. 331. A Richard Tuggy and Edward Morgan 

 appear in 1657 as co-signatories to a letter printed by W. Coles 

 at the beginning of his Adam in Eden. 



On the other hand, Edward Morgan has to some extent been 

 confused- with Hugh Morgan, 'the Queen's Apothecary' and 

 'a curious conserver of rare simples', who had a garden near 

 Coleman Street, where he had a tree of Ccltis mistralis L. Cole- 

 man Street was of course in the City, leading north from Lothbury. 

 Hugh Morgan introduced Clematis viticella in 1569, and is quoted 

 by Lobel as having also introduced to English horticulture 



Althea arborea Olbia in Galloprovinc. Adv. p. 294. 



Buphthalmon, Oculus bovis, Millefolii folio, Chrysantheini flore. Adv. 



P- 343- 

 Cicercula altera, an Phaseolus Diosc ?. Adv. p. 394. 



Mount (see p. 2^6) mentions Maize and the Gladiolus in Morgan's 

 garden in 1578. A panegyric advertisement of Hugh Morgan 

 addressed to Dr. Bayley ' by your assured loving friend B. G/ and 

 dated Alvingham, 14 Aug. 1587, is bound up with the Bodleian 

 copy of Walter Bayley's Discourse of the three Peppers. Obviously 

 Hugh belonged to a generation before Edward Morgan. 



xiv. Lists of English Garden Plants wanted by Dr. 

 Robert Morison, a correspondent of Dr. William 

 How, FOR the Royal Botanic Garden of Blois, c. 1651. 



These three lists were evidently enclosed in a begging letter 

 from an unnamed correspondent, endorsed ' For his much respected 

 friend Dr. V. How '. They are written on 5 leaves, measuring 

 II inches x 4 inches. The writer was evidently exceedingly anxious 

 to obtain the plants. Of the 51, 92, and 70 plants included in 

 three lists, 213 in all, How appears to have been able to supply 

 the 42 indicated by numerals and crosses in his handwriting. It 

 will be noticed that these include a proportion of new plants 

 from Virginia * not yet described '. 



A comparison with the Morison MSS. in the Oxford Botanic 

 Garden has convinced me that these lists are in the hand of 

 Dr. Robert Morison, a pupil of the Frenchman Vespasian Robin 



' Bobart MS. note in his Cat. of Oxford Garden at Oxford.
