The fifth is nearly of similar growth in the stem, and the leaves 

 have much resemblance; but the four longer filaments are toothed in 

 the middle within, and the two shorter ones put out from their base 

 a lance-shaped scale, the length of the germ. The petals are very 

 small, scarce apparently emarginate, yellow, but growing white 

 with age. Silicle slightly emarginate, with two seeds in each cell. It 

 is found wild in Austria. 



The sixth is very like the last in stem, leaves, and petals, but is 

 more decumbent, and has lance-ovate leaves. The filaments have 

 no teeth, but the two solitary ones have a bristle on each side, 

 not growing to the filament, but inserted into the receptacle. Sili- 

 cles ovate, scarcely compressed, more downy. It is found in 

 France, &c. 



The seventh species grows more erect, having a shrubby stalk, 

 which sends out a few lateral branches towards the top, with oblong 

 hoary leaves. The flowers grow in small clusters at the extremities 

 of the branches. It seldom continues longer than two years in Eng- 

 land , and in a warm, dry situation, will live in the open air. It is 

 found in Spain, &c. 



In the eighth, the stems are woody, filiform, diffused, and hairy, 

 the older ones having the bases of the petioles toothleted, and are 

 flexuose. The leaves are lanceolate, with a strong angle or two ou 

 each side, as it were deltoid, green, with a few hairs. The raccmo 

 is simple, few-flowered: the flowers resemble those of the Stock Gilli- 

 flower, and are of a purple colour; the calyx is oblong, closed, and 

 gibbous at the base. It has been found in the Levant. 



In the ninth species, the branches are trailing: the leaves oblong, 

 hoary, rough to the touch, and alternate. The flowers are produced 

 in small clusters at the extremities of the branches, and are of a 

 dark yellow colour. Four of the filaments are bifid at the top; the 

 two others have a toothlet at the base. It grows naturally upon 

 rocks in Burgundy, and some other parts of France, &c. 



Culture. The propagation of these plants may be effected in 

 different ways. It may be accomplished in all the sorts by means of 

 seeds; and in most of the kinds by slips and cuttings from the
