often purple ; panicle racemcd : leaves opposite, 

 wi'itiklecl, hairy, veiny, ami u'riiikiccl lil<e Sage, 

 somewhat glutinous, slrong-smciling, biller : 

 the flowers are in pairs, on long opposite naked 

 racemes, peiliceiied. It is a native of Europe 

 and Morocco, flowering from July to Septem- 

 ber. It is used sometimes as hops in beer. 



The third is a perennial plant, very like the 

 second, but does not creep at the root as that 

 does : the stalks are erect : the leaves arc white 

 on their under side, and deeply serrate : the 

 flowers yellow in terminating racemes. It is 

 observed by Marshall, that the plant from Cana- 

 da has narrower leaves, equally serrate, tomcn- 

 tose beneath, flat : the spike is composed of 

 w horls or scattered flowers, with a very small 

 braete under each. But the garden plant has 

 Linger wrinkled leaves, unequally senate, scarcely 

 .pubescent beneath ; and flowers in a subspiked 

 raceme, of six flowered, six-!caved whorls, with 

 serrate bractes. It is a native of North Ame- 

 rica, flowering in August and September. 



The fourth species, according to Mdlcr, has 

 the root composed of many woody fibres, which 

 S])read wide ; hence arise several weak, trailing, 

 woody stalks, eight or nine inches long, send- 

 ini>' out many branches : the leaves are small, 

 of a deep green : the flowers white, appearing 

 in .luneand Julv; but seldom succeeded by seeds 

 in this clunate. It is a native of Germany. 

 There is a variety with much smaller leaves, 

 hoary on their under side. 



The fifth has- slender shrubby stalks, which 

 trail close upon the iiround ; they have a purple 

 bark, and are covered with white hairs : tlie 

 leaves are round at the top, but at their base are 

 contracted in form of a wedge, so as to resem- 

 ble at first sight the leaves of Ground-ivy, but 

 they are hairy, and of a thicker consistence : 

 the flowers are collected in round bunches at the 

 end of the branches : the corolla is large; and 

 one half of it is purple, the other white. It 

 flowers great part of the summer, but seldom 

 produces seeds in this climate. It grows natu- 

 rally on the Pyrenean mountains. 



The sixth species has the stems suft'ruticose, 

 round, procumbent: the whole plant tomentose 

 and hoary : the leaves are oblong, lanceolate or 

 almost linear : the flowers sessile, close and 

 lyin<'- over each other, small: bractes the length 

 of the calyx : corolla yellow : the middle seg- 

 ment concave, entire. It is a native of the 

 South of Europe, the Levant, &c. 



There are several varieties : as Common Yellow 

 Foley, which has the stalks rather herbaceous 

 and trailing, about six tnches long and hoary : 

 leaves wooHy, about half an inch long, some 

 wedge-shaped, others oblong, ending in obtuse 



T E U 



points, and crenate towards their ends : the 

 flowers collected in obloua; thick spikes at tlie 

 end of the branches, of a deep yellow colour, 

 and appearing at the beginning of June. 1 his 

 grows naiurallv in Spain. 



The Narrow -leaved Yellow Poley, which has 

 woodv stalks, erect, branching, and covered 

 with a hoarv.down, rising six or eight inches 

 high: the leavea linear, woolly, about halt an 

 inch long, having sometimes two of three slight 

 indentures im their edges : the flowers collected 

 in roundish spikes at the end of the branches ; 

 thev are briglit yellow, have woolly calyxes, and 

 appear in June and July. It grows naturally in 

 Spain and Portugal. 



'Ihe While Poley, which has the stems a toot 

 lono- and trailing : 'the leaves are a little cottony, 

 enlne on the sides, but toothed at die end : tliii 

 flowers are preltv large, white tinged^ a little 

 with purple. It it a native of the South ot 

 Fr.iiice. There is also the Purple Poley. 



The seventh is shrubby, branched at the base : 

 the branches round, tomentose, erect : the 

 leaves sessile, linear -lanceolate, obtuse, often 

 ternate: the flowers corymbed, headed, close; 

 calyxes villose-tomentose : the corolla small, 

 pale vellow or white. It has tlie habit ot Onga- 

 num'Majorana, but is tomentose, and has nar- 

 row leaves. It is a native of Trance, Sec. 



There is a variety winch has an erect branch- 

 ing stalk, which rises a foot high ; the lower 

 part becomes woody, but the upper is herlia- 

 ccous : the leaves are linear-lanceolate, about 

 an inch long, crenate, of a pretty thick consist- 

 ence;, and a little woolly: the flowers collected 

 in a corymb at the end of the branches, white, 

 appearing in Julv and August. 



The erghtli species has ligneous procumbent 

 slender downv stems, lying on the ground : the 

 leaves in clusters ; the flowers reddish, collected 

 into small heads at the ends of the branches ; 

 coming out in June and July. It is a native of 

 Spain. 



'Ihe ninth has a shrubby branching stalk, 

 risino- six or eiglit feet high, an<l covered with 

 a hoary bark: the leaves opposite, ovate, sessile 

 or on verv short petioles, near an inch long, and 

 half an inch broad, smooth and of a shining 

 green above, and hoary beneath : the flowers are 

 axillary from the upper part of the branches, 

 one oti each side at a joint, on short peduncles. 

 A native of Spain, &c., flowering in February. 



There is a variety which is a little more 

 branched, and has smaller shorter leaves : the 

 flowers are paler, the stamens somewhat longer, 

 the anthers smaller and brown, whereas in the 

 larger sort they are violet : and another wUii 

 yariegated leaves.
