flowers in June and July. The flowers are in fhort ovated heads, 

 of a rcddifh brown ; beautiful, beyond expreffion, when held 

 up to the light under a bright fun. 



21. The leffer Burnet ( I) is plentiful in mountainous paftures, 

 efpecially in a limeflone-foil. It is in great abundance in the paf- 

 ture at 'Long Rigge, near Nunivick^ by the road-fide. It is ufed in 

 the fpring for cleaning and purifying the blood, either by infu- 

 fion or decoction, or eaten as a fallad. It is a mild and gentle 

 healer of wounds, flops hemorrhages, both internal and ex- 

 ternal *.

22. Nut ant flowered Geum, or purple Mount ain-A*v ens (m). On the 

 banks and ftrands of alpine brooks, and on the borders of woods, 

 plentifully. We often find it with a beautiful double flower, of 

 the fame colour as the fingle one, purple on the outfide, and a 

 pale red within, but it is only an accidental variety, blowing 

 double not above a feafon. The feed is plumofe, and beautiful 

 in the fun.
