244 OF TREES AND PLANTS; 



the high Wood-houfe, or Weft-ivood, a mile from the weft boat, near 

 Hexham. The root is fibrous, black on the outfide, and yellow 

 within. It fends forth a fmgle round pedicle with a pinnated 

 leaf, formed of four or five pair of folioles, with a terminale 

 one, each fmall at the bafe of an elegant lunulated figure. A 

 little flalk rifes from the Al<s of the leaves, on which are numer- 

 ous peduncles, with greenifh-yellow flowerets. It flowers in 

 May. The fructifications are mature in June, like a white 

 powder.
