as are very skilful in Botany \ but 

 this Sort is not very commonly 

 met with in England. 



y. Adsi>^thiuM5 Arborefcens, Lob. 

 Icon. 75-3. Tree Worm wood. 



The firft of thefe Sorts is very 

 common in Englaml, in the Roads 

 and upon Dunghills i but it is ailb 

 planted in Gardens, for common 

 Ufe: The fecond, third, and fourth 

 Sorts are only found in curious 

 Gardens of Plants. They are all 

 eafily raifed, by planting of Cut- 

 ting's and Slips in any of the Sum- 

 mer Months. The Roman and 

 Sea Wormwoods are great Creep- 

 ers at the Root, and will foon 

 fpread ov^er a large Piece of 

 Grcur.d. The Tree Wormvvood 

 rifes to be a Shrub five or lix 

 Foot high, and is kept in Gardens 

 as ci Rarity, ani was formerly 

 preierved in Green-houies, but 

 hath been found hardy enough 

 to endure our Winters abroad, if 

 planted in Places ihelter'd from 

 the Northern Winds: This Shrub 

 makes an agreeable Variety, in 

 fmall Quarters of Ever-Grcens or 

 Flowering Shrubsj the hoary L<\aves 

 which continue aU the Year frcih, 

 flrikc the Eye at a great Dillanre, 

 and have a good Effevfl indiverfify- 

 iiig the Profpeft : This Shrub is 

 ealily rais'd from Cuttings, planted 

 in any of the Summer Months, 

 (under ■"a-4-k4ge' or Wall) where 

 they may have only the Morning 

 Sun; and being frequently water 'd, 

 will take Root in a Month or fix 

 Weeks Time, when they may be 

 remov'd to any Places where they 

 are delign'd to- remain ; obferving 

 in this (as* in* many other Shrubs 

 and Plants' v^hich are Natives of 

 a warmer Climate) to place them 

 in a dry Situation: Wet, efpccially 

 in Winter, is the mofc deftruftive 

 to all thefe Sorts of Plants.

There are feveral other Varieties 

 menrion'd by Plumier, in his Cata- 

 logue of American Plants ; but as 

 thefe Plants have little Beauty, and 

 are chici4y preferved in the Gardens 

 of thofe only that are curious in 

 Botany, 1 fhall pafs them over with 

 bare naming, and only beg Leave 

 to obferve, That Mr. Bradley late 

 Profejsor, of Botany at Cambridge, 

 was greatly miuakcn, in faying it 

 grows wild in England ^ but it is 

 plain he knew not the Plant, for he 

 rakes it for the A.lthcia, or Mar Hi 

 Mallow.
