ARTEMISIA i Mugwort. 

 The CharaBers arc ; 



The Flojvers and Fruit of this 

 Tlant are very like thofe of the 

 Worm-rcood, but grow ereci upon the 

 Branches. The Florets are of a pnr- 

 ■plijfj Colour 'y and the Leaves, for 

 the mofl party terminate in fJjarp 

 Foints, are cut into many Seg7nentSy 

 find are of a dark Green on the up- 

 ■per Side, and hoary on the under 

 Side, 



The Species are ; 



I. Artemisia i vulgaris, major, 

 caule i^flore purpurajcentibus. C. B, 

 Common great Mugwort, with pur- 

 plifn Stalks and Flowers. 



1. Artemisia 5 vulgaris, major, 

 caule ex viridi albica72te. Tourn. 

 Common great Mugwort, with 

 whitifli green Stalks. 



3. Artemisia i foliis ex luteova- 

 riegatis. H. R. P. The yellow 

 ftrip'd Mugwort. 



4. Artemisia i foliis ex albo va- 

 riegatis. The white ftrip'd Mug- 

 wort. 



The fir ft of thefe Species is very 

 common upon dry Banks and 

 Dung-hills in divers Parts of Eng- 

 land, and is rarely admitted into a 

 Garden. The fecond Sort is a Va- 

 riety of the firft, which is rarely 

 found in England : But the third 

 and fourth Sorts are only prelerv'd 

 in Gardens for the Beauty of their 

 variegated Leaves. Thefe Sorts 

 may alfo be propagated by parting 

 of their Roots either in Spring or 

 Autumn, and will grow in almoft 

 any Soil or Situation ; but as they 

 are fubjed: to fpread very far, and 

 foon Gver-run a large Spot of 



A R 



Ground, fo they fhould be confin'J, 



by cutting off their lide Shoots to 

 keep them within Compals^ nor 

 fhould they be planted too near to 

 other Plants, left, by their fpread- 

 ing Roots, they fliould over-bear 

 and deftroy them. 



The firft Species of this Plant is 

 ufed in Medicine : The Plant is 

 commonly gathered by the Herb- 

 women in the Fields, and brought _ 

 to the Markets : It is from one 

 Species of Mugwort, (and not im- 

 probably the firftj that the famous 

 Moxa, which is ufed to burn for 

 curing the Gout, is taken, it being 

 the Lanugo or downy Subftance 

 which adheres to the under Part 

 of the Leaf. 



ARTICHOKE. 

 The Characters are; 



It is very like the Thiftle, but 

 hath large fcaly Heads^ which are 

 (Jjap'd fomewhat like the Co72e of the 

 Pine-Tree ; the Bottom of each Scale, 

 as alfo at the Bottom of the Florets^ 

 is ^ thick flefloy eatable Subjlance* 

 The Species are ; 



1. Cinara; hortenfls; foliis ACU' 

 leatis e^ non aculeatis. C. B. The 

 Garden Artichoke, with prickly 

 and fmooth Leaves. 



2. Cinara; hortenfis'y non acu- 

 leata, capite [ubrubente. H. R. P. 

 Garden Artichoke, without Prickles, 

 and reddifh Heads. 



3. Cinara i fylvejlris, Boetica. 

 Cluf. Cur. Foft. The wild Arti- 

 ch oke of B&tia . 



I thought proper to introduce 

 this Clafs under the Name Ar- 

 tichoke, which being the generally 

 receiv'd Name of the only valu- 

 able Species, it might be better 

 here plac'd than under the Latin 

 Name. 



ARTICHOKE. 



There is at prefent but one Sort 

 ot Artichoke cultivated in the Gar- 

 dens
