tVG\Jh^i Bugle. 

 There are feveral Varieties of 

 this Plant, fame of which are cul- 

 tivated in Botanick Gardens : But 

 as they are Plants of no great Beau- 

 ty or Ufe, fo I fliall pais them over 

 here, and only obfervey that two 

 Varieties of this Plant are very 

 common in moifl: Meadows in Eng- 

 land-y thefe two are indifferently 

 ufed in Medicine, and cali'd in the 

 Shops ConfoUda Media, or the Mid- 

 dle Confound. 



BULBOCASTANUxM i Earth- 

 Kuts. 



This is an Umbelliferous Plant, 

 which is found wild in many Parts 

 o^EngUnd, and may be propagated 

 by fowing the Seeds, as foon as 

 they are ripe, in a moifl Soil. 

 BULBOCODIUM. 



Tht Characiers are,- 

 The llcivers confifl of cm Leaf, 

 and are divided into fix Segments, 

 being in Shape like the Crocus llow- 

 er; the Leaves are very long and 

 narrow ; the Tkoot conjifls of folid 

 Btilbs, one over the other, which 

 are dofely join'd. 



We have but one Species of this 

 J*lant in the Engliflj Gardens, which 

 isj _ . 



Bulbocodium; Crocifolium ; fiore 

 fnrvo vicldceo. T. Cor. Bulboco- 

 din?n, with Leaves like the Saffron 

 and fmall Violet-colour'd Flowers. 



This Pbnt is cultivated after the 

 Manner of the Spring Crocus's, viz>, 

 by parting its Bulbs, or fowing 

 the Seeds; It is commonly three 

 or four Years before it comes to 

 flower from Seed ; but as it in- 

 creafes but flowly by the Root, fo 

 we muil: fow the Seeds, if we in- 

 tend to have a Stock of this Plant : 

 It flowers in April, and the Seeds 

 are ripe in June, and fhould be 

 fown foon after in Pots of com- 

 mon Earth, where they fhould re- 



B u 



main two Years undifturb'd, aira 

 then may be planted out into z 

 Border at about three Inches fquare, 

 where they may Hand to flov/er : 

 It is alfo very probable that fome 

 other Colours may be obtain'd by 

 lowing the Seeds, as we find is 

 often the Cafe with mo ft other 

 Bulbs when rais'd from Seeds. 



BUPHTHALMUMi Ox-Eye. 

 The Characters are ; 



The -whole Face of the Flant is 

 like Tanjy : The Flowers, which are 

 radiated, are for the mofl part pro- 

 duced fimply : The Florets of the Disk 

 are feparated with an imbricated 

 little Leaf. 



The Species are ; 



1. Bui'HTHALMuM; tanacetl 7ni- 

 noris folio. C. B. The common 

 Ox-Eye, with Leaves like Tanfy. 



2. BuphtHalmum ,' Orientate : 

 tanaceti minoris folio ; fiore luted 

 amplijfimo, T. Cor, The Eaftera 

 Ox-Eye, with large yellow Flow- 

 ers. 



3. Buphthalmum ; Orient ale j 

 tanaceti minoris folio ; flore alba 

 ampUj/imo. T. Cor, The Eaflern 

 Ox-Eye, v/ith large white Flow- 

 ers. 



The firfi of thefe Plants is men- 

 tion'd by Mr. Ray as a Native of 

 England; but is rarely found wild 

 with us. The other two were 

 found by Monfieur Tournefort, m 

 the Levant. Thefe are propagated 

 by fowing their Seeds in March, 

 in a Bed oi light Earth i arrd when 

 they are come up, may be tranf- 

 plated i-nto Borders of the Fiower- 

 Garden , or in little Wildernefs 

 Knots. Thefe Plants do continue 

 flowering alm.oft all the Summer 

 thro' -, for which they dcfcrve 3 

 Place in every good Garden. The 

 Flowers are very proper to gather 

 for Flower-pots, to adorn Rooms 

 and Chimnies m theSummer-feafon;
