There is but one Species of this 

 Plant in England at prelent, that I 

 know of, which is, 



Cap PARIS; fpinofa-^ fruBu minor e 

 folio rot undo. C. J5. The fmall 

 fruited prickly Caper, with round 

 Leaves. 



This Shrub chiefly delights in 

 Rubbifh, and commonly grows up- 

 on old Walls and Buildings, and is, 

 with Difficulty, kept in Gardens, 

 although hcus'd in Winter: Where- 

 as there is a Bufli of this kind, now 

 growing in a Hole ot a decay'd 

 Wall, in the Gardens of Camden- 

 Houfe at Kcnjington, which hath 

 endured feveral Winters without 

 any Shelter or Covering, and an- 

 nually produces many beautiful 

 Flowers, and fometimes, in good 

 Scafons, will produce Seeds, tho' 

 I don't remember ever to have feen 

 them perfectly ripe. 



The Seeds of this Plant m.ay be 

 eafily obtain'd from Tholoufe or 

 Leghorn, and may be fown upon 

 old Walls and Buildings, where they 

 will infinuate their Roots between 

 the Bricks, and endure for many 

 Years. The Buds of thefe Flowers, 

 before they open, are pickled for 

 Eating.

two, and the lowermcfl intd many 

 Segments ; the Tube of the Flower is 

 bent, fomewhat refembling a Huntf

The firft, fecond, and third Sorts 

 of Honeyfuckles are found growing 

 in the Hedges, in many Parts of 

 England : Indeed, the third Sort 

 is feldom found, and I believe is 

 no more than an accidental Variety 

 of the two former. I found one 

 Plant of this Kind in the Woods 

 near Bulwich, which I planted in 

 the Phyiick-Garden, where it now 

 grows, and many of the Branches
