4. Cassida i Orientalisy folio 

 chamAilryos, fiore luteo. T. Cor. 

 Eaftern Skull-cap, with German- 

 der Leaves, and yellow Flowers. 



There are feveral other Varieties 

 of this Plant, which are prcierv'd 

 in curious Gardens ot Plants j but 

 thefe here mention'd are the moft 

 beautiful of them, and beft worth 

 prefer ving in curious Gardens, for 

 their Variety. 



They may be all propagated by 

 {owing their Seeds m an open Bed 

 of light Earth in Mar/h j and when 

 they come up, may be tranfplanted 

 cither into Pots, for the Conve- 

 niency of flickering them in Win- 

 ter, or into Borders under warm 

 South Walls, where, if the Soil is 

 dry, they will endure our common 

 Winters abroad very well, but in 

 hard Winters they are liable to be 

 deftroy'd. 



The fourth Sort is the hardiefl: 

 of them all, is alio the moft beau- 

 tiful ; it is very eafy to increafe 

 this Plant from Seeds, or by Cut- 

 tings j or from young Plants, which 

 may be obtain'd from the Branches 

 of the old ones which lie near the 

 Ground, and fbrikeout their Roots 

 from the Joints. 



The other three Sorts ripen their 

 Seeds tolerably well with us, from 

 which young Plants may be an- 

 nually obtain'd, and alfb by parting 

 tlieir Roots ; thefe generally die 

 down to the Surface after Seeding, 

 and frefli Shoots arife from the 

 Roots at the fame time, fo that 

 the Plants are never deftitute of 

 green Shoots.

 Thea-Tree ; vulgo. 



The firft of thefe Trees is har- 

 dy, and will endure our fevereft 

 Winters in the open Ground, after 

 they are become woody 5 therefore 

 it will be proper to flielter the 

 young Plants two or three Win- 

 ters while they are young i after 

 which time they may be tranf- 

 planted abroad in fome well fliel- 

 ter'd Situation, upon a light Soil, 

 where they will thrive exceedingly, 

 and in a tew Years produce Flow- 

 ers. This Tree feldom grows to 

 be very large, and therefore fhould 

 be planted among Trees of a mid- 

 dling Growth. The largeft of thefe 

 Trees which I have as yet feen in 

 England, is now growing in the 

 Gardens of that curious- and learned 

 Botanift Charles Duboife, Eiq; at 

 Mitcham in Surry, which is about 

 ten Feet high, and pretty thick in 

 the Stem ; this Tree Jiath ftood 

 abroad in an open Situation tor 

 feveral Years, relifting the fevereft 

 Winters, and hath flovver'd many 

 Years i but I don't remember ta 

 have heard of its producing any 

 Fruit. 



The fecond Sort is much ten- 

 derer than the former, and fhould 

 not be planted in the full Ground 

 until the Plants have acquir'd a 

 confiderable Strength ; nor fliould 

 they be planted in a Situation too 

 much cxpos'd to the cold Winds, 

 and muft have a dry fandy Soil : 

 This Sort differs from the former 

 in the Manner of producing its 

 Leaves, which are placed alternate- 

 ly on the Branches, whereas the 

 other produces its Leaves by Pairs 

 oppofite to each othjr. This is an 

 Ever-green, but the CaJpoberry-BuHi 

 flicds its Leaves in Winter*
