of Variety : But it being of no great 

 Beauty or Ufe, is very feldom cul- 

 tivated in other Gardens. The 

 Seeds of this Plant fliould be fown 

 foon after ripej for if kept until 

 Spring, they feldom fucceed fb 

 well. It loves a light dry Soil: 

 and if the Seeds are permitted to 

 fcatter upon the Ground, they will 

 come up again, and require no far- 

 ther Culture.

The Root is Annual: The Leaves 

 are like thofe of Fennel : The Seeds 

 are/mail, long, narrow, and crook- 

 ed j trvo of which fucceed each 

 Flowery as in the other umbelliferous

There is but one Species of this 

 Plant at prefent known in England, 

 which is.

 min. 



This Plant is propagated for 

 Sale in the Ifland o^ Malta, where 

 it is call'd Cumino aigro, i. e. hot 

 Cummin. But Anife, which they 

 alfo propagate in no lefs Quantity, 

 they call Cumino dolce, i. e. fweet 

 Cummin. So that many of the old 

 Botaniftsweremiftaken, when they 

 made two Species of C/^»2wi??, viz. 

 acre, and dulce. 



The Seeds of this Plant are us'd 

 in Medicine, which are brought 

 from the above-mention 'd Place j 

 for the Plant is too tender to be 

 cultivated to any Advantage in Eng- 

 land : I have fown the Seeds feveral 

 times in the Fhyfch-Garden, which 

 have come up very well and grown 

 to be four or five Inches high; 

 but have conftantly decay'd, with- 

 out producing any good Seeds. If 

 any Perfon is inclin'd to cultivate 

 a little of this Plant for Curiofity, 

 ,t.fee befl Method is^ to ibw the 



c Y 



Seeds early upon a very moderate 

 Hot-bed i and when the Plants aro 

 come up pretty ftrong, they may 

 be tranfplanted into a light Soil, at 

 about four or five Inches Diflance, 

 where they may probably produce 

 good Seeds.
