Rocky Places, fo they fhould be 

 pretty much confin'd in their Roots ; 

 for if the Pots are too big, the 

 Plants, if they don't rot, will make 

 but fmall Progrefs therein. 



The fir ft of theie Sorts is by many 

 learned Authors fuppos'd to be the 

 true Eiiphorbium of the Ancients j 

 though 1 believe, what we now 

 ufe, is taken from more Species ot 

 Plants than one. And I am credi- 

 bly inform'd by a very curious Gen- 

 tleman who liv'd many Years in 

 the Canaries, 1 hat the greateit Part 

 of the Euphorb'mm us'd in Englandy 

 came from thence, and is produced 

 from the fecond Sort. And by 

 carefully Jooking over ibme of this 

 Drug in a Shop, I found feveral Spines 

 amongft it, which exadtly agreed 

 with thofe of that Plant. 



1 he twelfth Sort is by fome fup- 

 pos'd to be an Antidote to the 

 Euphorbium-, but with how much 

 J u (lice I can't fay : However, as it 

 has been by mofl Authors ranged 

 amongft thofe Plants, I thought 

 proper to continue it there j tho* 

 indeed it has little Affinity with 

 them in its outward Appearance, 

 nor is its Juice milky or hot : But 

 as it hath not as yet produc'd any 

 Flowers in Europe, £o we can't tell 

 how to difpofe it under a particular 

 Genus, which may be more fit for 

 it than this to which it is at pre- 

 fent fix'd. 



This Plant requires a lefs Degree 

 of Heat i^ Winter, and to be bftener 

 water'd ^han any of the other Kinds, 

 and is niuch ealierincreas'd, where- 

 by it is more common than the 

 others, and is lefs elfeem'd, as 

 being very difficult to reduce to any 

 regular Figure. 



ihe eleventh Sort is one of the 

 moll beautiful, and by far the mcfl 

 rare of any of the Species, and is 

 only to be found at prefent in two 



F A 



or three very curious Gardens in 

 England, T his is very difficult to 

 preferve, as alfo to increafe ; for 

 the Cuttings, if they are not well 

 dry'd before they are planted, will 

 certainly rot. 



The firfl is alfo a very beautiful 

 Plant, and is pretty rare : But as it 

 is eafiiy propagated, fo it will foon 

 become more common in England^ 

 as will alfo the third Sort, which 

 is at prefent lefs common thaa 

 many of the others. 



But the fecond is a Plant of a 

 wonderful Stru6lure; the Branches 

 coming out from every Side ot the 

 main Stem, and turning upwards, 

 do very much refemble the Branch'd 

 Candieflicks in Churches •. This 

 is pretty common in England, and 

 has been an old Inhabitant of the 

 EnglijJj Gardens.

There are feveral Varieties of 

 thefe two Sorts of Beans, v/hich 

 differ either in Colour or Sizej but 

 as thefe are only feminal Variations,
