There are lev era! other Varieties 

 of this Plant, which are preferved 

 iri curious Botanick Gardens j but 

 as they are ot little Beauty or Ule, 

 £0 I Ihall omit mifhtioning them in 

 this Place. Thefe may be propa- 

 gated by fowing their Seeds in 

 March, upon a Bed of light frefh 

 Earth, in an open Situation, where 

 they may remain to flower and feed, 

 being careful to clear them from 

 Weeds, as alfo to pull up the Plants 

 where they come up too thick; 

 but they do not fucceed well if 

 tranfplanted, fo that they fliould 

 always remain where they are 

 fown. 



MYRRHIS; Sweet Cicely. 

 The Characiers are ; 



It is an umbeliferous Vlant, ■with

 Leaves, that are placed circularly, 

 and refl upon the Empalemmt i which 

 turns to A Fruit, composed of t-wo 

 Seeds, refembling a Bird's-bill, chan- 

 nelled and gibbous o?i one Side, but 

 jplaia on the other.

There are many more Sorts of 

 this Plant preferved in the Gardens 

 of fuch as are curious in Botany, 

 but as they are Plants of little Ufe 

 or Beauty, fo I thought it not ne^ 

 ceflary to enumerate them in this 

 Place. 



The firft mentidn'd is an abiding 

 Plant, which is fometimes ufcd in 

 Medicine : This may be propa- 

 gated by fowing the Seeds in Fe-^ 

 bruary, upon a Bed of light, rich 

 Earth, in a fliady Situation ; and 

 when the Plants come up, they 

 fhould be tranfplanted out into the 

 like rich Earth, in a moift fliady 

 Situatiotti at about two Feet afun^ 

 der, for they l^read very wide, and 

 take up much Room, (efpecially if 

 they are permitted to remain two 

 or three Years unremoved^ ; after 

 the Plants have taken Root they 

 will require no farther Care, but to 

 keep 'em clear from Weeds, and 

 they will endure feveral Years, and 

 produce great Quantities of Seeds, 

 By which, as alio by parting the 

 old Roots, they may be greatly in- 

 creas'd. 



The Seeds of the fccond Sort 

 are moft commonly fold in thg 

 Shops for thofe of the Daucus Cre-- 

 tieus ; but it is the third Sort which 

 u generally accounted the true 

 Daucus Creticus : The Seeds of 

 which are us'd in fome ot the ca- 

 pital Medicines of the Shops.
