vers Parts of hngUnH, The Flow- 

 ers of this Plant appear in the Be- 

 ginning; of March\ and after they 

 are pail, the green Leaves come up, 

 and grow to ne very large. 



The' fecond Sort was found by 

 Mr. Jacob Bobart in Oxfordfiire, 

 and lent to the Fhyj'ick-Garden at 

 Chelfea t This differs greatly from 

 the former in its manner of Flower- 

 ing j for the Flower-ftems of this 

 Sort rife near two Feet high, 

 and the Flowers grow upon long 

 Footftalks; whereas the Stems of 

 the common Sort do feldom rife 

 above eight or ten Inches high, 

 and the Flowers do clofely furround 

 the Stalks. 



The other two Sorts are pre- 

 fer v'd in Boranick Gardens for Va- 

 riety; but as they have little Beauty, 

 fo they are feldom propagated in 

 oiher Gardens : They do all of them 

 increife greatly by their creeping 

 Roots, and, if piac'd ia a moiil 

 Soil, will in a fliort time over-run 

 a hrge Compafs ot Ground.

But 2.1 they are Plants of little Beau- 

 ty or Ufe, fo it would be needlefs 

 to enumerate their feveral Varieties 

 in this Place. 



The firft Sort here raention'd is 

 not very common in England, be- 

 ing only to be found in fome cu- 

 rious Gardens : But the fecond Sort 

 (wh^ch is directed to be ufed in 

 Medicine) is found wild in watery 

 Places in feveral Parts of England. 



Thefe Plants may be cultivated 

 by fowing their Seeds on a moiH: 

 Soil in the Autumn foon after they 

 are ripe, in which Place they will 

 come flrong the fucceeding Springs 

 when they fhould be carefully weed- 

 ed, and drawn out where they arc 

 too clofe, otherwife they will draw 

 each other up very weakj and the 

 Autumn following they may be 

 taken up, and tranfpUnted where 

 they are to remain, in which Place 

 they fhould be planted at leaft two 

 Feet afunderj for their Roots will 

 grow very large, and branch out 

 greatly, when they have acquir'd 

 Strength. The fecond Year after 

 fowing, they will produce Flowers 

 and Seeds, but the Roots will abide 

 many Years.
