There are fcvcral other Species of 

 this Plant, which are prelerv'd in 

 Botanick Gardens for Variety j but 

 thofs here mcntion'd are the prin- 

 cipal Sorts cultivated in England. 



Thefe Plants are eafily propagated 

 by parting of their Roots in the 

 Spring before they begin to flioot, 

 obferving always to prclerve a Bud 

 to each Off-fct : They fhould be 

 planted in a frefh light Earth, where 

 they will thrive exceedingly i but if 

 it be over rich, it will deftroy their 

 Roots. The firfl: Sort is the mofl 

 common in F?2gland, and is what 

 the College has dircded for Medi- 

 cinal Ule. 



POLYPODIUM5 Polypody.

It is a Capillary Plant, with oblong 

 jagged Leaves, having a middle Rib, 

 which joins them to the Stalks run-

There are feveral other Species of 

 this P;anr, which are prelerv'd in 

 fome curious Botanick Gardens for 

 Variety j but as they are rarely cul- 



p o 



tivated in other Gardffis, ix>it isnot 

 worth while to enumerate them in 

 this Place. 



The firft Sort is that which is 

 us'd in Medicme, and is found grow- 

 ing upon old Walls and ihady Banks 

 in divers Parts of England. The 

 iecond feems to be only a Variety 

 of the firiT;, which differs therefrom 

 in being larger, and having ferrated 

 Leaves. The third Sort was brought 

 from Wales, where it grows in great 

 Plenty, and is the mofl: beautiful of 

 all the Sorts. Thefe Plants may be 

 propagated by parting of their Roots 

 in the Spring before they flioot, and 

 fliould be planted in a very poor 

 moilr Soil under the Shade of a 

 Wall, for if they are expos'd to the 

 Sun, they will not thrive: They 

 chiefly delight to grow out of the 

 Joints of Walls, and old Buildings, 

 but are commonly found expos'd 

 to the North.
