be rooted before Winter; for if the 

 old Roots are permitted to remain 

 fo dole together, as they generally 

 grow in the Comp^fs of a Year, 

 they are fubjetl: to rot in Winter j 

 befides, the young Plants will be 

 much ftrongcr, and produce a lar- 

 ger Crop the fucceeding Summer 

 than if they were remov'd in the 

 Spring. Thefe Plants do all love a 

 moift ftrong Soil, in which they

PULMONARIA; Lungwort. 

 The ChamBers are j 



The Flower confifts of one Leaf, which 

 is floafd like d Tunnel, ivhofc upper Part 

 is cut into feveral Segments j from 

 its fifluloHs Flower-cHp, which is for 

 the inofi part perjagonal, rifes the 

 Tointal, encompafs'd by four Embryo's, 

 •which afterwards become fo many 

 Seeds enclosed in the Flower- cup. 

 The Species are i 



1. PuLMOKARiA; 'Vulgaris, macu- 

 lofo folio. Cluf. Hifi. Common fpot- 

 ted Lungwort, by feme call'd Sage 

 of Jeruiaiem, and Jerufalcm Cow- 

 flip.

4. PuL.MONARiA i maximn, foliis 

 quafi faccharo incruftatis. Fluk. Fhyt. 

 Gic-atefi Lungwort with Leaves ve- 

 ry much ipotted. 

 ' There are feveral other Species of 

 this Plant which arc preierv'd in 

 curious Botanick Gardens for Varie- 

 ty > but thofe here mention'd are 

 the principal Khids which are cul- 

 tivated in the Engliflj Gardens, 



The fir Or Sort b us'd in Medi- 

 cine as a Vulnerary Herb, but is by 

 many People prclcrv'd in Gardens i 

 as are alio the three other Sores, 

 tor the Variety of tiieir fpotted 



p u 



Leave.?, and pretty Bunches of blue 

 Flowers. 



Thefe Plants m.ay be cultivated 

 by parting of their Roots, which 

 may be done either in the Spring 

 or Autumn j but if the Ground be 

 moirt: into which they are planted, 

 it is better to be done in the 

 Spring, otherwife the Autumn is 

 the mofl preferable Seafbn, that the 

 Plants may be well rooted before 

 the dry Weather comes on in the 

 Spring, which will caufe them to 

 flower much ftronger. 



The Soil in which they are plan- 

 ted, fhould not be rich, but rather 

 a frefh, light, fandy Ground, in 

 which they will thrive much bet- 

 ter than in a richer Soil, in which 

 they are very fubjedt to rot in 

 Winter. The fourth Sort makes 

 the beft Appearance of all the Kinds, 

 and is very hardy, will grow either 

 in Sun or Shade, and, taking up 

 little Room, is worthy of a Place 

 in every good Garden for the Sake 

 of Variety. 



PULSATILLA; Pafque-Flower. 

 The Characiers arej 



The Flower conffls of feveral Leaves, 

 which are piac'd in a circular Order , 

 and expand in Form of a Rofc ; out 

 of the Middle of which rifes a Foin-^ 

 tal, befet; for the mofl part, with 

 Chives ; which afterwards becomes A 

 Fruit, in which the Seeds are ga- 

 thered, as it were, into a little Head, 

 each ending in a fmall Hair : To 

 which mufi be added. Some little 

 Leaves encompa(Jing the Fedicle below 

 the Flower, as in the Anemone ; 

 from which the Vzio^t-Flower dif- 

 fers, in the Seed ending in a Tail.
