3. Common wild Pink. 
Caryophyllus fylueftris vulgaris. 
The root is of an irregular fhape and firm fub- 
ftance; long, divided, brown, and wrinkled on 
the furface. 
The fhoots rife in great numbers, and have a 
multitude of leaves on them: thefe are very long 
and narrow, of a gteyith green, and of a firm 
fubftance. 
The ftalks are numerous, greyifh green, and 
round: they are jointed at fmall diftances, and 
branched toward the tops. 
The leaves’on thofe are fhort, narrow, and 
fharp-pointed: they ftand in pairs, as in all the 
other fpecies, and’ are broad at the bafe, and 
{maller all the way to the end. 
The flowers are of a pale red, and Jagged at 
the edges. 
The feed-veffel is oblong, and the feeds are 
large. 
It is wild on the barren rocks in our northern 
counties; and frequently on walls; but there it 
feems to have owed its origin to fcattered feeds 
from fome garden plants: in the other places it 
is evidently a native. 
C. Bauhine calls it Caryophyllus fimplex flore 
minore pallide rubente. Many of our garden pinks 
are varieties from this ftock. 
4. Deptford Pink. 
Caryophyllus barbatus. 
The root is long, flender, divided, and hung 
about with fibres. 
The firft thoots are numerous, upright, and 
furnifhed with feveral Pairs of leaves.

-of the clove {pice. ; 
It is a native of Italy, and flowers in July. 
The varieties that have been raifed from this 
are endlefs and innumerable. This fingle flower 
is the fource from which the ingenuity of gardeners 
has raifed that vaft and beautiful variety of car- 
nations, which they are ftill encreafing by the 
fame means. 
In its wild ftate it varies the colour, from the 
full and rich purple of which we fee it in gar- 
dens, through all the changes of red down to

Itis wild in fome of our weftern counties, but 
not common. It flowers in July. 
C. Bauhine calls it Caryophyllus filveftris pro- 
“fer; and moft others follow him, 
§ PBC Es; 
abfolute white ; and from this Variation in nature 
the hint has probably been taken for all thofe 
elegant kinds raifed by care and culture.
