The flalk is a cubit high, or more, credt, firm, and 

 branched : the leaves grow fcflile and alternate, 

 of a long lanceolate form, very finely and 

 (harpJy ferrated on the edges, fmooth, and of a 

 firm but brittle texture : the flowers grow in 

 loofe umbels ; the difc is white ; the rays white, 

 and in number from feven to eleven : the calyx 

 is dovyny, and the chaff on the receptacle 

 downy. 



The variety with a double flow^er is received into 

 the flower-garden for ornament.

 away the rheum from the jaws; but at prefenc
