Teucrium, in Gardening, turnirties plants of the under- 

 fhrubby and herbaceous kinds, among the great number of 

 which, the fpccies following are the moll generally culti- 

 vated : the yellow-flowered ihrubby germander (T. flavum) ; 

 the fage-leaved germander, or wood-fage (T. fcorodonia) ; 

 ths nettle-leaved germander (T. canadenfe) ; the dwarf 

 mountain germander (T. montanum) ; the Pyrenean ger- 

 mander (T. pyrenaicum) ; the poley (T. polium) ; the 

 round-headed germander (T. capitatum) ; the dwarf ger- 

 iiiander (T. puinilum) ; the narrow-leaved tree -germander 

 (T. fruticans) ; the broad-leaved tree-germander (T. lati- 

 fohum) ; the Cretan germander (T. creticum) ; and the 

 common marum or cat -thyme (T. marum). 



There is a variety in the firft fort which is hairy, with 

 yellow flowers, with pale white flowers, and with purple 

 flowers. 



In the fourth fort there is hkewife a variety with much 

 fmaller leaves, which are hoary on their under fide. 



Alfo in the fixth fort there are feveral varieties ; as the 

 common yellowr poley, which has the ftalks rather herbaceous 

 and trailing, about fix inches long, and hoary : leaves 

 woolly, about half an inch long, fome wedge-lhaped, others 

 oblong, ending in obtufe points, and crenate towards their 

 ends : the flowers colkfted in oblong thick fpikes at the 

 end of the branches, of a deep yellow colour, and appear- 

 ing at the beginning of June. This grows naturally in 

 Spain. The narrow-leaved yellow poley, which has woody 

 Ralks, ereft, branching, and covered with a hoary down, 

 rirtng fix or eight inches high ; the leaves hnear, woolly, 

 about half an inch long, having fometimes two or three flight 

 indentures on their edges ; the flowers coUefted in roundifh 

 fpikes at the end of the branches ; they are bright yellow, 

 have woolly calyces, and appear in June and July. It 

 grows naturally in Spain and Portugal. The white poley, 

 which has the ftenis a foot long, and trailing : the leaves are 

 a little cottony, entire on the fides, but toothed at the end ; 

 the flowers are pretty large, white, tinged a little with purple. 

 It is a native of the fouth of France. There is alfo the pur- 

 ple poley. 



And there is a variety in the feventh fort which has an 

 ereft branching fl;alk, that rifes a foot high ; the lower 

 part becomes woody, but the upper is herbaceous : the leaves 

 are linear-lanceolate, about an inch long, crenate, of a pretty 

 thick confiftence, and a little woolly : the flowers collefted 

 in a corymb at the end of the branches, white, appearing in 

 July and Auguft. 



The ninth contains a variety which is a little more 

 branched, and has fmaller fliorter leaves : the flowers are 

 paler, the fl;amens fomewhat longer, the anthers fmaller and 

 brown ; whereas in the larger fort they are violet : and an- 

 other with variegated leaves. 



Method of Culture All the herbaceous and ligneous 



kinds may be readily increafed by parting the roots, by flips 

 of the young branches, and feeds : the roots may be divided 

 in the autumn, or early fpring, and the flips of the branches 

 be taken off in the fpring and fummer, being planted out in 

 moifl; <hady fituations, and well rooted, they maybe removed 

 to where they are to remain, though it is beft: to plant them 

 at once where they are to grow : the feeds may be fown in a 

 bed or border of common earth in the early fpring fealon. 



But in the polium kinds, the feeds ftiould be fown in a bed 

 of light earth, and the plants be either put out in nurfery-

rows, or fet where they arc to remain, in the latter end of 

 fummer. 



The flirubby forts may likewife be increafed by flips or 

 cuttings of the young Ihoots of the branches, which (hould 

 be planted in pots filled with hght mould, in the fpring and 

 fummer months, in order to be removed under the proteAion 

 of the greenhoufe in winter, being afterwards managed as 

 other greenhoufe exotics. 



Thefe plants are all of the perennial kind, and fome of 

 them are durable in the fl:ems and branches for feveral 

 years. 



The firfl: forts afford variety in the borders, &c. and tlic 

 latter in aflemblage with greenhoufe plants.
