deftitute of a corolla, which is Ehrhart's Icmtnlofa ; the 



other vith a more elongated corymb, and numerous female 

 Jlorets, each with an oblique tubular corolla, but whofe 

 Jl'tgma neverthelefs is faid to be fmall and barren ; this is the 



original paradosa. We prefume the idea of the barren 

 Jl'tgma may be a miftake of Retzius ; that part, when im- 



perfeft, being, in this tribe of plants, always thickened ; 



but we have had no opportunity of examining living fpe- 



cimens of T. fpuria, which is a ftranger to the gardens of 



England. 



18. T. fagitlalii. Arrow-leaved Colt's-foot. Herb. 

 Banks. Purfh n. 2. — " Panicle denfe, ovate, level-topped. 

 Flowers radiated. Radical leaves oblong, acute, arrow- 

 ihaped, entire ; with obtufe lobes." — Gathered by Mr. 

 Hutchinfon, at Hudfon's Bay. Perennial. Purjh. 



19. T. palmata. Cut-leaved Colt's-foot. Ait. n. 10. 



ed. I. V. 3. 188. t. II. Willd. n. 21 Flowers corym- 



bofe, level-topped, radiated. Leaves feven-lobed, palmate, 

 cut ; downy beneath. — Native of Newfoundland and La- 

 brador. Introduced into England by Dr. Fothergill, in 

 1777. Perennial, flowering in April. The _/?aW and i/i- 



fiorefcence refemble the laft. The Jloiuers are light flefh- 

 coloured, or purplifh, with fhort obtufe rays. The leaves, 

 which by Willdenow's account vary in the depth of their 

 lobes, afford a clear fpecific difference from all the other 

 fpecies. 



TussiLAGO, in Gardening, comprehends plants of the low, 

 hardy, herbaceous, creeping-rooted perennial kinds ; among 

 which, the fpecies mofl commonly cultivated in gardens far 

 different purpofes are, the common tuffilago or colt's-foot 

 (T. farfara) ; the mountain colt's-foot (T. alpina) ; the 

 Siberian colt's-foot (T. anandria) ; the petafites, tuffilago 

 major, or common butter-bur (T. petafites) ; the hybridan 

 German tuifilago, greater colt's-foot, or long-ftalked butter- 

 bur (T. hybrida) ; and the white alpine tuffilago, or fmaller 

 butter-bur (T. alba). 



The firft fort has a creeping perennial root, fhort, thickifh 

 {talk, with fine roundifh hoary leaves ; which are produced 

 after the Hem and flower ; hence it is denominated one of 

 thejilius anie patrem, or fon before the father, tribe or clafs 

 of plants, or thofe in which the flowers rife before the 

 leaves. 



It is not much cultivated in the garden manner, except 

 in herbaceous colledlions as a medicinal herb for making 

 decoftions and other mild balfamic drinks, and for the ufe 

 of its leaves as a principal ingredient in the preparation of 

 the Britifh herb tobacco, and other fimilar compofitions. 

 Sometimes, however, it is employed for variety in patches 

 in the borders and other parts of ornamented grounds. 



In the fecond kind, there is a variety which has round 

 hoary leaves. 



The fourth fort is alfo fometimes cultivated and employed 

 as a medicinal plant in different intentions. 



Method of Culture. — They are all capable of being raifed 

 and incieafed by fowing the feeds of them in any proper 

 and fuitable foil and fituation in the early fpring feafon, but 

 not to too great a depth, when they will freely rife and become 

 good plants. But the beft and moll expeditious method is 

 that of pai-ting the roots and planting them, which may be 

 done cither in the autumnal or fpring feafon, when the 

 fmalleft flip will readily take root and grow, multiplying in 

 a very quick manner. 



Mofl of the forts poffefs the fingular property of pro- 

 ducing and fending up their flowers and ftalks before the 

 leaves are formed and feen. 



The plants mollly affeft rather moifl foils and fituations, 

 but they will grow and fucceed almoft any where, and may 



be employed for affording greater variety and ornament, as 

 well as fome of them for the purpofes and intentions which 

 have been fuggefled above.

TUTBURY, or Stutesbury, a market-town in the 

 hundred of OfHow, and county of Stafford, England ; is 

 fituated on the weilern bank of the river Dove, at the dif- 

 tance of 4 miles N.W. by N. from Burton-upon-Trent, 

 and 134 miles in the fame bearing from London. It was 

 erefted a free borough at an early period, and the burgeffes 

 and other inhabitants were invefled with a variety of pri- 

 vileges and immunities ; but never had the right of fending 

 members to parliament, though the town ftill retains the 

 appellation of a borough. The parifh-church is an ancient 

 and fpacious edifice, with a fquare embattled tower fur- ! 

 mounted by four fniall pinnacles ; its principal entrance is j 

 decorated with fine fpecimens of Saxon fcu'.pture. A free 

 fchool was founded and endowed by Richard Wakefield in 

 the year 1730: it was rebuilt in 1789. Here is alfo a 

 meeting-houfe for DifTenters. According to the population 

 return of the year 18 11, the parifh of Tutbury contained 

 242 houfes, occupied by 1235 perfons. Wool-combing 

 conftitutes the principal bufinefs of the inhabitants ; and a 

 cotton manufaftory, recently eflabhfhed, gives employment 

 to a confiderable number. Three fairs are held annually, 

 and a market weekly, on Tuefdays. On the north lide of 

 the town are the remains of the caftle of Tutbury, which 

 was erefted foon after the Conqueft, by Henry de Ferrars, a 

 noble Norman, to whom the Conqueror gave large eflates in 

 this county. In the family of Ferrars it continued till the 

 reign of Henry III., when, being forfeited by the attainder 

 of Robert de Ferrars, earl of Derby, the king gianted it to 

 his fecond fon Edmund, earl of Lancafler. It again reverted 

 to the crown, in confequence of the rebellion of Thomas, 

 earl of Lancafler, who fortified it againfl Edward II., but 

 was obhged to furrender. Having futlained confiderable 

 damage during this contefl, and being afterwards fuffered to 

 fall into decay, John of Gaunt rebuilt the greater part of it 

 upon the ancient fcite in 1350. This caflle, being the prin- 

 cipal feat of the dukes of Lancafler, was long diflinguifhed as 

 the fcene of much feflivity and fplendour. 60 great was the 

 number of minftrels reforting to it, that it was found neceFiry 

 to adopt fpecial regulations for the prefervation of order. 

 Accordingly, one of their body was invefled with the title of 

 king of the minftrels, with officers under him for the due 

 execution of the laws. A charter for that purpofe was 

 granted by John of Gaunt in 1381 : and a court was efla- 

 bhfhed for determining all controverfy connefted with 

 minftrelfy. At this court, which was annually held with 

 great formality, the king and his officers were appointed for 

 the year enfuing ; and the bufinefs of the day concluded 

 with a bull-running and baiting. This barbarous cuftom 

 was abolifhed, by commutation, about the middle of the lafl 

 century ; but the court flill continues to be held. Tutbury 

 caftle was twee the refidence, or rather prifon, of Mary
