_ Tuis isa Perennial, native of our fea coafts in ‘many Places; a very beautiful Plant, 
flowering in June. The Leaves are of a very fine grafs green. The Stalk is round, 
{mooth, of a pale green, and eight Inches high. The Flowers are of a very beautiful 
~ crimfon. 
THis is one of thofe Plants which we have termed univerfal, or common, in a man- 
ner, to every part of the earth. Befide its moft natural place of growth, the fea coatts, 
it is frequent on mountains ; the Alps in Europe, and the Andes in America, afford it; 
and the fea coafts almoft every where. Its afpect varies as much as its place ; on moun- 
tains the Stalk {carce rifes to a Fi inger's heighth ; in falt marfhes it grows to feven or 
eight inches, and the Flowers are larger in proportion: for this reafon, two or three 
Species have been made out of it by the lefs accurate writers, even while they over- 
Jooked fuch as were truly diftin@. I have received it from Cumberland Ifle, not an 
inch high, and with the head fcarce fo big as a large Pea; but the very fame Plant has 
grown in my garden to the ufual ftature. It is eafily traced from the extreme North 
countries, down throughout North, and even South America, as we have mentioned of 
fome other Plants.
