The Leaves are of a very pale green, with high white ribs. The Stalk is whitith, weak, 
and about a foot high. The Flowers are of a very fine crimfon. . 
Tuts Plant varies like the common Thrift in ftature, and in the bignefs of the heads. I 
have feen it from three inches to half a yard in heighth, and in fome Plants the Heads are 
full as big as a Nutmeg, and perfectly regular ; while in others, they are flight, fmall, — 
irregular, and divided. Soil and Situation do all this. They often change the afpect of 
a Plant in fome degree; but never affect its charaéteriftic parts. 7

Tuts is a Perennial, hard and woody Plant, native of the north of Europe and of Afia ; — 
and flowers in Auguft. It grows to two foot or more in heighth ; the lower part of the 
Stem is brown and hard; the upper Branches are green and tender; the Leaves are of a 
very fine green ; the Flowers are of a pale, but delicate crimfon. ; 
‘Ir has of late been a cuftom to join the Thrift, and the Sea Lavender‘ together in one 
- Genus, but they were always, till of late, divided; and we retain the old diftinétion: 
the. difpofition of the Flowers demands it; and the charaéter it gives, is plain and 
obvious. | | :
