Tuis is a Perennial, native of Comntaay, and other parts of Europe; a Plant fingular 
in the divifion of its Leaf, and colour of its Flower, but yet a true and genuine Sca- 
bious, flowering in July and Auguft. The Stalk is thick, firm, branched, and two feet 
high. The Leaves are fharply and elegantly divided ; their colour is a {trong green ; 
and they are firm to the touch. The F lowers are yellow ; they are very numerous on 
the Plant, and open in a long fucceffion, but their colour is by no means pleafing ; it is 
aduiky, though not ftrong PEW 3 ; and foon becomes panes and fainter as the F lowers 
continue open. :

Th HIS is a ‘Biownial, native of the featkdatts of Spain and Portugal, a tall and hand- 
fome Plant, flowering in June. The Stalk is thick but weak ; of a ftrong green, and 
not much branched. The Leaves are of a freth and fine green ; the Flowers are crim- 
fon; they are large and numerous, and laft longer upon the Plant than in moft of the 
other Scabious kinds ; ; and for that reafon render it defirable in gardens. | 
In dry feafons, aS very dry Gils. the Flowers of this Plant will - be perfectly white ; ; 
and they are then very beautiful ; perhaps indeed more fo than when of their native. 
colour. Several of the other fpecies will have their Flowers pale, when they are ill 
nourithed, but unlefs the white be perfect and lively, they never look well in that con- 
dition. ae
