Tuis is a Biennial, native of Tartary sti China, a tall, fingular, and not tinlogant 
Plant, flowering in Auguft. The Stalk is flender, upright, not much branched, and of 
a full and frefh green. It is weak but tough, fo that it plays about in the wind with- 
out breaking, and offers its numerous Flowers to view in various ways, and in a very 
pleafing manner. ‘The Leaves are of a frefh and pleafant green; the hairs which form 
the Eyelafh at the bafe of the upper ones, are harfh and firm; and give that part of 
the Plant the fame harfhnefs to the touch that we feel in the common Scabious of our 
fields. The Flowers are of a light crimfon ; the Heads are not fo large as in fome of our 
common Scabioufes; but the colour and number of the Flowers, make good amends 
for that deficiency.

Tuis isa Biennial, native of Qerdiany, a low Plant, fingular enough, but of =" 
beauty, flowering early in July. The Stalk is weak, tender and bowing, for the Flowers — 
are large ; its colour is brown at the bafe, elfewhere green. The Leaves are of a freth 
and fine green ; and have fo much of a grafly look, that, unlefs when the Plant is in 
flower, or in bud rather, for then the colour is much more glowing ; it is not readily 
diftinguifhed from the.grafs, among which it ufually grows. The Flowers are of a 
bright and fine crimfon. This Plant, when entire, would look very like a branch of 
the former, only that the Leaves have a of that eyelathed natryeee at their 
-bafe.
