Our Englijh Her hah divide the arti- 

 choke into three forts or fpecics, whicii 

 are indeed, I believe, all that we have 

 now, tho' in fome meafure obfcur'd and 

 unknown by thofe names, *viz. the 

 cynara fativa rubra, or the cynara maxi- 

 ma AngUcay the large red Englijh gar- 

 den artichoke 5 perhaps no other than 

 what we now call the red Romany the 

 €ynara fativa alba, the garden white ar- 

 tichoke 5 and the cynara patula, or the 

 French artichoke of Tarkinfon, p, 519. 

 and of Gerard, 1 1 5 3 . in all probabi- 

 lity no other than the open-headed green 

 artichoke, fometimes caird the crown- 

 artichoke 5 however that be, the kinds 

 that now have place mofl: in our gar- 

 dens, and which are only larger or fmal- 

 Icr, better or worfe, according to the 

 goodne fs of the foil on which they are 

 planted, are the red Roman j the crown 

 artichoke, and the large green, which 

 is indeed an excellent kind, and but in 

 few hands as yet : But moft of them are 

 to be had at the Bathj v^ry good.
