 have taken Root. 



The five firft-mentiond Sorts are 

 all Strangers to our Country, being 

 Natives of Spain, Portugal, and the 

 South of France-* and are only to be 

 found in the Gardens of the Cu- 

 rious. The two laft Sorts grow wild 

 in many Parts of England, and are 

 by fome propagated in Gardens for 

 phyfical Ufe. Thefe two Sorts are 

 alfo raifed from Seeds, cr by part- 

 ing the Roots early in the Spring, 

 and will grow in almoft any Soil or 

 Situation. Thefe two die down to 

 the Ground annually, and rife again 

 ;he fucceeding Spring. 

 ALYSSOIDES. 



The Chambers are ; 

 // hath a Flower in firm of a 

 Oofs, conffing cf four Leaves, out 

 §f whoje Flower-cup rifes the Pointal, 

 which afterward becomes an ellipti- 

 cal thick Fruit, divided into two Cells 

 by an intermediate Partition, which 

 is parallel to the demi- elliptical tur- 

 gid Valves, and filed with round flat 

 %eeds, having Borders round them. 

 The Species are ; 



1. Alyssoides fruticofum, leu- 

 coii folio viridi. Tourn. 2 1 8. Shrub- 

 by Alyfibides, with a green Stock- 

 gilly flower- leaf. 



2. Alyssoides incanum, filiit 

 finuatis. Toum. 2 1 8. Hoary Alyf- 

 foides, with finuated Leaves. 



3. Alyssoides fruticofum Creti- 

 cum, leucoii folio incano. lourn. Cor. 

 Shrubby Alyfibides of Candy, with 

 an hoary Stock-gillyflower- leaf. 



4. Alyssoides Orientals annua., 

 tnyagri fativi folio. Tow n. Cor. Ori- 

 ental annual Alyfibides, with a My- 

 ao rum-leaf. 



The firft and third Sorts are per- 

 ennial Piants,which rife to theHeight 

 of two or three Feet : thefe may be 

 propagated by fowing their Seeds

 Spring ; and when the Plants arc* 

 come up four Inches high, they may 

 be tranfplantcd into Pots filled with 

 light frefh Earth, and placed in a 

 fnady Situation until they have taken 

 new Root, when they may be ex- 

 pofed to the open Air until the Lat- 

 ter-end of October, when they mould 

 be placed under a common Hot-bed- 

 frame, where they may be fhelter- 

 ed from fevere F»oft in Winter ; bal 

 they muft. have as much free Air a 

 pofiible in mild Weather, and fhouk 

 be frequently refrefhed with Watei 

 The following Summer they wil 

 flower, and produce ripe Seeds ; bt 

 the Plants may be continued four c 

 five Years, by fheltering them in tl 

 Winter, as I h:ive directed. The 

 will often live through the Wint 

 in the open Air, provided they a 

 planted in a Situation where they a 

 protected from the North and E 

 Winds.
