The firft Sort is very common in 

 worn - fields, and other cultivated 

 3 laces, in mod Parts of England. 

 The fecond and third Sorts are fome- 

 imes found wild in the Fields, but 

 ire lefs common than the firft in 

 England. The fourth is a Variety 

 >f the fecond Sort, which is acci- 

 lental. 



Thefe are all annual Plants, which 

 rife from Seeds, and, if fuffered to 

 iemain till their Seeds fcatter, will 

 ►ecome Weeds in thePl^ee ; fo that 

 hey are never cultivated, except in 

 lotanic Gardens for Variety. The 

 rft and fecond Sorts are directed by 

 ihe College of Phyficians for medi- 

 inal Ufe. 



The fifth Sort is a very beautiful 

 nail Plant, producing great Num- 

 ers of fine blue Flowers, in May 

 nd June : this may be propagated 

 y Seeds, which lhould be fown 

 "•on after they are ripe ; for if they 

 (ire kept till Spring, they do not 

 Iways fucceed : thefe Plants require 

 ) be fheltered from extreme Cold, 

 'hich will fometimes deftroy them : 

 ley are alfo propagated by Cut- 

 ngs. 



ANAGYRIS, Stinking Bean-tre- 

 uL 



The Characlers are; 

 It hath a papilionaceous ( or But- 

 ; 'rfly) Flower, whofe Standard is 

 ort when compared to the other Pe- 

 ls : the Pointal, which rifes from 



Vol. I. 



the Flower-cup, afterward becomes a 

 Pod jhaped like a Kidney -bean , con- 

 taining many kidney jhaped Seeds : to 

 which Notes fhould be added, The 

 Leaves grow by Threes on one com- 

 mon Footfalk. 



The Species are ; 



1. Axagyris foetida. C. B. 

 Stinking Bean trefoil. 



2. Anagyris foetida Crcfica, 

 oblongis foliis, luteis foribus. Barr. 

 Icon. Candy ftinking lean-trefoil, 

 with oblong Leaves', and yellow 

 Flowers. 



The firft Sort grows wild in the 

 South of France, as alfo in Spain 

 and Italy : this is a Shrub which 

 ufually rifes to the Height of eight 

 or ten Feet, and produces its Flowers 

 in April and May, which are of a 

 bright-yellow Colour, growing in 

 Spikes, fomewhat like thofe of the 

 Laburnum : the Seeds are feldom 

 perfected in this Country, which is 

 the Reafon of its prefent Scarcity in 

 England. 



The other Sort is a Native of 

 Candy, and* fome of the IHands of 

 the Archipelago ; and at prefent is 

 very rare in the Englijb Gardens. 

 This Sort hath longer Leaves than 

 the former, and flowers later in the 

 Summer, fo that it very rarely pro- 

 duces Seeds. 



Thefe may be both propagated by 

 laying down their tender Branches in 

 the Spring, obferving in dry Wea- 

 ther to fupply them with Water, 

 which if duly performed, the Layers 

 will have taken Root by the fallow- 

 ing Spring, when they mould be 

 cut off from the old Plants, a little 

 time before they begin to put out 

 their Leaves, and planted in a warm 

 Situation ; for if they are too much 

 expofed to cold Winds, they wiil be 

 in Danger of being deitroyed in an 

 hard Winter. This Method of pro- 

 pagating thefe Plants is, to {\xv>p\y
