expand in form of a Rofe : the Fruit 

 is oblong, dry, and prickly, like the 

 Burdock ; in each of which are con- 

 tained two Kernels. 

 The Species are ; 



1. Agrimonia ofipcinarum. Tourn. 

 The common or medicinal Agrimony . 



2. Agrimonia odor at a. Camer. 

 The fweet-fmelling Agrimony. 



3. Agrimonia minor, fore alio.

 lis, radice craffifima repent e, fruclu 

 in fpicam brcvem & denfam congejlo. 

 1 Cor. Dwarf Eaftern Agrimony, 

 with thick creeping Roots, and the 

 Fruit growing in Ihort thick Spikes. 



The firlt of thefe Sorts is common 

 in the Hedges in many Parts of 

 England, and is the Sort commonly 

 ufed in Medicine ; but mould not 

 be wanting in a Garden : it will 

 grow in almoft any Soil or Situation, 

 and is increafed by parting the Roots 

 in Autumn, or by fowing the Seeds 

 foon after they are ripe. 



The fweet-fmelling Agrimony is 

 by fome preferfd to the common 

 Sort for medicinal Ufes ; but how- 

 ever it is certainly the moft grateful 

 to infufe for perioral Decoctions, 

 and makes a pleafant kind of Tea : 

 it is propagated as the common Sort, 

 but requires an opener Expofure. 



The third and fourth Sorts are 

 equally hardy with the common 

 Sort, and may be propagated either 

 by fowing the Seeds foon after they 

 are ripe, or by parting their Roots 

 in Autumn. 



AGRl MONOID ES, Baftard 

 Agrimony. 



The Characters are ; 



It hath a rofaceous Flower, con- 

 fifing of federal Petals, ivhich are 

 placed in a circular Order, iffning 

 out of the Diwfions of the Flower - 

 €up ; but the Flower ar.d the Flowir- 



cup are received into another funneU 

 Jhaped Empalement^ which is fringed. 

 'The Flower-cup afterward becomes a 

 Jharp oval Fruit, which is enfolded 

 in the outer Empalement, and contains, 

 for the mojl part, a fingle Seed. 



There is but one Species of this 

 Plant at prefent known ; which is, 



Agrimonoides. Col. part 1. 145. 



This is a perennial Plant, which 

 in its outward Appearance greatly 

 refembles Agrimony, but differs 

 therefrom in its Flower ; for which 

 Reafon Dr. Toumefort has Separated 

 it from the Agrimonies. It may be 

 propagated by Seeds, which mould 

 be fown in Autumn, foon after they 

 are ripe ; for if they are kept out 

 of the Ground till Spring, they are 

 fubject to miicarry, or otherwife 

 will remain in the Ground till the 

 following Spring ; whereas thofe 

 which are fown in Autumn, feldom 

 fail to come up the next Spring. 

 When the Plants appear, they will 

 require no other Culture, but to 

 keep them clear from Weeds, until 

 the following Autumn, when they 

 mould be taken up and tranfplanted 

 where they are to remain. Thefe 

 Plants will grow in almoft any Soil 

 or Situation, provided they are not 

 placed under the Drip of Trees. 



The fecond Year thefe Plants will 

 produce Flowers, and the Roots will 

 abide feveral Years, and may be 

 parted in Autumn, if you are will- 

 ing to propagate them that way.
