The firft and fecond Sorts are very 

 common in the Meadows, almolt. in 

 every Part of England : they are 

 ufed indifferently in Medicine, being 

 the fame in all refpe&s, except the 

 Colour of the Flowers. This is alio 

 called C'jnflida minima, or the leaft 

 Conlound. 



The difrerentVarieties of the Gar- 

 den Daifies are propagated by part- 

 ing their Roots in Autumn, and 

 mould be planted in Borders of 

 flrong Earth, which are expoled to 

 the Eaft : for the great Heats in Sum- 

 mer are very f. bj.-dt to deilroy thefe 

 Plants, if they are too much expos'd 

 thtrero Theie riant? are pretty Or- 

 naiTit. n:s to a Garden in the Spring 

 of Uie Year, and may be planted for 

 Edgings in large rural Walks in 



E E 



Wilierneffes, where the Soil is poor, 

 which will prevent their fpreading 

 too much ; but in Parterre-gardens 

 they mould only be planted in fingle 

 Roots in fhady Borders, and every 

 Year tranfplanted and parted, which 

 will preferve them in their Colours, 

 and keep them within Compafs, 

 otherwife they are very apt to dege- 

 nerate. 



BELLIS MAJOR. Vide Leucan- 

 themum. 



BELLONIA. 



The Characters are; 



It hath a wheel-JhapedFlow€r,con- 

 fifing of one Leaf and divided at 

 the Top into f<veral Parts ; from 

 nvhofe Cup arifes the Pointal, fixed in 

 the Middle of the Plover like a AW; 

 the Flower- cup afterward becomes an. 

 hard oval-pointed Fruit, in which ate 

 contained many fmall Seeds. 



We have but one Species of this 

 Plant ; viz. 



Be l lo n 1 a frutefcens, folio meliff<se 

 afpero. Plum. Nov. Gen. Shrubby Bei- 

 lonia, with a rough Balm-leaf. 



This Plant is very common in fe- 

 veral Parts of America, from whence 

 I have received the Seeds ; which 

 were collected by the late Dr. Wil~ 

 ham Houfoun. 



It is propagated by Seeds, which 

 mould be (own early in the Spring, 

 in a Pot filled with frefli light Earth, 

 and plunged into an Hot-bed of 

 Tanners Bark, obierving to water it 

 frequently, as the Earth appears dry ; 

 but you mult be careful not to warn 

 the Seeds out of the Ground. When 

 the Plants are come up half an Inch 

 high, they hho^ld be carefully tranf- 

 planted into Pots filled with frefli 

 light Earth, and plunged into the 

 Hot bed again, obferving to water 

 and fhade them until they have taken 

 Rc»ot; afte which time they mould 

 have Air admitted to them every 

 Day, when the Weather is warm ;
