and managed, as hath been dire&ed 

 for the imaller Sort : but as the 

 Plants which are raifed from Seeds 

 in England, will be Come Years in 

 arriving to any considerable Size, it 

 will be much the beft Way to pro- 

 cure fome Plants from thsfVefi'Imtiesi 

 and if the Plants arrive here in any 

 of the Summer-months, fo as that 

 there may be time for them to get 

 new Root before the Cold comes on 

 in Autumn, the Plants will more cer- 

 tainly fucceed. When the Plants 

 come over, it will be proper to take 

 them out of the Earth as foon as pof- 

 fible, and lay them in the Stove, up- 

 on the Shelves, to dry for three or 

 four Days ; and when they are plant- 

 ed, they mould be plunged into a 

 good warm Bed of Tanners Bark, to 

 promote their making new Roots. 

 In this Bed they may remain till the 

 Beginning of Otlobtr, when they 

 mull be removed into the Stove, and 

 treated in the manner before di- 

 rected. 

 CjESALPINA. 



We have no EnglifName for this 

 Plant. 



The Characters are; 

 It hath a Flower of an anomalout 

 Figure, confifing of me Leaf which 

 is divided into four unequal Farts : 

 the Upper-part is large, and hollowed 

 like a Spoon : from the Bottom of the 

 Flower arifes the Pointal, among Jl 

 many incurved Stamina, which after- 

 ward becomes a Pod, including oblong 

 Seeds. 



We have but one Sort of this 

 Plant ; *vix. 



C JE s A L P f N A polyphylla , aculeis 

 horridai Plusn. No*o. Ge?i. Many- 

 leav'd Csefalpina, with largeThorns. 



This Plant is a Native of America, 

 where jt rifes to the Height of four- 

 teen or fixteen Feet ; the Trunk and 

 Branches being armed with very 

 ftrong Thorns, makes it difficult to 



pafs where they are in plenty. It 



was found at Campechy by the late 

 Dr. Houfloun, who fent the Seeds in- 

 to England, from which fome of 

 thefe Plants were raifed. 



This Plant is propagated by Seeds, 

 which fliould be fown in fmall Pots 

 filled with light rich Earth early in 

 the Spring, and plunged into an Hot- 

 bed of Tanners Bark. In about two 

 Months after, the Plants will begin 

 to appear, when they mull be care- 

 fully clcar'd from Weeds, and fre- 

 quently refrelhed with Water ; and, 

 in warm Weather, the Glafles of 

 the Hot-bed mould be raifed in the 

 Middle of the Day, to admit frelh 

 Air to the Plants, which will greatly 

 ftrengthen them Wnen the Plants 

 are about three Inches high, they 

 fliould be carefully taken out of the 

 Pots, and each tranfplanted into a 

 feparate fmall Pot filled with frefli 

 light Earth, and plunged into the 

 Hot-bed again ; obferving to water 

 them, and Icreen them from the Heat 

 of the Sun, until they have" taken 

 new Root. In this Hot-bed the Plants 

 may remain until they reach the 

 Glaffes, when they will be in Dan- 

 ger of being fcorched by the Sun„ 

 which will retard their Growth:., 

 therefore they fliould be removed in- 

 to tne Stove, and plunged into the 

 Bark-bed, where they may have 

 room to giow. Thefe Plants, being- 

 tender, fhould always be kept in the 

 Bark-Move, and have a moderate 

 Share of Heat in the Winter ; and 

 being placed among other tender 

 Exotic Plants of the fame Country, 

 will afford an agreeable Variety.
