The two firft Sorts are common in 

 moft of the moift Meadows in Eng- 

 land : they flower the Beginning of 

 May ; and although there is no great 

 Beauty in thofe Flo \vers,yet I thought 

 proper to mention them, in order to 

 introduce the third Sort, which is a 

 very beautiful Plant, continuing a 

 long time in Flower ; and is a very 

 proper Plant for cold North Borders, 

 or a wet Soil, where few others will 

 grow j and hereby we may render 

 the pooreft and worft Soil productive 

 of Beauties, did we but carefully at- 

 tend to the adapting proper Plants 

 for it, and not endeavour to force 

 jt to produce Things which require 

 a quite contrary Soil. The firft Sort 

 is fometimes ufed in Medicine. 



The fourth and fifth Sorts grow 

 wild in England ; but are fometimes 

 allowed a Place in Gardens for Va- 

 riety-fake. When, the Seeds of thefe 



Plants are ripe, the Pcds burft on the 

 firft Touch, and fcatter the Seeds all 

 around. If thefe Plants are put in a 

 fhady Border, and permitted to fhed 

 their Seeds, they will maintain them- 

 felves without any Care. 



The fixth Sort grows in marfhy 

 Places, and in ftanding Waters ; 

 therefore is rarely kept in Gardens. 



The feventh Sort is not a Native 

 of England ; yet will endure the fe- 

 vereft Cold of this Climate in a warm 

 Border j where, if it be permitted 

 to fhed its Seeds, it will maintain its 

 Place without any farther Care. 



The other Sorts are Natives of 

 the Alps and Pymnean Mountains (ex- 

 cept the laft, which was difcovered 

 by Dr. Tmrnefort in Greece ). They 

 are all extremely hardy : their Seeds 

 mould be fown foon after they are 

 ripe, in a moift fhady Situation ; 

 where the Plants will foon appear, 

 and will require no other Care, but 

 to clear them from Weeds ; and if 

 their Seeds are permitted to fcatter, 

 the Plants will come up better, than 

 if fown. Thefe Varieties are pre- 

 served in Botanic Gardens; and fome 

 of them merit a Place in fome fhady 

 Part of every curious Garden, for 

 their odd manner of cafting forth 

 their Seeds on the flighteft Touch, 

 when the Pods are ripe ; which often 

 furprifes Strangers, who attempt to 

 gather the Seeds. 



CARDIACA, Motherwort. 

 The Characlers are ; 



// hath a labiated Flower conf.f- 

 tng of one Leaf, whofe Upper- lip is 

 imbricated ( with Pieces laid one over 

 another in the manner of Tiles J ; and 

 is much longer than the Under lip, 

 which is cut into three Parts : out of 

 the Flower cup arifes the Fointal, at- 

 tended with four Embryo's, which af- 

 terward become fo many angular 

 Seeds : to which may be added, The 

 Flower-cut) is befel with fviall Spines.
