Thefe Plants grow in the South of 

 France, in Spai,:, and in Italy : the 

 third Sort grows wild in England, 

 upon chalky Hills, and uncultivated 

 Waces, 



All thefe Plants are preferved by 

 the Curious in Botany, for the fake 

 of Variety ; but they are feldom in- 

 troduced into other Gardens, as they 

 have no great Beauty ; nor are they 

 of any Ufe (except the fifth Sort, 

 which is placed in the Catalogue of 

 Simples annexed to the College Dif- 

 penfatory ; but is rarely ordered in 

 Medicine), fo far as I could ever dis- 

 cover : yer, as they are fometimes 

 cultivated by curious Perfons, it was 

 thought proper to enumerate their 

 feveral Varieties, 



They may all be propagated by 

 fowing their Seeds in the Spring on a 

 Bed of frefli undunged Earth, where 

 they are defigned to remain ; for, as 

 they fend forth Tap-roots, they will 

 not bear t ran fpl anting fo well as 

 moll other Plants. When the Plants 

 appear above-ground, they mould 

 be carefully weeded ; and, as they 

 grow in Size, they ihould be thin- 

 ned, where they are too clofe, hav- 

 ing them about ten Inches or a Foot 

 afunder. The fecond Year moft of 

 thefe Plants will flower ; but, unlefs 

 the Summer proves dry, they rarely 

 produce good Seeds in England ; and 

 moft of them decay foon after they 

 have flowered ; therefore it is pretty 

 difficult to maintain thefe Plants in 

 this Country.
