The third Sort is only to be found 

 in curious Botanic Gardens, where 

 it is preferved for its Variety. 



Tfaefe Varieties may all be pro- 

 pagated by fowing their Seeds loon 

 after they are ripe, in any Corner 

 of the Garden ; where, if fufFered 

 to call their Seeds, they will always 

 furnilh a plentiful Stock of young 

 Plants, without any farther Trouble. 



CHELONE. 



The Characlers are ; 



It hath a Jhort green f quant" fa 

 Calyx : the Flower confifis of one 

 Leaf which is divided into two 

 Lips: the Galea, or Crefi, is fome- 

 rwbat like tbe Head of a Tortoife : 

 the Beard, or lower Lip, is extended 

 beyond the Creft, and is bifid: the 

 flower is fucceeded by a Fruit which 

 is in Shape like that of the Fox glove, 

 and is divided into two Cells, in 

 ruubicb are contained many fiat Seeds, 

 that are furbelow "d on the Edges. 

 The Species are ; 



I. Che LONE Acadia:fis,fiore albo. 

 Town. White -flowering Chelone 

 of Acadia. 



. 2. Chelone fioribus fpeciofis pul- 

 cherritn'is colore rof<e Damafcense. 

 Clayt. F. V. Chelone with fpecious 

 Flowers of the Colour of tne Da- 

 mafk Rofe. 



Tho' by the Title of thefe Plants 

 they are fuppofec Natives of Acadia 

 only, yet they have been brought 

 from divers Parts of America ; and 

 'tis very probable may be found in 

 moft Parts of North America, as 

 Virginia, Maryland, Ntw- England, 

 &c. From the two lart-mennoned 

 Places feveral Plants have been fent 

 ; to England by fome curious Peribns 

 of thole Countries. 



Thefe Plants are very hardy, en- 

 during our fevereit Cold in the open 

 Ground ; and are propagated by 

 parting the Roots in the Spring, 

 which increafe very faft under the 



Surface of the Earth ; therefore they 

 mould not be planted among orner 

 curious Plants or Flowers, left, by 

 their fpreading Roots, they mould 

 overbear and deltroy them They 

 die to the Surface every Winter, 

 and arife again the fucceeding 

 Spring, producing their Flowers in 

 Augufi, and ripen their Seeds in 

 Oclober ; of which, tho' they feem 

 to be perfectly good almoit every 

 Year, yet I could never procure 

 one fingle Plant from all the Seeds 

 I have yet fown, either of my own 

 faving, or any other Englijh faved 

 Seeds. 



The firft Sort has been long in 

 the EuropeanGzrdens ; but the fecond 

 is more rare at prefent, being in few 

 Gardens. This was fent to England 

 by Mr. Clayton, a very curious Bo- 

 taniit, from Virginia, who difcover'd 

 it in fome of the remote Parts of 

 that Country : it is equally hardy 

 with the firft Sort, and may be pro- 

 pagated by parting their Roots in 



Murcb, 



CHENOPODIO-MORUS. Vid* 

 Blitum. 



CHENOPODIUM, Goofe foot, 

 or Wild Orach. 



The Characlers are ; 



The Seeds are fingle and globoje 

 in fome Species, but in others thej 

 are comprejfed : the Cup of the Flower 

 is quinquefid, or divided into five 

 Parts : the Leaves grow alternately 

 upon tbe Stalks between the Seeds. 

 The Specie; are ; 



1 . Ch e n o pod i ii m fcctidumSTourn. 

 Stinking Orach. 



2. Chenopodium lini folio vil- 

 lofo. Town. Flax - leav'd Orach, 

 commonly called Summer-cyprefs, 

 or Belvedere.

 folio finuato. Tourn. Cut - leav'd 

 Orach, commonly called Oak of 

 Jcrufalem.
