 Branches. 



The firft Sort grows wild upon 

 dry chalky Hills in divers Parts of 

 England. The fecond is a Variety 

 of the firft, from which it only differs 

 in the Colour of the Flower. Thefe 

 Sorts abide many Years, and may 

 be propagated in a Garden, by ei- 

 ther lowing their Seeds, or parting 

 their Roots; the latter of which is 

 the moll expeditious Method, as alfo 

 the fureft Way to prefer ve the 

 white flowering Kind in its Colour, 

 becaufe it may return back to the 

 purple Kind, from which it at firft 

 degenerated. Thefe Plants mould 

 have.a light Soil, and an open Si- 

 tuation, in which they will thrive 

 exceedingly. 



The third Sort is alfo found upon 

 very ftony or gravelly Hills in feve- 

 ral Parts of England ; but this, be- 

 ing a biennial Plant, is only propa- 

 gated by Seeds, which mould be 

 lown foon after they are ripe, other- 

 wife they will hardly grow : this 

 muft have a very poor ftony Soil, in 

 which it chiefly delights. 



The fourth Sort is an annual Plant, 

 which was brought from the Alps : 

 this mould be fown in the Spring of 

 the Year, in almoft any Soil ; and be- 

 ing a very good-natur'd Plant, will 

 thrive in any Part of the Garden. 



The fifth Sor grows wild in Auft- 

 ria; from whence the Seeds have 

 been fent, which gr>w very well 

 with us ; and it is hardy enough to 

 refift our Cold in the open Air, if 

 planted in a dry Soil. 



The fixth Sort is a biennial Plant : 

 this is alfo hardy, and will thrive in 

 the open Air: the Seeds may be 

 fown in April upon a Bed of light 

 Earth, and the Plants will come up, 

 and begin to flower in July ; and 

 there will be a Continuation of Flow- 



c L 



ers until the Froft comes on in Au- 

 tumn : the Seeds of this Sort will 

 ripen in Auguft and September, 



The feventh, eighth, and ninth 

 Sorts are Natives of the Northern 

 Parts of America ; from whence 

 their Seeds have been brought, and 

 the Plants are preferved in fome cu- 

 rious Gardens, more for Variet/ 

 than Ufe or Beauty : the eighth Sort 

 is commonly called Peny -royal by 

 the Inhabitants of America, from the 

 Scent of the whole Plant, which is 

 very like that of Peny-royal. 



Thefe are all hardy enough to 

 live in the open Air, provided they 

 have a fheltered Situation ; and ma/ 

 be propagated either by Seeds, part- 

 ing their Roots, or by Cuttings, 

 which eafily rake Root in any of the 

 Summer-months: they generally de- 

 cay to the Ground every Winter, 

 and rife again the following Spring. 



The other Species, which have 

 been ranged in this Genus, are re- 

 ferr'd to Monarda and Zixiphora. 



CLITORIA. Vide Ternatea. 



CLUSIA, The Balfam- tree. 

 The Characters are; 



The Empalement of the Flower 

 conjijls oj fiveroundijh concave Leaves^ 

 -which fpread open : the Flower has 

 five concave Petals, which expand in 

 form of a Rofe : from the Empalement 

 arifes the Pointal, fupporting a glo- 

 bular Neclarium ; which is perfora- 

 ted at the Top : in this is included the 

 Germen, which afterward becomes 

 an oval Fruit, divided into feveral 

 Farts longitudinally, having oval 

 ceeds furrounded with a Pulp, and 

 fixed to an angular Column. 

 The Species are ;
