 twruleo. Tourn. Common Chichling- 

 vetch, with a blue Flower.

The firft, fccond, third, and fifth 

 Sorts are Annuals, and muft be Town 

 every Year (as is praclifed for the 

 Sweet-pea) : if they are fown in Au- 

 guft, in a warm Border, they will 

 iland through the Winter, and flower 

 early in the fucceeding Spring, by 

 which Method you may be fine to 

 obtain good Seeds ; whereas thofe 

 which are fown in the Spring are 

 many times dellroyed by the Kains 

 in Autumn before their Seeds are 

 perfected. Thefe Plants delight in 

 a dry Soil, and an open Situation ; 

 for if they are overhung by Tree*, 

 ts'c they feldom come to any Per- 

 fection. 



Thofe Plants which were fown in 

 Autumn, will begin to Mower in 

 Mny an'd continue to produce new 

 Flowers till Jufyi about which time 

 the Seeds of their early Flowers will 

 be perfected. Their Flowers are in 

 Shape like thofe of the Pea ; but be- 

 in^; of variable Colours, make a 

 pretty Variety in a Garden , <md if 

 the Plants are fupported with Sticks, 

 they may be kept in a fmall Com- 

 pafs. The fourth Sort hath a peren- 

 nial Root, which multiplies very fair, 

 loon cv; r running a Spot of Ground, 

 and fh( U d therefore be kept in a 

 Pot wfitre the Roots will be con- 

 fin'd, and thereby the Plant caus'd 

 to produce a greater Quantity of 

 Flowers than it would naturally do, 

 if its Ro.ots had full Liberty.

 the Centre of the F/owefi is ftuated 

 the Pointal, attended by fx Stamina, 

 two of theje being Jhortcr than the

 a flat round Fruit \ Jhafed like a Puck-

 of which are included one or two flat 

 Seeds. 



The $pecie$ are ;

 whofe Pods have one Cell, including 

 a fingle Seed.

'1 his Genus of Plants was named 

 fonthhfpi by Fabius Columna, and 

 the fame was continued by Dodor 

 Ttumefrt, and other later Writers 

 on Botany before Dr. Lvmaus, who 

 has altered the Name to this of Cly- 

 peola, the other Name being a Com- 

 pound. 



The fecond Sort was by Doctor 

 Tourn-fort ranged with the AlyiTon 

 or Madwort ; but agreeing in the 

 Characters of its Flower with the 

 nrft, Dr. Linnaus has removed it hi- 

 ther, though it differs in the Fructi- 

 fication from it. 



All thefe are low annual Plants, 

 who'e Branches trail on the Ground; 

 therefore make but little Figure in 

 a Garden : thefe Seeds may be fown 

 on a Bed of common Earth, tithej 

 in the Spring or Autumn : thofe 

 which are fewn in Autumn will grow 

 mud? larger, and ripen their Seeds 

 more iurcly, than the Spring-plants ; 

 and, if their Seeds are permitted to 

 fcatter, the Plants will come up, and 

 require
