tr>efe grew in plenty, and who con- 

 flicted this Genus, in the Memoirs 

 of the Academy at Paris, has taken 

 no Notice of their being Male and 

 Female in different Plants. 



It may be propagated plentifully 

 from the Suckers, which are pro- 

 duced from the creeping Roots in 

 great Abundance : thefe fhouid be 

 taken off in March, and planted into 

 a Nurfery, to form good Roots ; 

 where they may continue one or two 

 Years, and then mull be removed 

 to the Places where they are to re- 

 main. 



This Plant delights in a loamy 

 Soil, which is not too ftifF ; and 

 mould be placed where it may have 

 Shelter from the North and Eaft 

 Winds ; where it will endure the 

 Cold of our ordinary Winters very 

 well, and will flower better than if 

 it is preferved in Pots, and fheltered 

 in the Winter, as hath been by fome 

 praclifed. 



CORINDUM, Heart-peas. 

 The Characlers are ; 



It hath a trailing Stalk, emitting 

 C la/per s, whereby it fafiens itfelf to 

 whatever Plant it jlands near : the 

 Calyx, or Flower - cup, conjijis of 

 three Leaves : the Flowers conjijl of 

 eight Leaves, and are of an anomalous 

 Figure : the Ovary becomes a Fruit 

 which is like a Bladder, and divided 

 into three Cells ; in which are con- 

 tained round Seeds, in form of Peas, 

 cf a black Colour ; having the Figure 

 of an Heart of a white Colour upon 

 each. 



The Species are ; 



1 . Com n d u M folio ampliori, 

 fruclu major e. Town. Heart -pea 

 with large Leaves and Fruit. 



2. Corindum filio C5* fruclu 

 minore. Tourn. Heart-pea with fmall 

 Leaves and Fruit; called by the In- 

 habitants of the Weft-Indies, Wild 

 Par.Hey. * 



3. Corindum J olio ampUJJlmo^ 

 fruclu minore. Heart- pea with very 

 large Leaves, and fmall Fruit. 



Thefe Plants are very common in 

 Jamaica, Barbados, and moft of the 

 other warm Ifl.mds in the Weft -In- 

 dies ; where their Seeds are fcattered, 

 and become Weeds all over the 

 Country. 



They may be cultivated in Eng- 

 land, by fowing their Seeds on an 

 Hot-bed in March ; and when the., 

 Plants come up, they mull be tranf-" 

 planted into a frefh Hot- bed, where 

 they may remain until the Middle ofl 

 May ; at which time they may be 

 tranfplanted into Pots or Borders, ; 

 and expofed to the open Air. Thefe! 

 Plants will require Sticks to fupport 

 them : othervvife their Branches will 

 trail upon the Ground, and be apt 

 to rot, efpecially in a wet Seafon. 

 There is no great Beauty in this 

 Plant ; it is chiefly preferved as a 

 Rarity in the Gardens of the Cu- 

 rious. It produces its Flowers in 

 June, and the Seeds are perfected in 

 Auguft. ' 



CORIS. We have no Englijh 

 Name for this Plant. 



The Char ail ers are ; 



It hath a monopetalous perfonated 

 Flo-wer, whofe hinder Part is tubulous, 

 but the fore Part is Jhaped like a Fan : 

 from the Flower- cup rifes the Point al, 

 fixed like a Nail in the hinder Part 

 of the Flower ; which afterward be- 

 comes a globular Fruit, divided into 

 feveral Parts, containing roundifj 

 Seeds, which are inclofed by the CalyX. 

 The Species are ; 



1 . Coris caerulea maritima, 

 C. B. P. Maritime blue Coris. 



2. Coris maritima, fore rubro. ■ 

 C. B. P. Maritime Coris, with a 

 red Flower. 



3. Coris maritima, fore albo. 

 H. R. MonC Maritime Coris, with 

 a white Flower.
