Thefe Plants have a ftrong Scent on 

 being rubbed. 



The fourth and fifth Sorts were 

 difcovered by Dr. Tournefort in the 

 Archipelago, who fent their Seeds to 

 the Royal Garden at Paris, which 

 have fince been communicated to 

 many curious Gardens in Europe. 

 The fourth Sort has very fmall 

 Flowers, which make no great Ap- 

 pearance ; therefore is feldom cul- 

 tivated : but the fifth Sort deferves 

 a Place, for the handfome Appear- 

 ance which the Flowers make during 

 their Continuance, which is near 

 two Months. 



The fixth and feventh Sorts are 

 Natives of Tartary, and have been 

 lately introduced into the Englijb 

 Gardens. Thefe are both annual 

 Plants, which may be cultivated by 

 fowing of their Seeds in the fame 

 manner as is directed for the former 

 Sorts. The fixth Sort is worthy of 

 a Place in good Gardens ; but the 

 feventh is a Plant of no great 

 Beauty.
