into a feparate Pot, and treated as 



the old Plants. 



There is another Sort of tbefe 

 Figs, which is in fome of the cu- 

 rious Gardens in Holland, which is 

 called Ficus nytnpheea foliis, i. e. 

 Figs with Leaves like the Water- 

 lily ; the Pedicle of the Leaf being 

 Utuated in the Middle of the Leaf, 

 in the fame manner as is the Water- 

 lily. This is a Native of the warm 

 Parts of America ; fo cannot be kept 

 in England, unlefs placed in a warm 

 Stove : at prelent there are no Plants 

 of this Kind in the Englfi? Gardens. 

 This mall be treated in the fame 

 manner as hath bten directed for 

 the other two Sorts. 



FICUSTNDICA. FUeQmmWU 



F1LAGO. Vide Gnaphalium. 



FILBERT. Vidt Corylus. 



FILIPENDULA, Dropwort. 

 The Charade) i are ; 



// bath a Jibrofe Root, with oblong 

 Bulbs or Tubers fafiend to the Bottom 

 of the Fibres : the Leases are f.mly 

 cut into narrow Segments : the Flower s, 

 which confijl of fix or ftDcti Petals, 

 are di/pofed into a loofe Panicle : the 

 Fruit is almojl round, containing many 

 Seeds, which are gathered into an 

 Head refembling a Tub. 

 The Species are ; 



1. FiLlPENDULA 'vulgaris, an 

 Melon Plinii. C.B. Common Di op- 

 wort. 



2. FiLlPENDULA vulgaris, an 

 Molcu Plinii, /olio <variegato. hi R. 

 Par. Common Dropwort, with a 

 variegated Leaf. 



3. Filipendula vmm parte major, 

 folio angujiiori. Boerh. lad. Larger 



Dropwort, with a narrower Le^f. 



The firli of thefe Species is ufed 

 in Medicine; but is feldom culti- 

 vated in Gardens : it grows wild in 

 moil Parts of England upon open 

 Heats and Commons, as alio upon 

 chalky HiHs. 



f o 



The fecond Sort is a Variety of 

 the firit, with ftriped Leaves ; and 

 is preferved in fome curious Gardens 

 by fuch as delight in variegated 

 Plants. 



The third Sort I brought from 



Holland Anno 1727. This differs 

 from the common Sort in being lar- 

 ger in every Part ; but the Leaves 

 are narrower, and finer cut : there 

 is alfo one with double Flowers, 

 which is preferved in fome curious 

 Gardens. 



Thefe Plants may be eafily propa- 

 gated by taking up their Roots in 

 Autumn, when the Leaves begin to 

 decay, and parting them into fmali 

 Heads; which, if planted in an 

 open Situation, will thrive and in- 

 creafe exceedingly. They may alfo 

 be propagated by fowing their Seeds 

 in Autumn, which will come up the 

 fucceeding Spring, and the fecond 

 Seafon will flower ! but this is not 

 the fureit way to preferve the Kinds ; 

 for they may be apt to vary from 

 the Sorts fown. 



FIL1X, Fern. There are great 

 Varieties of this Plant in the dif- 

 ferent Parts of the World, but par- 

 ticularly in America, as may be feen 

 in the Natural Hi/lory of Jamaica, 

 publi fried by Sir Hans Sloane, Bart, 

 and in Phonier* s American Ferns : 

 but as they are Plants which are 

 feldom propagated in Gardens, I 

 mail pafs them over in this Place.
