The four firft Species are found 

 wild in moift Meadows in divers 

 .Parts of England, and are never pre- 

 ferved in Gardens, except for the 

 fake of Variety : however, I thought 

 proper to infert them in this Place, 

 to introduce .the other Sorts ; fome 

 of which are beautiful Plants, and 

 are worthy to be prefcrved in all 

 curious Collections of rare Plants. 



The fifth, fixth, feventh, and 

 eighth Sorts are alfo very humble 

 Plants, which grow wild in Spain^ 

 h:dy, and the South of Frcr.cr, and 

 are feldom introduced in Gardens ; 

 for it is Very difficult to get any of 

 thefe Plants to grow, when they are 

 tranfplanted from Fields to Gardens; 

 for they delight to grow amongft the 

 Grafs ! io that when it is clear'd 

 from about them, they feldom 

 thrive. 



P o 



The fixth, feventh, eighth, and 

 ninth Sorts were difcovered by Dr. 

 Tournefort, in the Levant : thefe are 

 alfo low Plants, which grow in the 

 fame manner as the former ; there- 

 fore are not eafily cultivated in Gar- 

 dens : the only Method to get thefe 

 to grow in a Garden, is, to fow their 

 Seeds in Autumn, foon after they 

 are ripe, in a fhady Situation, and 

 a moift Soil ; where the Plants will 

 come up the following Spring, and 

 produce Flowers ; but they feldom 

 continue long after. 



The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth 

 Sorts are Ihrubby Plants, which are 

 preferved in fome curious Gardens 

 for Variety. Thefe may be alfo 

 propagated by Seeds, which m*ou!d 

 be fown on a moderate Hot-bed in 

 the Spring ; and when the Plants 

 are come up, they mould be tranf- 

 planted into feparate Pots filed with 

 frefh light Earth, and then plunged 

 into the Hot bed again, obferving 

 to made them from the Sun until 

 they have taken P^oot ; after which 

 time they mould have a large Share 

 of frefh Air in warm Weather, and 

 muft be frequently watered. About 

 the middle of May thefe Plants 

 mould be inured to bear the open 

 Air by degrees; and in June they 

 may be placed abroad in a meltered 

 Situation, where they may remain 

 during the Summer-feafon ; and in 

 Autumn they muft be removed into 

 the Grcen-houfe, and managed as 

 hath, been directed for Myrtles and 

 Oleanders. Thefe Plants continue a 

 long time in Flower ; io are worthy 

 of a Place in every curious Garden, 

 for the fake of Variety. 



The fourteenth Sort is a Native of 

 the Mountains in the Kingdom of 

 Chily, in the Spanifh Weft -Indies, 

 where it is ufed by the Indians to 

 cure Pleurifiei, and all Complaints - 

 of the Side. This Sort is of low
