 dens. 



The eighth Sort was difcovered by 

 Dr. Tourhefirt in the Levant ; but 

 is not common in Europe : this hath 

 a broader Leaf than the common 

 Sort, and the Flower is much fmall- 

 cr. It is preferved in feme curious 

 Botanic Gardens, for the fake of 

 Variety. 



The ninth and tenth Sorts are very 

 different from either of the former : 

 thefe have four or five Leaves, pro- 

 duced at each Joint, which are 

 much longer and narrower than thofe 

 of the common Sort; fo that they 

 make a very different Appearance ; 

 therefore mould be allowed a Place 

 in large Gardens, for the fake of 

 Variety. 



All thefe Sorts are as hardy as the 

 common Solomon's Seal, and may be 

 propagated by parting of their Roots, 

 in the fame manner as is directed for 

 the common Sort. 



The eleventh Sort is a Native of 

 the warmeft Parts of America, where 

 it grows in the Woods, and climbs 

 on whatever Trees grow near it ; by 

 the Help of which it riles to a great 

 Height. This produces its Flowers 

 in long Bunches, femewhat like the 

 black Brlovy. 



The Seeds of this Plant were fent 

 from Campechy by Mr. Robert Millar, 

 Surgeon. This Plant mutt be pre- 

 ferved in Stoves, otherwife it will 

 not live thro' the Winter in this 

 Country : it may be propagated by 

 Seeds, which mould be fown on an 

 Hot-bed early in the Spring: and 

 when the Plants are come up, they 

 fhonld be treated in the fame man- 

 ner as hath been directed for Diof- 

 coria : with which Management this 

 Plane will thrive, and produce 

 flowers in this Country. 



PQLYPODiUM, Polypody, 



The Characters are ; 

 It is a capillary Plant, with oblong 

 jagged Leaves, having a middle Rib f 

 which joins them to the Stalks running 

 thro' each Divijion. 

 The Species are ; 

 I . Polypodium vulgare. C.3.P. 

 Common Polypody. 



2. Polypodium majus, j errata 

 folio. Barr. Icon. Greater Poly- 

 pody, with a ferrated Leaf. 



3. Polytodium Cumbro-Britan- 

 ma m, pinnulis ad margines lacinia- 

 tis. Raii Syn. Weljh Polypody, with 

 laciniated Leaves. 



There are feveral other Species of 

 this Plant, which- are Natives of 

 America ; fome of which are pre- 

 ferved in fome curious BcisniC Gar- 

 dens for Variety : but as they are 

 rarely cultivated in other Cardens, 

 it is not worth while to enumerate 

 them in this Place. 



The firft Sort is that which is ufed 

 in Medicine, and is found growing 

 upon old Walls, and fhady Banks, in 

 divers'" Parts of England. The fecond 

 feems to be only a Variety of the 

 firft, which differs therefrom in be- 

 ing larger, and having ferrated 

 Leaves. The third Sort was brought 

 from Wales, where it grows in great 

 Plenty, and is the moll beautiful of 

 all the Sorts. Thefe Plants may be 

 propagated by parting of their 

 Roots in the Spring before they 

 fhcot, and mould be planted in a 

 very poor moid Soil, under the 

 Shade of a Wall ; for if they are 1 

 expos'd to the Sun, they will not 

 thrive : they chiefly delight to grow 

 put of the Joints of Walls, and old 

 Buildings ; but are commonly found > 

 expofed to the North.
