The Leaves of the fecond Sort 

 grow near three Feet high ; being 

 fmall at the Bottom, but widening 

 gradually to the Top. Thefe are 

 hollow, and are arched over at the 

 Modth like a Friar's Cowl. Tae 

 Fiowers of this grow on naked Pe- 

 dicles, rifing from the Root to the 

 Height of three Feet : thefe Flow- 

 ers are green. 



The Name was given to this Plant 

 by Dr. Tour.-.efort, in Honour of Dr. 

 Sdrrazi'i, a curious Botanift, who 

 fent the Plant from Canad.y to Dr. 

 Icwncfyrt at Paris. 



As thefe Plants grow on Bogs, it 

 is very difficult to cultivate th'.m in 

 England: forakho' the Winters are 

 much more fevere in the Places of 

 their natural Growth, than they ge- 

 nerally are in England; )et their 

 Summers being much warmer, they 

 thrive much better, and produce their 

 Flowers and Fruif annually ; where- 

 as it is withgreat Difficulty they are 

 kept alive for a Year or two in Eng- 

 land ; and tney have not yet flower- 

 ed in this Country, as I could learn. 

 By the Appearance of fome Plants, 

 which I receiv'd from New- Eng- 

 land, which were taken up on the 

 fame Spot, the two Sorts grow pro- 

 mifcuoufly ; Lut whether they are 

 only accidental Varieties, I caniiot 

 fay. 



The only Method to obtain thefe 

 Plants is, to procure them from the 

 Places of their Growth, and to have 

 them taken up with large Balls of 

 Earth to their Roots, ana planted in 

 Tubs of Ear:h ; which muft be con- 

 ftantly watered during their Paftage, 

 otherwife they will de^ay before they 

 arrive ; and there is little Probai. :lity 

 of rainng thefe Plants from Se-.ds: 

 fo that young Plants mould be taken 

 up to bring over, which are r..ore 

 likely to Hand here, than thofe which 

 have fiower'd two or three times.

When the Plants are brought over* 

 they mould be planted into pretty 

 large Pots ; which fnou!d be filled 

 with foft fpongy Earth, mixed with 

 rotten Wood, Mofs, and Turf, 

 which is very like the natural Soil in 

 which they grow. Thefe Pots mult 

 be conftantly fuppiied with Water, 

 and placed in a lhady Situation in 

 Summer ; but in the Winter they 

 muft be covered with Mofs, or fhel- 

 ter'd under a Frame, otherwife they 

 will not live in this Country ; tho* 

 they have much more fevere Froft in 

 the Countries where they naturally 

 grow ; but there they are covered 

 with Snow, which may be a great 

 Protection co tnem. With this Ma- 

 nagement I have kept fome of thefe 

 Plants aiive two Years ; but they 

 made very litt'eCrogrfs. 



SATUREIA, Savory. 

 The Characters are ; 



// is a Plant of the verticillate 

 Kind, with a laliated Flower, whofe 

 upper Lip ( or Creji ) is divided into 

 two Parts ; lut the lower Lip ( or 

 Beard ) is divided into three Parts, 

 the middle Part being crenated :■ thefe 

 Flowers are prcducd from the IVings 

 of the Leav:s, in a loofe Order, end 

 not in U r horles or Spikes, as are mojl 

 of this Teibe cf Plants, 

 The Sprcies are ;

The firit of thefe Plants is annual, 

 and is propagated by fowing the 

 Seeds upon a Bed of frefh light 

 Earth in March ; and when the 

 Plants are come up, they muft be 

 tranfpianted into other Beds, place- 

 ing them about four cr five Inches 

 afunder each Way; obferving to do 

 this in moift cloudy Weather, be-
