s o 



fame manner as hath been directed 

 for the former Sorts ; otherwife they 

 will not thrive in England. 



The twenty- fifth and twenty-fixth 

 Sorts, being Natives of the Cape of 

 Good Hope, are lefs tender than any 

 of the other Kinds. Thefe muft be 

 preferv'd in Pots, and plac'd in a 

 good Green-houfe in Winter, where 

 they mould have a large Share of free 

 Air in mild Weather ; but muft be 

 fecur'd againft Froft, during the 

 Winter-feafon. They will require 

 to be frequently refrefh'd with Wa- 

 ter ; but in cold Weather it muft be 

 given to them in moderate Quanti- 

 ties; and in Summer the Plants 

 lhould be plac'd in the open Air, in 

 a warm-fhelter'd Situation, during 

 which Seafon they will require a more 

 plentiful Supply of Water in dry 

 Weather ; for they are thirfty Plants, 

 as are all of the Tribe. 



The climbing Sorts of Nightfhade 

 may be propagated by Cuttings, 

 which mould be taken off in May; 

 and thofe of the tender Kinds mould 

 be planted in Pets filled with frefh 

 Earth, and plunged into an Hot-bed 

 of Tanners Bark, where they lhould 

 be carefully fcreen'd from the Heat 

 of the Sun every' Day, until they 

 have taken Root ; after which they 

 may be treated in the fame manner 

 as thofe Plants which come from 

 Seeds. But the twenty-ninth Sort, 

 which is more hardy, will not re- 

 quire fo much Care ; for if the Cut- 

 tings of this Kind are planted in a 

 (hady Eorder, they will take Root, 

 and may be afterward taken up, and 

 potted, and placed in a warm Situa- 

 tion in the open Air till Ocloher, 

 when they muft be remov'd into the 

 Green-houfe for the Winter-feafon. 



Thefe Plants, when they thrive 

 well, and produce plenty of Fruit, 

 make an agreeable Variety amongft 

 cth^r Exotic Plants in the Stove and 



s o 



Green-houfe, efpecially in the Win- 

 ter *feafon ; at which time they com- 

 monly have plenty of Fruit, which 

 make a pretty Appearance, whea 

 there are not many other Plants in 

 Beauty. And fome of thefe Sorts, 

 whofe Flowers are large, and of 

 beautiful Colours, make a fine Ap- 

 pearance, and are worthy of a Place 

 in the Stove, tho 1 they do not con- 

 ftantly produce Fruit in this Cli- 

 mate; efpecially the thirteenth Sort, 

 whofe Flowers are very large, and 

 of a fine blue Colour ; and the twen- 

 tieth Sort, whofe Flowers, though, 

 fmall, yet being produe'd in long 

 Clufters, and being of a fine blue Co- 

 lour, make a beautiful Appearance ; 

 and thefe frequently flower in the 

 Winter-feafon. 



The thirteenth, fourteenth, and 

 fixteenth, being annual Plants, the 

 Seeds (hould be fown early in the 

 Spring ; and the Plants muft be 

 brought forward in Kot-beds, other- 

 wife they will not produce ripe Fruit 

 in this Country ; for they feldom 

 flower until the Middle of July, and 

 the Plants perifh on the firft Ap- 

 proach of Cold in the Autumn. 

 SOLDANELLA, Soldanel. 



The Characters are ; 

 It hatb a bell-jbaped Flower, ton- 

 fifting of one Leaf, which is, for the 

 tnoji part, fringed: the Pointal, which 

 arifes from the lower Part of the 

 Empalement, afterward becomes a 

 Fruit of a cylindrical Figure, opening 

 at the Top, and full of Seeds, which 

 adhere to a Placenta. 

 The Species are; 



1. Soldanella Alpina rotundi fo- 

 lia. C. B. P. Round-leav'd Solda- 

 nel of the Alps. 



2. Soldanella Alpina rotundifo -
