txteft in the Bark cf the Tree, which 

 in this is thick, fpongy, and fft. 

 The Species are ; 



1. Suber latifohum per pet uo nti* 

 Tens. C. B. P. The broad - lea v\l 

 ever-green Cork-tree. 



2. Subi.r ang-ufli folium non f erra-

There are feveral other Varieties 

 ©f this Tree mentioned in fome of 

 the Italian Catalogues of Plants ; but 

 the two Sorts here mentioned are all 

 I have oblervtl in the Englijb Gar- 

 dens. 



Thefe Trees may be propagated 

 by fowing their Acorns in the Spring, 

 in the manner directed for the Ilex ; 

 to which thefc exactly agree, both 

 in their Characters and Culture : 

 therefore, to avoid Repetition, the 

 Reader is delir'd to turn to that Ar- 

 ticle for farther Infraction. 



SUCCORY. Fide Cichorium. 



SUMACH. Vide Rhus. 



SURIANA. 

 The Characters are ; 



It hath a rofe-Jhafd Flower com- 

 p4s y J of feveral Petals, which are 

 piacd orbicularly, from whofe Em- 

 po.leymnt arifes the Pointal, which 

 afterward becomes the Fruit ; which 

 generally confijh of jour Capfules, in 

 which are included four roundijh 

 Seeds. 



We know but cf one Species of 

 this Plant ; <vi%. 



Suriana foliis port ulac<^ anguftif. 

 Plum. Nov. Gen. Suriana with nar- 

 row Purflain-leaves. 



This Plant was fo named by Fa- 

 ther i 1 1 iimier, who difcover'd it in the 

 French Settlements in America ; in 

 Honour to Dr. Jofeph Surian of 

 Mcirj 'ciilesy who was a very curious 

 Botanift. 



The Seeds cf this Plant were 

 brought, from the Ha<va};na by the 

 late Dr. William Houft 'oun jW'ho iOund

the Plants growing there In Plenty on 

 the Shore, in moift Places, where? 

 the fait Water ufually flows. It alfo 

 grows plentifully in fome Parts of 

 the Ifland of Jamaica. 



It is propagated by Seeds, which 

 mud be fown on an Hot-bed early 

 in the Spring ; and when the Plants 

 are come up, they mult be carefully 

 cleaned from Weeds, and frequently 

 refremed with Water. In warm 

 Weather the Glafles of the Hot- bed 

 mould be raifed every Day, to ad- 

 mit frefh Air to the Plants, to pre- 

 vent their drawing up too weak. 

 When the Plants are fit to remove, 

 they mould be taken up carefully, 

 and each planted in a feparate fmali 

 Pot filled with frefh light Earth, and 

 plunged into an Hot- bed of Tanners 

 Bark, obferving to fhade them until 

 they have taken new Root ; aftef 

 which time they muft be duly wa- 

 ter'd every Evening in hot Weather; 

 and they muft have frefli Air ad- 

 mitted to them every Day, in pro- 

 portion to the Warmth of the Sea- 

 fon. In this Hot-bed the Plants 

 may remain till the Autumn, when 

 the Nights begin to be cold; at 

 which time they mould be remov'd 

 into the Stove, and plung'd into the 

 Bark-bed. During the Winter- fea- 

 fon thefe Plants muft be kept warm, 

 efpecially while they are young, 

 otherwife they will not live through 

 the Winter in this Country. They 

 muft alfo be frequently refreuYd with 

 Water ; but it muft not be given to 

 them in large Quantities in cold 

 Weather ; for too much Moifture in 

 Winter will foon deftroy them. Thefe 

 Plants make but flow Progrefs the 

 firft Year ; afterward they will grow 

 pretty freely, if they are not Hinted. 

 In Winter they muft conftantly be 

 kept in the Stove in this Country, 

 and if they are plung'd into the 

 Bark bed, they wiU make the greater
