The firft Sort is rarely cultivated 

 in Gardens; but grows wild under 

 the Sides of Hedges in divers Parts 

 of 'England ; and is there gather'd for 

 medicinal Ufe. It may be eafily 

 propagated, by fowing the Seeds 

 foon after they are ripe, under the 

 Shelter of Bufties, where, in the 

 Spring, the Plants will come up, 

 and fpread their Branches over the 

 Bulhes, and fupport themfelves, re- 

 quiring no farther Care ; and their 

 j Roots will abide many Years in the 

 Ground, without decaying. 



The fecond Sort was difcovered 

 in the Ifland of Crete, by Dr. Toume- 

 fort, who fent their Seeds to the 

 Royal Garden at Paris : this is an 

 abiding Plant, which is hardy enough 

 to live in the full Ground in Eng- 

 land. 



The other Sorts were difcovered in 

 America by Father Plumier : moil of 

 thefe grow wild in the uncultivated 

 Parts of Jamaica, and the other 

 Jflands in the Weft-Indies : thefe 

 Plants are preferved in fome Botanic 

 Gardens, for the fake of Variety ; 

 but as they have but little Beauty, 

 they are feldom admitted into other 

 Gardens ; for they will not live thro' 

 (the Wimer in England, unlefs they 

 are preferved in a Stove.

 common in Appearance ; but is 

 much larger, and has lefs Scent. 



All thefe Sorts are eafily propaga-

 if permitted to remain undifturb'd,
