been brought to feveral curious Gar- 

 dens in Europe. This is a tender 

 Plant ; fo the Seeds fhould be fown 

 on an Hot- bed early in the Spring ; 

 and when the Plants are come up, 

 they mould be each tranfplanted into 

 a fmall feparate Pot with frefh light 

 undung'd Earth, and then plunged 

 into a moderate Hot- bed of Tanners 

 Bark,obferving to made them from 

 the Sun in the Middle of the Day 

 for a little time, if the Weather 

 fhould prove hot, until they have 

 taken new Root ; after which time 

 they mould have free Air admitted 

 to them every Day, in proportion to 

 the Warmth of the Seafon ; and in 

 hot Weather they muft be frequent - 

 ly refrefh'd with Water : but as the 

 Leaves and Branches are i'ucculent, 

 theylhould not have too muchMoift- 

 ure, left it rot them. In July the 

 Ptants will begin to flower, and in 

 September the Seeds will ripen, and 

 the Plants will perim foon after ; for 

 they are annual ; fo that if the Plants 

 are not brought forward early 

 enough in the Spring, they will not 

 produce good Seeds in this Coun- 

 try. 



The third Sort was brought from 

 the Cape of Good Hope, where it grows 

 in great Plenty near the Sea-fide. 

 The fourth Sort is a Variety of the 

 third, only differing in the Colour of 

 its Flower. Thefe Sorts may be 

 propagated by Seeds, which fhould 

 be fown on a moderate Hot-bed in 

 the Spring ; and when the Plants 

 are come up, they may be tranf- 

 planted on another moderate Hot- 

 bed, to forward their Growth ; and 

 when they are pretty ftrong, they 

 Ihouldbe each planted into a lepan te 

 Pot filled with frefh Earth, and pla- 

 ced on a gentle Plot-bed, to forward 

 their making new Roots ; and in 

 June they mould be enured to bear 



the open Air by degrees, into whic'n 

 they may be remov'd, and plac'd in 

 a warm Situation, amongit Ficoi- 

 des's, and other fucculent Plants, 

 which are Natives of the fame Coun- 

 try ; where they may remain until 

 Oclober, when they mould be re- 

 mov'd into an airy Glafs cafe, where 

 they may be treated in the fame 

 manner as hath been cirecled for 

 the Ficoides's ; with which Manage- 

 ment thefe Plants will thrive very 

 well. Thefe Plants may alfo be 

 propagated by Cuttings, which may 

 be taken from the old Plants during 

 any of the Summer-months ; and 

 mould be laid to dry for a few Days 

 before they are planted, in the fame 

 manner as is praclis'd for other fuc- 

 culent Plants : then they may be 

 planted in a Bed of light Earth, 

 where they will foon take Root, and 

 may be planted afterward in Pots, 

 and treated as the feedling Plants. 



TEREBINTHUS, The Turpen- 

 tine-tree. 



The Char afters are ; 

 It is Mai: a?id Female in different 

 Plants: the Flowers of the Male 

 have no Petals, but conftjl of a Num- 

 ber of Stamina with Chives : the 

 Embryoes, which are produced on the 

 Female Trees, afterward become an 

 oval Fruit with an hard Shell, in- 

 clofmg one or two oblong Ktrnels : to 

 thefe Notes mujl be added, The Leaves 

 are pennated, or wingd, which are . 

 produced by Pairs, oppofte, and end in 

 a fngle Lobe. 



The Species are;

 B. P. The common Turpentine- 

 tree.
