be planted in Pots, and (helterM in 

 Winter, in the fame manner as hath 

 been directed for that Sort;for which 

 fee lberis. 



The twenty firft Sort is generally 

 fuppofed to be the firft fh/a/pi cf 

 Diofcoridesy the Seeds of which he 

 prescribes for medicinal Ufe : the 

 lower Leaves of this Plant are cut 

 into very fine Segments, fo as at the 

 firft Appearance to refemble the 

 wild Camomile; but when the Stems 

 arife they are garnilhed with oval 

 intire Leaves, which embrace them 

 like the Thorough-wax, to which 

 they bear a great Refemblance. 



This is an annual Plant, which 

 perifhes when the Seeds are ripe ; 

 and if the Seeds are permitted to 

 fcatter, the Plants will come urr in 

 Autumn, and live thro* the Winter; 

 or the Seeds mould be fown in Au- 

 tumn ; for thofe which are fown in 

 Spring, do feldom live to perfect 

 Seeds.

The CharaSIers are ; 



*1 'he Flower conjijis of four Leaves , 

 which are placed in form of a Crofs ; 

 cut of whefe Cup rifes the Point a I, 

 •which afterward becomes a double 

 fmooth Fruity compofed of two Paris, 

 that arc fparated by an intermediate 

 Partition ; each of which fwells with 

 41 red Seedy which is generally flat and 

 cblong.

All the Sorts are annual or 

 biennial Plants (except the laft), 

 which perifh foon after they have 

 perfected their Seeds. Thefe are 

 Plants of no great Beauty ; fo are 

 rarely cultivated, except in the Gar- 

 dens of thofe who are curious in 

 Botany. If the Seeds of thefe are 

 fown upon a Bed of light Earth in 

 the Autumn, the Plants will abide 

 the Winter, and will flower ltrong 

 the following Spring ; and from thefe 

 a much greater Quantity of Seeds 

 may be fav'd. 



The lalt Sort is a perennial Plant, 

 which at prefent is very rare in Eng- 

 land: this produces Flowers much 

 larger than thofe of the Candy tuft- 

 tree, which makes a fine Appearance 

 in the Winter-feafon. This Sort
