 Side. In this Nurfery they may 

 remain five or fix Years, and may 

 then be tranfplanted where they are 

 to remain for good. The belt Sea-

 the End of September, or Beginning 

 of April, ]^ before they (hoot. 



Thefe Trees may alio be propa- 

 gated by Slips, which fliould be 

 planted on a moitl Soil in Autumn ; 

 and iffhaded in very hot dry Weather, 

 molt of them will take Root ; after 

 which they mult be treated as hath 

 been directed for the Layers. 



The Leaves of the common Sort, 

 being bruifed between the Fingers, 

 emit a ftrong Scent, fomewhat like

The Characlers are : 



It hath a labiatcd Flower, like 

 thofe of the Savory, Thyme, and Cala- 

 minth ; from which this Plant differs 

 in having its Flowers grooving in 

 Whorles. 



The Species are; 



1 . Thymera legit: ma. Cluf. Hifl. 

 The true Thymbra of, Cluf us. 



2. Thymbra Hifpanica, coridis

 true Savory of Label. 



The firft Sort rifes about two Feet 

 high, and hath a woody Srem, and

 form a fmall Bum. The Leaves of 

 this Plant are fomewhat like thofe 

 of Savory, and have a itrcng aroma-

 grows plentifully in feveral IHands 

 of the Archipelago ; from whence the 

 Seeds were kut to feveral curious

Perfons, who cultivate it for the fake 

 of Variety. This Kind may be 

 propagated byCuttings, which fliould 

 be planted in theBeginning of April, 

 on a Border, where they may have 

 only the morning Sun ; and in dry 

 Weather they mull be conftantly 

 water'd, until they have taken good 

 Root ; after which time, they will 

 require no farther Care, but to keep 

 them clear from Weeds till Michael- 

 mas ; at which time the Plants 

 fhould be carefully taken up, and 

 tranfplanted ; fome of them into 

 Pots, that they may be fhelter'd in. 

 Winter ; and the others on a dry 

 lean Soil in a warm Situation, where 

 they will endure the Cold of our or- 

 dinary Winters very well ; but in 

 fevere Winters they are frequently 

 deltroyed : therefore it is proper to 

 preferve two or three Plants in Pots 

 under Shelter, left thofe in the open 

 Ai; mould be kilPd. 



The fecond Sort was difcover'd 

 by Dr. Tournefort in Cafile, where 

 it grew plentifully on ftohy Ground. 

 This is a low ever - green bulhy 

 Plant fomewhat like Thyme ; but 

 the Leaves are broader, and the 

 whole Plant has a more dull and 

 fomewhat fetid Smell. This may 

 be propagated by Seeds, or by Cut- 

 tings, as the former Sort; and mould 

 be treated in the fame manner. 



The third Sort grows in feveral 

 Places in Italy and Sicily, commonly 

 on Itony Land, or on old Walls : this 

 is a low Plant, feldom rifing above . 

 fix Inches high, fending forth many 

 upright Branches from the Root, 

 which have Spikes of fmall Flowers, 

 growing in Whorles on their Tops. 

 This Sort is propagated by Seeds, 

 which fhould be fown on a light 

 lean Soil ; and when the Plants are 

 Ilrong enough io transplant, fome of 

 them ihouid be planted in Pots to 

 be IheUcr\l in Winter; and the others
