I i (lance from the Root ; the Flow- 

 ers come out on long Footllalks 

 from the Divifion of the Branches, 

 which are fuccceded by the Fruit. 

 Thefe, when they are ripe, divide 

 into feveral Parts ; fo that, if* they 

 are not gather'd, they will focn drop 

 off. 



The other three Sorts, being Na- 

 tives of hot Countries, are very ten- 

 der ; fo mult be fown on an Hot bed 

 early in the Spring ; and when the 

 Plants are come up, they mull be 

 each transplanted into a fcparate Pot 

 fill'd with rich light Earth, and then 

 phing'd into an Hot-bed of Tanners 

 Bark, where they muft be treated in 

 the fame manner as other tender 

 Exotic Plants ; being careful to bring 

 them forward as early as pcffible in 

 the Summer ; otherwife they will not 

 perfect their Seeds in this Country. 



Tliefe are all of them annual 

 Plants, whofe Branches trail on the 

 Ground, in the fame manner as the 

 common Sort; but when their Roots 

 are pretty much conhVd in the Pots, 

 they will not grow fo vigorous as 

 when planted in the full Ground, or 

 in very large Pots ; fo will flower 

 and fruit much earlier in the Seafon. 

 The fecond Sort produceth large 

 Flowers, which have an agreeable 

 Scent. 



TRICHCMANES, Maiden-hair. 



There are three or four Varieties 

 of this Plant, which grow in Europe ; 

 but in America there are a great 

 Number of Species, which are re- 

 markably different from each other, 

 as alfo from the European Kinds. 



Thefe, being of the Tribe of 

 Ferns, are feldom preferv'd in Gar- 

 dens, but where any Perfon is curi- 

 ous to collect them. Their Roots 

 fhould be planted in moilt fhady Pla- 

 ces, efpecially the European Sorts, 

 which commonly grow from between 

 the Joints of old Walls, about Wells, 



and in other very moift ftiady Situa- 

 tions : but thofe Sorts which are 

 brought from hot Countries, muft 

 be planted in Pots filPd with Rub- 

 bifh, and Itrong Earth mix'd ; and 

 in Winter they muft be fcreen'd from 

 hard Frofts ; to which if they are 

 expos'd, it will deftroy them. 



The common Sort in England is 

 generally fold in the Markets for the 

 true Maiden- hair, which is a very 

 different Plant, and not to be found 

 in England, it being a Native of the 

 South of France, and other warm 

 Countries ; fo is rarely brought to 

 England. 



TRIFOLIUM, Trefoil. 



The Characters are ; 

 It hath a papilionaceous Flower, or 

 refembles a papilionaceous Flower ; for 

 it conjijls of the Standard ; the Wings 

 and the Keel coming out of the Em- 

 palement, together with the Pointal, 

 covered with its fringed Sheath ; 

 which becomes a Capfule hidden in 

 the Empaltmcnt, and full of Seeds, 

 which are, for the mojl part, Jbaptd 

 like a Kidney, adhering clofe to the 

 Capful§ when ripe : fome of this Genus 

 have Flowers confijiing of one Leaf, 

 refemhling a papilionaceous Flower ; 

 out of whofe Empaltment arifes the 

 Pointal, which afterward becomes a 

 membranaceous Capfule hiddtn in the 

 Empalement , and filled with kidney- 

 Jhaped Seeds : to thefe Notes mufi be 

 added, Leaves growing by Threes, on 

 a common Footjialk. 

 The Species are ; 



1 . Trifolium purpureum tnajus 

 fativum, pratenfi fimile. Raii Syn. 

 Greater purple manur'd Trefoil, 

 commonly call'd Clover. 



2. Tri folium praienfe purpureum 

 vulgare. Mor. Hijl. Common mea- 

 dow Trefoil, with a purple Flower, 

 commonly call'd Honeyfuckle Tre- 

 foil. 



3. Trifolium pre.tevfe album,
