[ Northern Parts of America ; where 

 lit has been frequently us'd as an 

 Emetic, and is commonly cali'd Ipe- 

 cacuana. One of the hrft Peri cms 

 who brought it into Ufe, was Dr. 

 linkar; from whence many of the 

 Inhabitants have call'd it by the 

 Name of Dr. Tmkar\ Weed. ■ The 

 Leaves of this Phut greatly refemble 

 thofe of the true Ipecacuana ; but 

 the Roots are very different: and, 

 by the moll authentic Account we 

 have of the true Sort, it differs in 

 Flower and Fruit from this Piant. 



It grows on low marfhy Grounds, 

 rear Bo/ion in Netv-Eng/aad, very 

 plentifully; where the Roots are 

 taken up every Year, and are con- 

 tinued in Ufe amongft the Inhabit- 

 ant of Bojion. 



This Plant is preferv'd in feveral 

 curious Gardens of England, and is 

 hardy enough to thrive in me open 

 Air; but it mould be planted on a 

 'rooiit light Soil : for if it is on a dry 

 Ground, there muft be Care taken 

 to water the Plants conftantly in dry 

 Weather, other wife they will not 

 thrive. It may be propagated by 

 Seeds, which mould be fown on a 

 Border of light Earth, where the 

 morning Sun only comes on it; but 

 if thefe Seeds are fown in the Spring, 

 they will remain in the Ground a 

 whole Year, before the Plants will 

 come up ; fo that during this time 

 the Border muft be conilantly kept 

 clear from Weeds ; and the follow- 

 ing Spring, when the Plants appear, 

 they mould be duly water'd in dry 

 Weather, which will greatly pro- 

 mote the Growth of the Plants. 

 They muft alfo be conftantly kept 

 clean from Weeds ; which, if per- 

 mitted to grow amongft them, will 

 foon overbear the Plants while they 

 are young ; and either quite de- 

 ftroy the Plants, or fo much weaken 



them, that they will not recover in 

 a long time. 



The Plants may remain in this 

 Seed border until the Michaelmas 

 following, when they fhou-ld be care- 

 fully taken up, and tranfplanted 

 where they are defignM to remain. 

 Some of them mould be phnted in 

 Pot?, that they may be iheker'd ia 

 Winter ; left thcfe which are in the 

 full Ground ihould be deilroy'd by 

 fevere Froft. 



This Plant may be aTo propaga- 

 ted by parting of the Roots. The 

 belt S:afon for this Work is in the 

 Spring, juft before the Plants begin 

 to moot, which is commonly about 

 the Middle or Latter-end of March : 

 but in do.ng of this, the Roots muft 

 not be parted too fmall ; for that 

 will prevent their flowering ftrong. 

 This Plant ufually grows about two 

 Feet high, and the Flowers come 

 out from the Wings of the Leaves ; 

 which, being fmail,' make no great 

 Figure in a Garden. However, a 

 few of the Plants may be allow'd a 

 Place in fome moift Wildernefs- 

 quarters, where they are not too 

 much overfhaded by Trees ; where 

 they will thrive, and add to the 

 Variety. 



This Plant perfects its Seeds in 

 this Country every Year ; which if 

 fown in Autumn, as foon as they are 

 ripe, the Plants will come up the fol- 

 lowing Spring ; by which means a 

 whole Year will be faved. Thefe 

 feedling Plants will not flower until 

 the third Year ; and then they fel- 

 dom grow fo ftrong as the older 

 Plants.
