The fir ft Sort is a Native of the 

 Iftand of Candia, and fome other 

 Places in the Levant ; and is too ten- 

 der to live in the open Air in Eng- 

 land, except in very mild Winters. 

 This Sort is of very humble Growth, 

 feldom rifmg a Foot high : the 

 Branches are very (lender, which are 

 garnifhed wi:h a few very narrow 

 Leaves, which are thinly difpofed 

 on them. The Flowers grow from 

 the Wings of the Leaves, and are of 

 a dirty white Colour : the whole 

 Plant is very vifcous, and fmel's like 

 Bitumen. This may be propagated 

 by (owing the Seeds on a Bed of 

 light Earth in the Spring ; and, when 

 the Plants are ftrong enough to re- 

 move, fome of them mould be plant- 

 ed in Pots, that they may be fhe!- 

 tered in the Winter ; and others may 

 be planted in warm Borders, where, 

 if the Winter proves favourable, or 

 the Plants are defended from fevere 

 Fro ft, they may be prtferved. 



This may alfo be propagated by 

 Cuttings, which (hould be planted 

 in June or July ; and if they are 

 fhaded from the Sun in warm Wea- 

 ther, and duly watered, they will 

 take Root in (ix Weeks time,and may 

 then be treated as the fcedling Plants : 

 jf the Plants, in Pots, are placed 

 under an Kct-bed-frame in theWin- 

 {$§, where they may enjoy the open 



Air in mild Weather, and only co- 

 vered when there is Froft, they will 

 fucceed better, than if they are treat- 

 ed more tenderly. 



The fecond and third Sorts grow 

 wild by the Side of Banks, and in 

 the Woods, in raoft Parts of Eng- 

 land: therefore are not admitted into 

 Gardens ; for they fpread greatly 

 by their creeping Roots, and be- 

 come very troublefome Weeds in 

 Gardens 



The fourth Sort is a Native in 

 Italy, from whence the Seeds have 

 been fent to feveral Botanic Gardens, 

 where it is prefer ved for the fake of 

 Variety : but as this (breads at the 

 Root, it is not proper for a Garden ; 

 for it will be as troublefome to de- 

 ftroy, where it has been permitted 

 to grow, as either of the Englifi 

 Kinds. 



GALEOPSIS FRUTESCENS. 



Vide Prafium. 



GALLIUM, Ladies- bed draw, or 

 Chcefe-rennet. 



The CharcSers are ; 

 // is a Plant of the fella te Kind: 

 the Leaves, which are neither rough 

 nor knr.ppy, are produced at the Joints 

 cf the Stalks, five or fx in Number, 

 in a radiant Form : the Flower con- 

 fins of one Leaf which is expanded 

 toward the Upper-part, and divided 

 into feveral Segments : each of theft 

 Flowers are fucceedtd by two naked 

 Seeds.
