Garden, will grow very well : this 

 is a perennial Plant, the Roots abide- 

 ing, if in a poor dry Soil, two or 

 three Years ; but when planted in a 

 moift or very rich Soil, it feldom 

 continues longer than one Year, 

 especially if it flowers the nrft Sum- 

 mer. 



The fecond Sort Mr. Ray found 

 growing amougft Corn, betwixt 

 Swafham and Burnwel in Cambridge- 

 shire. 



The third and fourth Sorts were 

 brought from abroad : thefe are 

 annual Plants, and either mould 

 be fown every Spring, pr their Seeds 

 buffered to fcatter themfelves ; for 

 the Plants will arife in Autumn from 

 the Seeds which fall; and if the' 

 Winter does not prove too {harp, 

 they will abide without any Care, 

 and flower early the fucceeding 

 Spring. Thefe Plants, tho' there is 

 not much Beauty in them, yet may 

 be permitted to have a Place in large 

 Gardens, for Variety, efpecially as 

 they require very little Culture. 

 They delight moft in a warm light 

 Soil ; but will grow in almoft any 

 Soil, if it be not over-dung'd. 



The fifth Sort was found by Dr. 

 feurnefort in the Levant, who fent 

 the Seeds to Paris. It is a biennial 

 Plant, which may be propagated by 

 Seccs, as the other Sorts ; but mould 

 Jiave a light poor Soil, in which it 

 will endure the Cold of the Winter 

 much better than if fown on a rich 

 Ground. 



GLAUX, Sea Milkwort. 



The Characters are; 

 li hath a bell-Jhaped Flower, con- 

 Jifiing of one. Leaf, nvhofe Brims are 

 expanded, and cut into federal Seg- 

 ments : from the Centre arifes the 

 Tointal, nvhich afterward becomes a 

 rcund Fruit or Hujk, opening from the 

 T op downward, and filled with fmall 

 §ttdj.

The Species are ; 



1. Glaux maritima. C.B. P. Se* 

 Milkwort, or black Saltwort. 



2. Glaux maritima, fore albo. 

 Toum. Sea Milkwort, with a white 

 Flower. 



3 Glaux palujiris, fore jiriato 

 claufo, fcliis portulacre. Toum. Marfh 

 Milkwort, with a ftriped Flower, 

 and Purflane-leaves. 



Thefe Plants grow wild in Eng- 

 land, and are rarely preferved in 

 Gardens, unlefs for the fake of Va- 

 riety. They may be taken up in 

 the Places of their Growth, and 

 planted in Pets rilled with poor gra- 

 velly Earth, and in Summer mull be 

 frequently watered : with this Ma- 

 nagement they may be preferved, 

 and will produce Flowers every 

 Year. 



GLpCHOMA, Ground-ivy. 



The Qhamclers are ; 

 It hath a labiated Flower, eonfiJl~ 

 ing of one. Leaf, having a narrow 

 comprefidlube : the Upper-lip is ereel, 

 and bifd : the Beard is large and 

 open, and is divided into three ; the 

 middle Segment being large and bor- 

 dered : there are four Stamina under 

 the Upper- lip, two of them being longer 

 than the other : after the Flower is 

 pajl, there are four naked Seeds, 

 which are inclofed in the Empale- 

 ment. 



This Genus of Plants is joined to 

 the Calaminth by Dr. Tournefort ; 

 but by Dr. Boerhaave it is feparated, 

 and made a diftinct Genus, by the 

 Title of Chamaeclema; which being 

 a compound Name, Dr. Linneeus 

 has altered it to this of Qlechoma, 

 vyhich is a Name in Diofcorides ; 

 and he has added to it one Species 

 of Marrubiafirum : the old Name 

 of this Genus was Hedera terreflris. 

 The Species are ; 



I. Glechoma foliis reniformibus 

 crenatis. Lin. Hort. Cliff, Ground-
