 Honour to Dr. Gronovius, a learned 

 Bo tan ill at Ley den. 



The Chambers are ; 



The En.palement is of one Leaf, 

 nvhicb is cut into five Parts toward 

 the Top : the ftotofr hath five fmall 

 Petals, ntibich are placed circularly, 

 and expand in form of a Rofe ; and 

 Jit upon the Embryo ; which afterward 

 becomes one naked winged Seed. 



We have but one Species of this 

 Genus ; viz. 



Gronovia fcandens Iappacea, pam* 

 pineafronde. Houft. Climbing burry 

 Gronovia, with Tendrils like the 

 Vine. 



This Plant was difcovered by the 

 late Dr. Houfloun at La Vera Cruz, ; 

 from whence he Tent the Seeds • to 

 Europe, which have fucceeded in 

 many Gardens. It is an annual 

 Plant, which fends forth many trail- 

 ing Branches, like thofe of the Cu- 

 cumber, which are clofely fet with 

 broad green Leaves, in Shape like 

 thofe of the Vine; but they are 

 clofely covered with fmall Spines on 

 both Sides, which lting like the Net- 

 tle ; the Branches have many Ten- 

 drils orClafpers, by which they faften 

 themfelves to whatever Plants they 

 grow near ; and will rife to the 

 Height of fix or eight Feet : the 

 Flowers are fmall, and of a greenifh- 

 yellow Colours fo make no great 

 Appearance. 



This, being a very tender Plant, 

 mull be raifed on an Hot-bed early 

 m tfce Spring, and afterward placed 

 in the Bark-itove, and treated in the 

 fame Way as the Momardica ; with 

 which Management it will produce 

 ripe Seeds : but this, having neither 

 Ufe nor Beauty, is rarely cultivated 

 fcut in Botanic Gardens* for the fake
