 hath been din cled for the Guazuma. 

 The two firit Winters, thefe Plants 

 may be plactd in the Bark -Hove ; but 

 when they have acquirM Strength, 

 they may be inured to bear the open 

 A.r in the warmeft Part of the Sum- 

 mer ; and in Winter they may be 

 placed on Stands in the dry Stqi e, 

 where, if they are kept in a mo- 

 devateTen.perature of Warmth, they 

 will thrive very well, and produce 

 their Flowers every Year in July 

 and Auguft ; bur they rarely peifecl 

 Seedb jn this Country. 



Thty may be a o propagated by 

 laying their Branches down into the 

 Earth : this mould be done in April ; 

 and if they are duly vva.ered, they 

 will be rooted enough to tramp '.ant 

 by the following Year ; when they 

 Ihquld be tak^n off, and tranfplanted 

 into Pots, and managed as is di- 

 rected for the Seedling plants. But 

 when it is propofed to increafe thtfe 

 Plants after this manner, it will be 

 proper >o encourage fome Shoots 

 near the Bo.;om of the Stems of the 

 eld Plants (from whence they are 

 very apt to fend forth Shoots) ; be- 

 caufe thefe will be much more con- 

 venient to make Layers, than thofe 

 which are placed higher from the 

 Earth. 



Some of thefe Plants will grow 

 from Cuttings, when they are rightly 

 managed Thefe Cutiings mould 

 be planted in the Beginning of April 

 C jurt before the Plants begin to l'hoot) 

 in Pots filled with rich light Earth, 

 and plunged into a moderate Hot- 

 Led of Tanners Bark, obftrving to 

 water and (hade them until they 

 have taken P.oot, which will be in 

 about twoMonths, if they fucceed ; 

 when they may be inured to bear 



the open Air by degrees; and in 

 Augujl ihey may be tranfplanted into 

 fjparate Pots, and afterward mult 

 be managed as is before directed for 

 the Seedling-plants and Layers. The 

 Plants tnus raifed, will produce 

 Flowers much fooner than thofe 

 raifed from Seed; but they feldom 

 grow to make fo large Plants as 

 thofe do. 



pUNDELIA. 



This Plant was fo named by Dr. 

 Towwfrt, in Honour to Dr. Gun- 

 dd/cbeimer, who found it in his 

 Travels in Company with Dr. Tour- 

 ncfort in the Levant. 



The Chambers are ; 

 is a Plant nuith a fiofculous 

 Floxver, gathered into a kind of Head, 

 covjifirtg of ynany Florets, coming out 

 of a common Empalemer.t, and fitting 

 on the Embryo, s of the Seed, nuhich 

 are hid in the Cells of the Empale- 

 ment, and afterguard become roundifb, 

 §eeds ending in a Point. 

 The Spuies are; 



I. Gun deli a Orientalis, acanthi 

 aculeati fotiis, fot ihus intenfe pur- 

 pureis, capite araneofa lanugine cbfito. 

 Tourn. Cor. Eaftern Gundelia, with 

 a prickly Bears- breech leaf, deep- 

 purple Flowers, and an Head woven, 

 as it were, with a Cobweb. 



2 Gundelia Orientalis, acanthi 

 aculeati folio, capite glabra. Tourn. 

 Cor. Eaftern Gundelia, with a 

 prickly Bears - breech - leaf, and a 

 fmooth Head. 



The fecond Sort is figur'd and de- 

 fcribed in the fecond Volume of Dr. 

 Toumefcrt's Ttavels in the Levant. 

 It wa.- difcovered, as I faid, by Dr. 

 Qundcljchcimer near Baibout, in their 

 journey to Armenia, growing in dry 

 ftony Places. 



The fit ft Sort feems to be a Va- 

 riety of the fecond, and was found 

 intermixed with it in the fame 

 Places.
