HEDYPNOIS, Trailing crook- 

 ed-feeded Hawk weed. 

 The Characlers are; 



The Cup of the Flower is like a 

 Jlriated Column, or a Melon : the lit- 

 tle Leaves of the Flower -cup, when 

 the Flower is fallen cjf, embrace each 

 of them one fingle iimbilicated Seed ; 

 but in the Middle of the little Head 

 are other naked Seeds, which fornt 

 an Head. 



The Species are ; 



t. Hedypnois annua. Tourn. 

 Trailing crooked-feededHawkweed, 

 or common Hedypnois.

 nua. Tourn. Cor. Annual Hedypnois

3. Hedypnois annua, capite 

 maxima. Boerh. Ind. Annual He-

Thefe Plants are feldom propa- 

 gated, except in Botanic Gardens, 

 for the fake of Variety, as being 

 Plants of no great Beauty or Ufe. 

 The firft and third Species are found 

 wild in the Southern Parts of France, 

 in Spain, and Italy ; but the fecond 

 Sort was brought from Crete by 

 Monfieur Toumefort. Thefe may all 

 be propagated by fowing their Seeds 

 toward the latter End of March, or 

 the Beginning of April, in an open 

 Situation, and a dry Soil, where they 

 may remain to flower and feed ; for 

 they care not tQ be tranfplanted. The 

 Diftance which thefe Plants mould 

 be allowed, muft not be lefs than a 

 Foot ; and if the Soil be good, a 

 Foot and an half afunder will be full 

 little enough ; for they are very apt 

 to fpread to a great Diftance j and 

 their Branches trailing upon the 

 Ground, would occafion their rot- 

 ting, were they to ftand too clofe to- 

 gether. Thefe Plants produce their 

 Flowers in June and July; and their 

 Seeds are perfected in Augtfi, when 



H E 



they mould be gathered, and p*e- 

 ferved for the fuceeding Year.
