$ne Leaf, and is cut into five Parts : 

 the Plower is a ! fo divided irto five 

 Parts to the Bottom : in l kt Centre 

 of the Flower is filiated the Point a/, 

 attended by fit Stamina : the Pointal 

 afterward changes to an o<val Sted- 

 weffcl, heaving one Cell, which is full 

 ef final I Seeds. 



We have but one Species of this 

 Plant; 



Itea humilis, foliis lanceo/atis, 

 forihus fpicatis a Ibis. Dwarf Itea, 

 with fpear-fhaped Leaves, and white 

 Flowers growing in a Spike. 



We have no Englijh Name for this 

 Shrub ; the Latin Name was applied 

 to it by Dr. Gromaius in his Flora 

 Virginica. 



This Shrub grows in moid Soils 

 in feveral Parts of North America, 

 where it riles to the Height of four 

 or five Feet, fending out many- 

 Branches on every Side, from the 

 Ground upward. At the Extremity 

 of the fame Year's Shoots, in the 

 Month of July, are produced fine 

 Spikes of white Flowers, fomewhat 

 refemblir.g thofe of the Comijh 

 Cherry ; and when thefe Shrubs are 

 in Vigour, they will be intircly co- 

 vered with thefe Spikes of Flowers j 

 fo that they make a fine Appearance 

 at their Seafon of flowering. 



At prefent this Shrub is very rare 

 in England: the only Garden where 

 I have feen it in Vigour, is that of 

 his Grace the Duke of Argyll at 

 Whitton, near Houvfiow ; where the 

 Soil agrees lb well with this Flanr, 

 as that it thrives and flowers as well 

 as in its native Country. 



This Shrub will live in the open 

 Air in England, the Cold never in- 

 juring it; but it will not thrive up- 

 on dry gravelly Ground, being very 

 apt to die in fuch Places in the Sum- 

 mer-feafon. It is propagated by 

 Layers;* but as thefe are commonly 

 two Years before they take Root, k 



ju 



cannot be propagated in fuch Plenty 

 as were to be wilhed : for as this 

 Shrub flowers at a Seafon when 

 there are few others in Beauty, it is 

 the more valuable.
