hmg and narrow : the Point al after- 

 ward changes to an o<val Seed crown- 

 ed with the Empalement. 



There is but- one Species of this 

 Plant ; which is, 



Lagoeci a. Lin. Hort. Cliff. Ba- 

 ftard, or Wild Cumin. 



We have no other Engli/h Name 

 for this Plant, nor is this a very pro- 

 per one ; but as it has been tided by 

 fome of the antient Botanifts Cumi- 

 num fylvejlre, i. e. Wild Cumin ; 

 and by Dr. Toumefort it is made a 

 diitincT: Genus, by the Title of Cu- 

 biinoidcs ; it may be ihled Wild Cu- 

 min. 



This is an annual Plant, which 

 grows about a Foot high ; the Leaves 

 refembie thofe of the Honewort : the 

 Flowers, which are of a greenim- 

 yellow Colour, are collected in fphe- 

 rical Heads at the Extremity of the 

 Shoots : but there being little Beauty 

 in the Plant, it is rarely cultivated 

 but in Botanic Gardens. It grows 

 plentifully about Aix in Provence^ as 

 alfo in molt of the IA aids of the 

 Archipelago. The Seeds of this 

 riant mould be lb wn in the Autumn, 

 foon after they are ripe ; or if they 

 are permitted to fc&tter, the Plants 

 will come up, and require no other 

 Care but to clear them from Weeds. 

 When the Seeds are fown in the 

 Spring, they commonly remain in 

 the Ground a Year before they 

 grow, and ibmeiimes 1 have known 

 them lie two or three Years in the 

 Ground ; fo that if the Plants do not 

 come up the hrlt Year, the Ground 

 fiiould not be difturbed.
