There are feveral other Species of 

 this Plant, which are found upon the 

 Sea-coafts of Italy, Spain, and the 

 Southern Parts of France ; but thefe 

 here mention'd are all the Sorts I 

 have obferv'd in the Englifo Gar- 

 dens. The nrft and fourth Sorts are 

 found upon the Sea-coafts in divers 

 Parts of : England, efpecially the firft, 

 which is the moft common; the other 

 being only found in fome particular 

 Places. The eighth Sort has been 

 found on the Coaft of Norfolk. The 

 fecond and third Sorts are pretty 

 common in the Southern Parts o( 

 France. The fifth Sort was found 

 by Monf. Tournefori in the Levant, 

 The fixth, which is the moft beau- 

 tiful of all the Sorts, was found by 

 Mr. Ray in great Plenty in divers 

 Parts of Sicily ; and Clujius obferv'd 

 it at Malaga, and about Cadiz. The 

 ftventh Sort, which grows to the 

 Stature of a Shrub, was found in 

 Sicily by Pere Bccconc, and by him 

 fjgnrM and defcrib'd in his Book of 

 Rare Sicilian Plants. 



The five firft-mention'd Sorts are 

 pretty hardy, and will endure the 

 Cold of our ordinary Winters very 

 well, provided they have a fandy 

 Soil, and a warm Situation : thefe 

 may be propagated by parting the 



Roots
