Which remain'd in the Seed-beds 

 unremoved ; for which it is much 

 preferr'd to it in the Markets, where 

 it is called Knotted Marjoram, to 

 diftinguihh it from that which is not 

 fo. Toward the Latter-end of July 

 thefe Plants will flower, which is the 

 proper Seafon to pull them up for 

 medicinal Ufe, when they fhould be 

 hung up in a fhady Place to dry. 



The fecond Sort is a perennial 

 Plant, which is prefcrvcd by fome 

 curious Perfons in Pots, and placed 

 in the Green-houfe in Winter. This 

 Sort never produces Seeds with us ; 

 but is eafily propagated by planting 

 Cuttings or Slips, during any of the 

 Sumrrer months, in a Bed of rich 

 light Earth, obferving to water and 

 made them until they have taken 

 Root: at Michaelmas thefe Plants 

 fhould be taken up, and planted in 

 Pots filled with rich light Earth ; 

 and when they are fettled, they 

 ihould be removed into the Green- 

 houfe, placing them near to the 

 Windows, that they may have a 

 good Share of free Air when the 

 Weather is mild : you muft often re- 

 frelh them with Water ; but never 

 give them too much at once, for 

 that will rot them. With this Ma- 

 nagement the Plants may be preferv- 

 ed frefh thro' the whole Year, and 

 will be in a Condition to gather for 

 Nofegays any Part of the Winter, 

 and have as good a Scent as the 

 fweet Marjoram. 



The third Sort was fent into Eng- 

 land by Sir George Wheeler from 

 Smyrna, where it grows in great 

 Plenty. This Plant rifes to the 

 Height of two or three Feet, and be- 

 comes woody, but never produces 

 any Seeds with us ; tho' it is eafily 

 propagated by planting Slips or 

 Cuttings in any of the Summer- 

 months, after the manner as was di- 

 rected for the former Sort ; and mult 



be houfed in Winter, tho' it muft 

 not be kept too clofe ; for it only re- 

 quires to be protected from great 

 Rains and Froft j but fhould have as 

 much free Air as poffible in mild 

 Weather, oiherwife it is fubject to 

 draw, and grow very weak.

MALLOW-TREE. ^-Althaea. 



MALOPE, Bartard Mallow. 

 The Characters are; 



The Flower, which is Jhaped like 

 that of the Mallow, hath a double 

 Empale/vent, the cuter bring compofd 

 of three hcart-faped Leaves, and the 

 inner is of one Leaf cut into five Seg- 

 ments : the Flower is of one Leaf di- 

 vided into f<ve Parts to the Bottom^ 

 where they are joined ; but it feems to 

 have five Leaves : in the Centre arifes 

 the Pointal, having a great Number 

 of Stamina fur rounding it, which are 

 joined clofely, and form a fort of Co- 

 lumn : the Point al afterguard bt comes 

 a Fruit compofed of many Cells, which 

 are collided into an Head; in each of 

 which is lodged a Jingle Seed. 



We have but one Sort of this 

 Plant ; viz. 



Malope foliis ovatis crenatis gla- 

 bris. Lin. Hort. Cliff. Ballard Mal- 

 low with oval fmooth Leaves, which 

 are notched. 



This Plant was by Dr. Totirnefort 

 feparated from the Mallow, and 

 made a diftindt Genus, by the Title 

 of Malacoidcs : but Dr. Linnceus has 

 altered the Title to this of Mahpe,
