aion of Plants. The fixth Sort hath 

 not much Beauty in its Flowers ; 

 but is planted in curious Gardens 

 for Variety. Thefe two Sorts have 

 bulbous Roots, which increafe pretty 

 fait (efpecially the fixth), by which 

 they are eafily propagated. Thefe 

 muft be planted in Pots filPd with 

 frefli light Earth : and in Winter 

 they mould be placed under a com- 

 mon Hot-bed-frame, where they 

 ihould have as much free Air aspof- 

 fible in mild Weather 3 but they mull 

 be fhelter'd from Froft, otherwise 

 they will not live in this Country. 

 InSummer they mull be expos'd in a 

 fhady Situation, and in dry Weather 

 jnuft be often refrefhed with Water; 

 but when their Leaves are decay'd, 

 it mould be given fparingly. 



The feventh, ninth, and tenth 

 Sorts may be treated in the fame 

 manner as the former : thefe are 

 preferv'd in curious Gardens for the 

 fake of Variety. 



The eighth Sort was difcover'd 

 by Father Plumier in fome of the 

 French Settlements in America : it 

 was alfo found by the late Dr. Houf- 

 toun near La Vera Ouz; where it 

 \vas growing in great Plenty. This 

 Sort rifes to the Height of two Feet 

 or more, and becomes afmall Shrub; 

 but it hath very little Acidity in the 

 Reaves. This is tenderer than either 

 pf the former Sorts : wherefore it 

 Hiould be kept warmer in Winter, 

 Other wife it will not live in this 

 Country , 



The eleventh Sort is an annual 

 Plant, which is cultivated in all the 

 Gardens of Lima and Peru in the 

 Spani/b I feji- Indies , for its grateful 

 acid Tajte ; it being much ufed by 

 the Inhabitants of thofe Places in all 

 their Sawces. This Sort iirovvs lar- 



o 



ger than the common upiight/jWr/- 

 can Kind : the Flowers are yellow, 

 edged with purple. 



The twelfth Sort grows plentiful- 

 ly in Chili, in thtSpur/ifo Wejl-Indies. 

 It hath beautiful rofe-colour'd Flow- 

 ers, and grows about the fameHeight 

 as the common upright American 

 Sort. 



The thirteenth Sort feldom rifes 

 above two Inches high, and doth not 

 branch as do the former Kinds ; this 

 hath very large yellow Flowers : it 

 grows plentifully on the Borders of 

 the River of Plate. 



The fourteenth Sort hath very 

 large thickRoots, out of which come 

 up theLeaves, which are of a bright^ 

 green Colour on theirUpper-fide,and 

 of a violet Colour underneath. This 

 grows on all the Mountains of Peru. 



All thefe Sorts, being ^Natives of 

 warm Countries, are fomewhat ten- 

 derer than thofe before-mentioned ; 

 for which Reafon they muft be placed 

 in, a v/arm Green-houfe in Winter : 

 but in Summer they may be exposed 

 to the open Air ; and mutt be plenti- 

 fully watered in dry Weather. All 

 thefe Plants wiil produce Seeds in 

 this Country, by which they may be 

 propagated.
