CHAPTER 28. 
U V E D A L E, 
Dr. UvEDALE lived at Enfield ^ where he 
cultivated a garden^ v^hich appears to have 
been rich in exotic produdlions. And al- 
though he is not knov/n among thofe who 
advanced the indigenous botany of Britairiy 
yet his merit as a botanift^ or his patronage 
of the fcience at large^ was confiderable 
enough to incline Petiver to apply his 
name to a new plant, which Miller re- 
tained in his Diftionary; but which has 
fmce palTed into the genus Polymnta^ of the 
L,inncea7t fyftem ^ the author of which has 
neverthelefs retained Uvedalia, as the trivial 
epithet.
