Part II. Of Berry &>c. 
the Wooll. They are compofed chiefly of two long and 
thin Leaves, admirably rowled up into an Oval Figure 5 as 
I may have occahon elfe where to reprefent. They are 
fomctimes an Ingredient in Pectoral Medicines. Some 
Cotton Wooll, though of its felf, pure white 3 yet contrary to 
Flax and Hemp, loofeth of its whitenefs by being wafhed. 
But whether it be that of this Shrub, or that of the Cotton- 
Tree 3 or whether, according to the Climate, Sec. there is 
not good and bad of both, I determine not. 
SAVINE-BERR YS. About as big as thole of the com- 
mon Juniper, and of a blackifh blew. The little Sprigs, (of 
which there are fome here) are fquare 3 and not prickly, as 
thofe of the other Species. The Shrub, called Sabina Bac- 
cifera, and defcribed by Bellonius, grows plentifully in fome 
places in Afia. 
The ROSE of JERICO, or CHRISTMAS-ROSE. Rofa 
Hierichuntina. Either an ignorant, or a crafty Name, 
agreeing neither to the place, nor nature of the Plant. For 
about Jericho 'tis no where found, (a) but in Arabia, upon , a 
the fhore of the Red-Sea. A woody Shrub, but grows not us 
above a foot or there about in height. Originally of an 
Aromatick fmell. The Leaves of this are foft , but the 
Flowers remain, fomewhat lefs than thofe of Cumfrey, and 
feem to confift only of two Leaves. All the Branches are 
clofed up together, with fome fefemblance to the Um- 
bel of the Plant called Bees-Neft, or fome others of that 
kind. 
Being let in Water, its feveral Branches will gradually 
be expanded. Which fome Importers knowing , choofe 
Chriftmas-Eve for the Experiment, and fo make people be- 
lieve that it only opens at that time. 
ANOTHER of the fame lefs globous, or with the 
Branches more erecT. 
Part of an INDIAN PLANT , in Ihape like a Woofc 
Combe 3 being compofed of a number of ftrait black Teeth, 
very (harp, near as thick as a CockzSpur, and moft of them 
two inches long, naturally fet upright , as it were, in a 
wooden-foe ket.
