The firft fort grows naturally in moift meadows in 
many parts of England, but is frequently planted in 
gardens for the beauty of its large blue flowers ; of 
this there is a variety with white flowers, and another 
with variegated flowers *, but thefe are apt to dege- 
nerate to the common fort, if they are railed from feeds, 
but by parting of their roots they may be continued. 
It hath a perennial root, which fends up many ftalks, 
which rife near three feet high, garnifned with tar- 
get-fhaped leaves, divided into fix or feven lobes ; 
thefe are cut into feveral acute fegments, after the 
manner of winged leaves, ending in many points. 
The flowers are produced at the top of the ftalks, 
each foot-ftalk fuftaining two flowers, whofe petals 
are large and equal , they are of a fine blue colour, 
and appear in May and June. 
The varieties of this may be prefer ved by parting of 
their roots in autumn ; they may be planted in aim oft: 
any foil or fituation, and require no other culture but 
to keep them clean from weeds. They may alfo be 
propagated by feeds, but by this method they are very 
apt to vary in the colour of their flowers. If the feeds 
of thefe plants are permitted to Latter, the' plants will 
come up without any farther care. 
The fecond fort grows naturally in Germany and 
Switzerland j this hath a thick, flefhy, perennial root,
