Hoary Dwarf Cfius of the Alps, with leffer Cafs-fooi 
leaves. 
The firft fort grows naturally on the chalky hills and 
banks in many parts of England \ the ftalks of this 
plant are ligneous and flender, trailing upon the 
ground, extending themfelves near a foot each way i 
thefe are garniftied with fmall oblong leaves, of a dark, 
green on their upper fide, but of a grayifh colour on 
their under. The flowers are produced at the end of 
the ftalks in loofe fpikes ; they are compofed of five 
deep yellow petals, which fpread open in the day, but 
fbut clofe in the evening •, thefe appear in June and 
July, and are lucceeded by roundifh capfules, inclofing 
many angular feeds, which ripen in Auguft and Sep- 
tember, and the roots laft feveral years. 
The fecond fort grows naturally in Germany ; the 
ftalks of this are much larger, and extend farther than 
thofe of the firft ; the leaves are longer, and are hoary j 
there are three accuminated ftipula at each of the lower 
joints, which are eretft. The fpikes of flowers are 
much longer than thofe of the former, and the flowers 
are white and larger. The empalement of the flowers 
are hairy and whitifh ; thefe differences are lading 
from feeds. 
The third fort grows naturally in the fouth of France, 
in Italy, and Germany. The ftalks of this grow more 
eredt than either of the former, and are more ligneous. 
The joints are farther afunder ; the leaves are longer 
and hairy •, the fpikes of flowers are generally reflex- 
ed ■, they are white, and the fize of thofe of the fecond 5 
the ftipula of this are very narrow. 
The fourth fort grows naturally on the Apennine 
mountains •, the ftalks of this are more erect than thofe 
of the third. The leaves are not fo long, the ftipula 
are very fmall, and the whole plant is very hoary. The 
flowers are white, and the fpikes are fliorter and more 
cornpadt than either of the former. 
The fifth fort grows naturally in the fouth of France, 
in Spain, and Iftria, from the laft country I have re- 
ceived the feeds ; this hath low trailing ftalks, which 
are ligneous, but feldom branch, and are riot more 
than four or five inches long. The leaves are narrow 
and hoary, and have no ftipula at their bafe. The 
flowers are white, and are in fmall clufters at the end 
of the ftalks j this fort feldom continues longer than 
two years. 
The fixth fort hath trailing flmibby ftalks, which 
extend a foot in length, and are garnifhed with very- 
narrow frnooth leaves placed alternate ; but thofe fhort 
ftalks near the root, which do not flower, have fliorter 
and finer leaves growing in clufters thefe have no 
ftipula at their bafe. The flowers are placed thinly 
toward the end of the branches, they are yellow and 
auriculated j this fort grows in the fouth of France 
and Italy. 
The feventh fort hath very long, trailing, ligneous 
ftalks, which are garniftied with fpear-fhaped leaves 
placed oppofite, which are very hairy, and gray on 
their under fide, havihg at their bafe three long 
narrow ftipula. The fpikes of flowers are near a 
foot in length, but grow thinly ; they are large, and 
of a deep yellow colour, with very hairy empale- 
ments ; this grows naturally in the fouth of France 
and Spain. 
The eighth fort hath very fhrubby crooked ftalks, 
covered with a purplifh brown bark like the common 
heath. The branches are flender, and garniftied with 
narrow ftiff leaves like thofe of Thyme, which ftand 
oppofite, having no ftipula at their bafe. The flow- 
ers are produced on naked foot-ftalks, which termi- 
nate the branches in a fort of umbel •, they are of a 
pale yellow colour, and a little lmaller than thofe of 
the common fort ^ this grows naturally on the fands 
near Fontainbleau, in France,
