each of the branches is terminated by one large yellow 
flower, whofe empalement is compofed of oval fcales. 
It flowers in July and Auguft, but never perfeds 
feeds in this country. 
The eleventh fort grows naturally in Hungary; this 
rifes with Angle upright ftalks near two feet high, 
garnifhed with oval fpear-fhaped leaves, which are 
llightly indented on the edges, and fit clofe to the 
ftalks, which are hairy, and divide in form of a co- 
rymbus at the top. The flowers are pretty large, of 
a pale yellow colour* and appear in July, but are not 
fucceeded by feeds in this country. 
The twelfth fort grows naturally in the Canary Iflands ; 
this rifes with feveral fhrubby ftalks near four feet 
high, Which divide into fmaller branches, garnifhed 
with clufters of narrow flefhy leaves, which are di- 
vided into three fegments at their points. The flowers 
come out on the fide of the branches at the top of 
the ftalks ; they are fmall, and of a pale yellow co- 
lour, appearing in Auguft. 
The fecond, third, fourth, fixth, feventh, eighth, 
and ninth forts are abiding plants, which will thrive 
and flower in the open air in England ; they may be 
all propagated by parting of their roots. The beft 
time for doing of this is in autumn, at which time 
the plants may be removed ; thefe may be intermixed 
with other flowering plants in the borders of large 
gardens, where they will make an agreeable variety 
during their continuance in flower. As thefe roots 
multiply pretty faft, they fhould be allowed room 
to fpread, therefore fhould not be planted nearer 
than two feet from other plants ; and if they are re- 
moved every third year, it will be often enough, pro- 
vided the ground between them is dug every winter, 
and, in fnmmer, if they are kept clean from weeds, 
they will require no other care. 
As fome of thefe forts produce good feeds in England, 
they may be propagated by fowing of the feeds in 
the autumn, on a border of light earth expofed to the 
eaft, where the morning fun only is admitted ; and in 
the fpring, when the plants appear, they fhould be 
kept clean from weeds till they are fit to remove, when 
they fhould be tranfplanted on a fhady border, fix 
inches afunder, obferving to fhade and water them till 
they have taken new root ; and during the fummer 
feafon they fhould be kept clean from weeds, and in 
autumn they may be tranfplanted into the borders 
where they are to remain. 
The tenth fort grows naturally iii the fouth of France, 
and on the Pyrenean mountains. This hath a thick 
fibrous root, which is perennial, fending out many 
oblong indented leaves, whofe bafe runs along the 
ftalks from one joint to another : from the root arife 
three or four ftalks about two feet high, which divide 
each into three or four fmall branches, which are ter- 
minated by clufters of fmall yellow flowers, fitting 
clofe between the fmall leaves ; thefe appear in June 
and July, and are fucceeded by narrow feeds, crowned 
with down, which ripen in the autumn. 
It is propagated by feeds, which fhould be fown on 
a bed of light earth early in the fpring ; in May the 
plants will appear, which fhould be kept clean from 
weeds till they are fit to tranfplant, when they fhould 
be planted in an eaft border, at about fix inches dif- 
tance each way, watering and fhading them till they 
have taken new root ; after which they will require 
no other culture but to keep them clean from weeds 
till the autumn, when they fhould be planted where 
they are defigned to remain. 
The eleventh fort grows naturally near Montpelier, 
and alio in Italy ; this hath a fibrous root, from which 
arife two or three ered ftalks about two feet high, 
garnifhed with ftnooth oval leaves placed alternate, 
fitting clofe to the ftalks the veins of the leaves are 
flender, and formed like - net-work. The ftalks are 
terminated by one yellow flower inclofed in a rough 
fcaly empalement, and at the two joints of the ftalk 
immediately under the flower, come out fmall foot- 
ftalks, with fmaller flowers than thofe on the top. 
This plant feldom continues above two or three years, 
] OH 
therefore young plants fhould be raifed from feeds to 
fucceed them. The feeds may be fown at the fame 
time, and in the fame manner as is directed for the tenth 
fort, and the plants afterward treated in the fame way. 
The fifth fort grows naturally in the fait marfhes 
in feveral parts of England, which are flowed by the 
tides, therefore is feldom admitted into gardens. 
The roots of this are perennial, but the ftalks decay 
in autumn ; and if any one has curioftty to keep a plant 
or two of it in their gardens, they may tranfplant it in- 
to a fhady border from the place of its natural growth, 
and, by keeping it moift in dry weather, it will thrive 
pretty well, but the ftalks will not rife fo high, nor will 
the leaves be near fo flefhy as in the fait marlines. 
The twelfth fort will not live abroad in the open air 
in England, during the winter feafon, fo muft be re- 
moved into fhelter in autumn, but fhould have as 
much free air as poffible at all times, when the wea- 
ther is mild, otherwife it is apt to draw up weak. In 
cold weather the plants muft have very little water, 
for their ftalks and leaves being fucculent, they are 
very apt to rot with too much wet ; in fummer they 
fhould be placed abroad with other hardy exotic plants 
in a fheltered fituation, where they will add to the va- 
riety, though they are plants of no great beauty, and 
feldom flower in England, unlefs the fummer is very 
warm. This is eafily propagated by cuttings, any 
time in fummer, which, if planted in a fhady border, 
will take root in a fhort time. 
The thirteenth fort w r as difcovered by the late Dr, 
Houftoun, growing naturally at La Vera Cruz ; this 
rifes with a fnrubby ftalk about two feet high, divid- 
ing into many fmaller branches, which are hairy, and 
garnifhed with narrow ftiff leaves placed oppofite, 
without foot-ftalks ; from the edges of thefe arife long 
hairs, which are ftiff, and come out by pairs ; at the 
end of the branches arife the naked foot-ftalks, which 
are four or five inches long, fuftaining one fmall, yel- 
low, radiated flower. 
This is propagated by cuttings during the fummer 
feafon, which muft planted on a bed of light earth, 
and fhaded till they have taken root •, after which the 
plants muft be treated in the fame manner as other 
hardy exotics, fheltering them from froft in winter. 
The fourteenth fort was fent me from Maryland, 
where it grows naturally •, this rifes with a ftrong 
ftalk about a foot and a half high, which is pretty 
clofely fet with prickly hairs, and garnifhed with 
rough fpear-fhaped leaves, about three inches long, 
and near one inch broad in the middle : toward 
the upper part of the ftalk there are fingle flowers 
coming from the wings at each joint, and the ftalk 
is terminated by a clufter of fmall yellow flowers, dif- 
pofed in form of an umbel. This plant flowers here in 
Auguft, but has not as yet perfe&ed feeds in England. 
The fifteenth fort was difcovered growing naturally 
at Carthagena, by the late Dr. Houftoun *, this rifes 
with a fhrubby ftalk to the height of ten or twelve 
feet, divided into feveral ligneous branches, garnifhed 
with fpear-fhaped leaves five inches long, and one 
inch and a half broad in the middle, and fmooth on 
their upper fide, but on their under have three longitu- 
dinal veins. The flowers are produced at the end of the 
branches, having very large fcaly empalements ; they 
are as large asafmallSun-flower,of apaleyellow colour. 
This plant is too tender to live in the open air in 
England, fo muft be conftantly kept in the bark-ftove. 
It is propagated by feeds, which muft be procured 
from the country where it naturally grows, for it does 
not produce any here ; thefe muft be fown upon a 
hot-bed, and when the plants are fit to remove, they 
fhould be each planted into a fmall pot filled with light 
earth, and plunged into a frefh hot-bed, treating them 
in the fame manner as other tender plants from the 
fame country.
