ing each other the female half florets have neither petal 
or Jlamina •, they have an oblong germen fupporting two 
hair-like flyles , crowned with acute fligmas. 'The im- 
palement afterward becomes the capfule , including one naked 
feed . 
This genus of plants is ranged in the fifth fecnon of 
Linnaeus's twenty-firft clafs, intitled Moncecia Pen- 
tandria, from the plants having male and female flo- 
rets, and the male florets having five ftamina.

The firft fort grows naturally in many parts of the 
Weft-Indies ; it is an annual plant, with an her- 
baceous ftalk, which rifes from two to three feet 
high, fending out feveral branches from the fides, 
which are garnifhed with Oval fpear-fhaped leaves, 
having three deep longitudinal veins, and are fawed 
on their edges 5 the ftalks arid branches are terrhi- 
nated by fmall clufters of pale blue flowers, which 
appear in July, and are fucceeded by feeds which ri- 
pen in the autumn. 
This is propagated by feeds, which fliduld be fowri in 
the fpring upon a moderate hot-foed : and wheri the 
plants are fit to remove, they ftiould be tranfplanted 
bn another hot-bed to bring them forward, treating 
them in the fame way as is dire&ed for Impatiens, 
with which management the plants will fibber and 
perfeft their feeds. 
The fecorid fort has been long an inhabitant of the 
Englifh gardens, where it has been known by the ti- 
tle of Jefuits Bark-tree. It hath {lender ligneous 
branches which rife eight or ten feet high, garnilhed 
with fpear-fhaped fawed leaves ; the branches (in 
warm feafons) are terminated by fmall clufters of 
flowers, of a pale purple colour, which appear the 
latter end of Auguft, but are* not fucceeded by feeds 
in England. . 
This fhrub was fome years paft pfeferved in green- 
houfes, being fuppofed too tender to live through the 
winter in the open air ; but late trials have m&de it 
appear, that the ordinary winters in England feldom 
hurt it, provided it is planted in a dry foil and a fhel- 
tered fituation. It is propagated in the nUrfery-gar- 
dens about London for fale, and if the branches are 
layed into the ground in the fpring, they will put out 
roots in fix months \ or if cuttings are planted iri a 
fiiady border iri May, they will take root.

The Characters are, 
It hath rria'le and female flowers at feparate diJlanceS on 
the fame tree. The male flowers are difpofed in an oblong 
rope , or katkin , which is cylindrical and imbricated , with 
Jpaces between the fcales each fcale has one flower , with 
one petal fixed in the outer center , toward the outflde of 
the fcale. The petal is divided into fix equal parts ; in the 
center is fituated many Jho'rt ftamina, terminated by erebl 
acute fummits. The female flowers grow in fmall clufters , 
fitting clofe to the branches * ihefe have a floor t, erect, four- 
pointed empalement , fitting on the germen , and an acute 
eredt petal , divided into four parts. Under the empale- 
ment Jits a large oval germen, fupporting two Jhort flyles, 
crowned by large reflexed fligmas. The germen afterward 
becomes a large oval dry berry, with one cell, inclofing a 
large oval nut with netted furrows, whofe kernel hath 
four lobes, which are varioufly furrowed. 
This genus of plants is ranged in the eighth fefbion 
of Linnseus’s twenty-firft clafs, intitled Moncecia Po- 
lyandria, including thofe plants which have male and 
female flowers on the fame plant, and the male flowers 
have many ftamina.

There ate feveral varieties of the common Walnut, 
which are diftingUifhed by the followihg titles : the 
large Walnut, the thin fhelled Walnut, the French 
Walnut, the late ripe Walnut, and the double Wal- 
nut 5 but thefe do all of them vary when raifed by 
the feed; fo that the nuts from the fame tree will pro- 
duce plarits whofe fruit will differ • therefore there 
can be no dependence upon the trees which are raifed 
’from nuts, till they have produced fruit-, fo that 
thofe perfons who plant the trees for their fruit, 
fhould make choice of them in the nurferies when 
they have their fruit upon them, otherwife they 
may be deceived, by having fuch as they would not 
fchufe. 
The fecond fort is commonly called Black Virginia 
Walnut i this grows to a large fizein North America. 
The leaves of this fort are compofed of five or fix 
pair of fpear-fhaped lobes, which end in acute points,, 
and are fawed on their edges ; the lower pair of lobes 
are the leaft, the other gradually increafe in their fize 
to the top, where the pair at the top* and the fmgle 
lobe which terminates the leaf, are fmaller ; thefe 
leaves, when bruifed, emit a ftrong aromatic flavour, 
as do alfo the outer cover of the nuts, which are 
rough, arid rounder than thofe of the common Wal- 
nut. The fhell of the nut is very hard and thick, and 
the kernel fmall, but very fweet. 
The third fort grows naturally in North America, 
where the trees grow to a large fize. The leaves of 
this fort are compofed of feven or eight pair of long 
heart-fhaped lobes* broad at their bafe, where they 
are divided into two round ears, but terminate in acute 
points * they are rougher, and of a deeper green than 
thofe of the fecond fort, and have nothing of the aro- 
matic feent which they have. The fruit is very long. 
The fhell is deeply furrowed, arid \s very hard. The 
kernel is fmall, but well flavoured. 
The fourth fort is very common in moft parts of 
North America, where it is called Hickery Nut. The 
leaves of this fort are compofed of tv/o or three pair 
of oblong lobes, terminated by an odd one * thefe are 
of a light green, and fawed on their edges / the lower 
pair of lobes are the fmalleft, .and the upper the 
largeft. The fruit is ihaped like the common Wal-
