T he firft fort is the Prafium, or white Horehound of 
the (hops. This grows naturally in mod parts of 
England, fo is feldom propagated in gardens. It hath 
a licmeous fibrous root, from which come out many 
iquare (talks a foot or more in length, which branch 
out upward, and are garnifhed with hoary round- 
ifh leaves, indented on the edges, placed oppofite. 
The flowers grow in very thick whorls round the 
ftalks at each joint •, they are fmall, white, and of 
the lip kind, (landing in (tiff hoary empalements, cut 
into ten parts at the top, which end in (Tiff bridles •, 
ttieTe are fuccceded by four oblong black feeds fitting 
MAR 
in the empalement. It flowers in June, and the feeds 
ripen in autumn. 
The fecond fort grows naturally in Italy and Sicily; 
this rifes with fquare flalks near three feet high, which 
branch much more than the firft ; the leaves arc 
founder, whiter, and dand farther afunder ; the 
whorls of dowers are not fo large, but the flowers have 
longer tubes. 
The third fort grows naturally in Spain and Portu- 
gal ; this rifes with (lender hoary dalks near three feet 
high ; the leaves are very hoary, much longer and 
narrower than thofe of the fecond ; the whorls of 
flowers are fmaller, the bridly indentures of the em- 
palement are longer and ered ; the whole plant has 
an agreeable flavour. 
The fourth fort grows naturally in Spain and Italy*, 
this is a biennial plant, whofe dalks are about the 
fame length as thofe of the firft-, the leaves are 
wedge-fhaped, hoary, and obtufely indented; the 
whorls of flowers are fmall, and have no covers. The 
flowers dand loofer in the whorls, and the cuts of the 
empalement end in very ftiff prickles, which fpread 
open ; the dowers are purple, and larger than thofe 
of the firft fort. 
The fifth fort grows naturally in the iflands of the 
Archipelago ; the dalks of this are feidorn above 
eight or nine inches long, covered with a foft hoary 
down ; the leaves are fmall, roundifh, and very foft 
to the touch ; they are hoary, and indented on the 
edges. The whorls of dowers are fmall, very downy, 
and white ; the dowers are fmall and white. 
The fixth fort grows naturally in Spain ; this hath 
Balks about the fame length as the firft ; the leaves 
are nearly oval, woolly, and crenated toward the 
top, and the empalement of the flowers are awl- 
fhaped. 
The feventh fort grows naturally in Iftria, from 
whence I received the feeds. The dalks of this grow 
more ered than thofe of the common fort : the leaves 
are rounder and more fawed on the edges ; the em- 
palement of the flowers fpread open, ending in acute 
fegments. The flowers are like thofe of the common 
fort ; the whole plant is very hoary. 
The eighth fort grows naturally in Spain and Sicily ; 
this fends out many ftiff roundifh dalks, which rife 
more than two feet high, covered with a white cot- 
tony down ; the leaves are almoft round, rough on 
their upper fide, and woolly on their u:ider; the 
whorls of flowers are large, the borders of the em- 
palement are flat and hairy ; the tube of the flower 
is fcarce fo long as the empalement, fo the two lips 
are but juft vifible. 
The ninth fort grows naturally in Spain ; the dalks 
of this are fhrubby, and rife near three feet high, 
dividing into fmall branches ; the leaves are heart- 
(haped and rough on their upper fide, but hoary on 
their under ; the whorls of dowers are large, the bor- 
ders of the empalements flat and hairy ; the tube of 
the flower is longer, and the flowers are larger than 
thofe of the former fort ; they are of a pale purple 
colour, and their upper lips are ered. 
The tenth fort grows naturally in Sicily, and the 
Iflands of the Archipelago. This rifes with a fhrubby 
ftalk two feet high, which divides into many branches, 
garnilhed with fmall heart-fhaped leaves, fitting pretty 
clofe to the dalks : the whorls of flowers are not fo 
large as thofe of the two former forts. The rim of 
the empalements are flat. The flowers are white, and 
the whole plant is very hoary. 
The eleventh fort grows naturally in Crete ; this hath 
very hairy dalks which rife about two feet high, 
garnilhed with heart-fhaped leaves, which are rough 
on their upper fide, but hoary on their under. The 
whorls of flowers are large, the border of the em- 
palements flat, and cut into many fegments, which 
' are membranaceous, angular, and rounded at the top. 
The flowers are fmall, of a pale purple colour, but 
fcarce appear out of their empalements, and their up-
