The firft fort grows naturally in Spain and Sicily ; 
this hath a pretty thick fhrubby ftalk, covered with a 
loofe bark riflng five or fix feet high, dividing into 
many irregular branches, which are four-cornered and 
woolly when young, but afterward become ligneous. 
Their joints are pretty far afunder; at each of thefe 
are placed two roundifh leaves oppofite, on fliort foot- 
ftalks ; they are woolly on their under fide. The 
flowers come out in thick whorls round the ftalks ; 
they are yellow, and have two lips •, the upper lip is 
forked, bending over the under, which is divided into 
three parts •, the middle is broad, and ftretched out 
beyond the two fmall fide fegments. The flowers ap- 
pear in June, July, and Auguft, but are very rarely 
fucceeded by feeds here. 
The fecond fort hath a flirubby ftalk like the ftrft, 
but does not rife fo high. The branches are weaker-, 
the leaves are fpear-fnaped and oval, being longer, 
narrower, and rounder at both points than the for- 
mer •, the whorls of flowers are fmaller, but the 
flowers are of the fame fliape and colour. It flowers 
about the fame time as the former, 
Thefe two- forts have been long propagated in the Eng- 
P H L 
lifts gardens by the title of Sage-tree, or Jerufalem 
Sage. The plants were formerly kept in pots, and 
houfed in winter with other exotic plants j but of late 
years they have been planted in the open air, where 
they are feldom injured by cold, unlefs in very fevere 
winters ; fo they are intermixed with other fhrubs of 
the fame growth in quarters of wildernefs-work, 
where they add to the variety for as they retain their 
hoary woolly leaves all the year, they make a good 
appearance in winter ; and their yellow flowers, which 
continue great part of the fummer, being intermixed 
with their hoary leaves, have a good effedt. 
Thefe plants fhould have a dry foil and a warm fheL 
tered fituation, otherwife they will not live in the open 
air. They may be planted among Ciftuies of all the 
different kinds, the fhrubby Moon-trefoil, evergreen 
Cytifus, Wormwood-tree, and fome other exotic 
fhrubs of the fame countries, which require a warm fi- 
tuation and a dry foil, being too tender for open 
plantations which are expofed to ftrong cold winds 
and as they are not of long duration, they are better 
when feparated from trees, and fhrubs which continue 
many years for thefe rarely live above twelve or 
fourteen years in dry ground, and not more than half 
fo long in cold moift: land, or where they are not well 
fheltered. 
They are propagated by cuttings, which if planted 
in a bed of light earth in April, juft before the plants 
begin to fhoot, and covered with mats to fereen them 
from the fun every day, as alfo to obferve when the 
ground is dry to give them water gently, they will 
get good roots in about two months or ten weeks, 
when they may be carefully taken up, and tranf- 
planted into a nurfery, where they may remain one 
year, and then be tranfplanted to the places where 
they are defigned to ftand, for thefe plants will not 
bear tranfplanting at a greater age. 
The third fort hath a fhrubby ftalk like the former, 
but much lower, feldom riflng more than three feet 
and a half high, fending out branches on every fide, 
which are garnifhed with broader hoary leaves than 
either of the former ; thefe are of an oblong oval form, 
and have pretty long foot-ftalks they are whiter 
than thofe of the former. The flowers grow in 
large whorls or heads, which generally terminate the 
branches •, they are larger than thofe of the other 
forts, and the upper lip is very hairy. Thefe appear 
about the fame time as thofe of the other forts. 
The plants are equally hardy, and may be propagated 
by cuttings in the lame way as is before diredted for 
them. 
The fourth fort grows naturally in the fouth of France 
and in Italy ; this hath a perennial root, and an an- 
nual ftalk which rifes about two feet high, and de- 
cays in the autumn. When the roots are large, they 
fend up a great number of fquare ftalks, which are 
covered with a hairy down, and garnifhed with ob- 
long, oval, rough leaves placed oppofite, fitting clofe 
to the ftalks. The flowers grow in whorls round the 
ftalks, having flinging briftly covers •, they are of a 
bright purple colour, fo make a pretty appearance. 
They appear at the fame time with the former, but 
are rarely fucceeded by feeds in England. 
This may be propagated by parting the roots ; the 
beft time for doing this is in the autumn, when the 
ftalks begin to decay, that they may get root before 
the froll comes on 5 but they fhould not be parted of- 
tener than every third or fourth year, if they are ex- 
pelled to have many flowers. This fort is hardy, fo 
may be planted in expofed places, but it fhould not 
be planted in moift ground. 
The fifth fort grows naturally in Tartary-, this hath 
a perennial root. The ftalks are purple, have four 
corners, and rife five or fix feet high, garnifhed with 
heart- fhaped leaves placed oppofite-, they are fix inches 
long, and three broad at their bafe, but terminate in 
acutefpoints, and are deeply crenated on their edges. 
The flowers grow in whorls round the ftalks ; their 
covers are awl- fhaped, and arefet with ftinginp- hairs % 
they are or a pale purple colour and hairy. Thefe ap-
