acute points, this is permanent : the flower is of one leaf , 
having an oval tube, inclofed by the empalement , but is 
plain at the, brim, where it is divided into five parts. It

Dr. Linns us ranges this genus of plants in the firft

The firft fort grows naturally, in Auftria and Bohenua 
arnongft the corn : this hath broad leaves which fpread 
near the ground, from the center of thefe the foot- 
ftalks arife, which are terminated by the umbel of 
flowers, like tliofe of the Auricula ; under the umbel 
of flowers is a large empalement, which is permanent; 
the flowers are compofed of five fmall white petals ; 
thefe appear in April and May, the feeds ripen in 
June, and the plants loon after perifh. 
The other forts are much fmaller than this, fome of 
them feldom growing more than three inches high, 
having very fmall flowers, fo make little appearance. 
They grow naturally on the Alps and Helvetian 
mountains, as aifo in Siberia, from whence I have 
received the feeds of three or four fpecies. Thefe' are 
only preferved in botanic gardens for the fake of va- 
. riety, and all the forts except the firft fhould have a 
fhady fituation. 
The feeds of all the forts fhould be fown foon after 
they are ripe, otherwife they feldom grow the fame 
year. They flower ufually the beginning of April, 
and their feeds are ripe the end of May ; which, if 
permitted to flatter, will come up, and 'often fucceed 
better than- thofe which are fown. The annual forts 
perifh as foon as the feeds are ripe, but the others 
will live in an -open border for feveral years, and re- 
quire no other care, but to keep them clean from 
weeds.

The Characters are, 
It hath a Jhort , round , hairy empalement , cut into many 
equal 'figments ; the flowers are compofed of many herma- 
phrodite florets of one leaf \ which are uniform , and lie 
over each other , ft retched out like a tongue on one fide. 
‘There are Jive fiamina in the flowers ; thefe are crowned 
by cylindrical fummits , which are tubvdous. The germen 
is Jituated at the bottom of each floret , with a Jlender 
ftyle, crowned by two refiexed fttgma. The germen after- 
ward becomes h Jingle oval feed , crowned with down. 
This genus of plants' is by Dr. Linnaeus ranged in 
the firft fedion of -his nineteenth, clafs, entitled Syn- 
A N E 
genefta Pol'ygamia equalis, there being many her- 
maphrodite flowers included in one common empale- 
ment.

The firft is an annual plant, which grows naturally 
in the fouth of France, Spain, and Italy, and is pre- 
ferved in botanic gardens for the fake of variety. This 
grows a foot and a half high, with woolly branching 
llalks, having leaves flatteringly fet on them, which 
are oblong and downy. The flowers are produced in 
fmall clutters at the top of the ftalks, which are yellow, 
and like thofe of the Sowthiftle, fo do not make any 
great appearance. It is eafily raifed by feeds, which 
fhould be fown in, the Ipring, in the place where the 
plants are to remain, and will require no other culture 
but to thin them where they are too clofe, and keep 
them clean from weeds. It flowers in July, and the 
feeds ripen in September. 
The fecond is a perennial plant, which grov/s natu- 
rally in Spain, from whence I received the feeds, as 
I have aifo from the Cape of Good Flope. The leaves 
of this plant are extremely white, and are much in- 
dented on their edges ; the flower-ftalks grow about 
a foot high, having fmall clutters of yellow flowers, 
which appear in July; the feeds fometimes ripen in 
England, but not every year. The roots creep, by 
which the plants may be propagated. They love a 
light dry foil, in which they will live in the open air 
in this country. 
The third fort grows naturally in Sicily, and aHb 
near Montpelier; the lower leaves of this fort are in- 
dented and woolly, but thofe upon the ftalks are en- 
tire; this feldom riles more than a foot high, fupport- 
ing a few yellow flowers at the top. 
The fourth fort grows in Spain and Portugal; the 
leaves of this are broader, longer, and more downy, 
than either of the other forts, the flower-ftalks rife 
more than a foot high, branching into feveral foot- 
ftalks, each fuftaining one large yellow flower, fhaped 
like thofe of Hawkweed, which are fucceeded by 
oblong black feeds crowned with down. 
Thefe two plants are propagated ’by feeds, in the 
fame manner as the former, which fhould be fown in 
autumn, for when they are fown in the fpring, the 
plants feldom rife the fame year. 
ANEMONE [AK^Vfi, offtA^, Gr. the wind ; fo 
called, becaufe the flower is fuppofed not to open, 
except the wind blows.] Wind-flower. 
I'lie Characters are, 
The fiower is naked having no empalement , and confijh 
of two or three orders of leaves or petals, which are oblong , 
and dijpofed in three feries over each other. It hath a 
greaJ number of fender ftamina zvhich are fhorter than the 
petals , and are crowned by double fummits which are erebi ; 
between thefe are Jituated many germen, which are collebted 
into a head , fupporting a pointed ftyle crowned with a blunt 
ftigma. The germen afterward become fo many feeds in- 
clofed with a down which adheres to the foot-ftalk , and 
forms an obtufe cone. 
Dr. Linn$us ranges this genus of plants in the fixth 
febtion of his thirteenth clafs, entitled Polyandria Po- 
lygynia, from the flowers having many ftamina and 
germen.
