flowers, which are fucceeded by oblong channelled 
feeds, having a thin membrane or wing on their 
border. It flowers in Auguft, but hath not produced 
feeds in England. When any part of the plant is 
broken, there iflfues out a little thin milk of a cream 
colour, which hath a ftrong fcent of Galbanum, 
The fourth fort rifes with a ligneous ftalk about two 
feet high, garnifhed with leaves at each joint, which 
branch out like the former ; but the fmall leaves or 
lobes are narrow and indented, like thofe of Ballard 
Hemlock. The ftalk is terminated by a large um- 
bel of fmall white flowers, which are fucceeded by 
feeds like thofe of the former fort. 
Thefe plants are both natives of Africa. They are 
propagated by feeds, which fhould be fown in pots 
filled with light loamy earth, as foon as they arrive ; 
which, if it happens toward autumn* Ihould be 
plunged into a bed of tanners bark, where the heat 
is gone, and fcreened from froft in winter. In the 
fpring the plants will come up, and by the middle of 
April will be fit to remove, when they ihould be 
carefully lhaken out of the pots, being careful not to 
tear off their roots, and plant them each into a fe- 
parate fmall pot, filled with the fame earth as before; 
then plunge the pots into the tan again, and water 
them to fettle the earth to the roots of the plants, and 
lhade them from the fun in the day time, until they 
have taken new root ; after this they muft be inured 
gradually to bear the open air; into which they Ihould 
be removed in June, and placed with other exotic 
plants in a flieltered fituation, where they may remain 
till autumn, when they muft be removed into the 
gre-en-houfe, and placed where they may enjoy as 
much of the fun and air as pofiible, but defended from 
froft. 
In winter thefe plants Ihould have but little water 
given them, for much wet is very injurious to them: 
in fummer, when they are expofed to the open air, 
they muft be frequently refrefhed v/ith water in diy 
weather ; but at no time Ihould have too much wet, 
for that will rot their roots. 
Thefe plants make a pretty variety in the green-houfe 
in winter, and when they are placed abroad in the 
fummer with other green-houfe plants, they have a 
good effe£l, efpecially when they are grown to a large 
fize. They generally flower the third year from feeds, 
but their flowers are produced fo late in fummer, 
that the feeds have feidomtime to form before the cold 
comes on in the autumn ; at leaft for fome years paft, 
as the feafons have been cold and moift ; but in warm 
fummers, the fourth fort will perfedt feeds, if they 
Hand in a warm flieltered fituation. 
The Galbanum of the fhops is fuppofed to be pro- 
cured from the third fort, for upon breaking the 
leaves, the juice which flows out from the wound, 
hath a ftrong odour of the Galbanum, which is a con- 
firmation of it.

The Characters are. 
It hath, a j mall ■permanent empalement , which is J lightly 
cut at the top into five acute parts . ’The flower is of one 
leaf , hell-fhaped , and quadrifid , the petal being fir etched 
out beyond the empalement ; it hath four Jhort fiamina , 
which are placed at the divifions of the petal, terminated 
by Jhort fummits. The oblong germen is Jituated in the 
cen ter , Jupporhng a file or t ftyle , crowned by an obtufe flig- 
?na ; the germen afterward becomes an oblong capfule , having 
two cells filled with fmall feeds . 
This genus of plants is ranged in the firft fedlion of 
Linnams’s fourth clafs, intitled Tetrandria Monogy- 
nia, the flower having four ftamina and but one 
ftyle.

The firft fort grows naturally in Jamaica, and moll 
of the other iflands in America, where it rifes to the 
height of ten or twelve feet, with a thick Woody 
ftem, covered with a grey bark ; this fends out many 
branches toward the top, which come out oppofite ; 
as are alfo the leaves fo placed, which are oval, and 
covered with a brown hairy down. At the end of 
the branches the flowers are produced in long clofe 
fpikes, branching out in clufters, which are yellow, 
conflfting of one leaf, cut into four fegmerits ; thefe 
are fucceeded by oblong capfules, filled with fmall 
feeds. This was fent me by Dr. Houftoun, from Ja- 
maica, in 1730, under the title Verbafci folio minor 
arbor, fioribus fpicatis luteis tetrapetalis feminibus 
fingulis oblongis in fingulis vafculis ficcis. Sloan. Cat. 
Jam. 139. But as this was a vague title, the 
dodor afterward conftituted a new genus, and gave 
it the title of Buddleja, in memory of Mr. Buddie, 
an eminent Englifh botanifh

This fort rifes much taller than the firft, and divides 
into a great number of {lender branches, which are 
covered with a rufiet hairy bark, garriifhed with long 
fpear-fhaped leaves, ending in fharp points: thefe 
grow oppofite at every joint; at the end of the 
branches are produced branching fpikes of white 
flowers, growing in whorls round the ftalks, with 
fmall fpaces between each* It hath long, narrow, 
fpear-fhaped leaves growing between the fpikes. 
Whereas thofe of the other fort are naked. The leaves 
of this are much thinner than thofe of the firft fort* 
and have fcarce any , down on their under fide ; the 
fpikes of flowers grow more eredt, fo form a large 
loofe fpike at the end of every branch. 
The plants grow naturally in gullies or other low 
flieltered fpots, in the Weft-Indies, their branches 
being too tender to refill the force of ftrong winds, fo 
are rarely feen in open fituations. 
They are propagated by feeds, which fhould be ob- 
tained from the countries where they naturally grow, 
for they do not perfedt them in England. Thefe 
fhould be brought over in their capfules or pods, for 
thofe which are taken out before they are fent feldoni 
grow. They Ihould be fown in fmall pots, filled 
with rich light earth, and very lightly covered with 
the fame ; for as thefe feeds are very fmall, fo if they 
are buried deep in the ground, they perifh. The 
pots fhould be plunged into a moderate hot-bed, and. 
muft be every third or fourth day gently watered, 
■ being very careful not to wafh the feeds out of the 
ground, by too hafty watering them„ If the feeds are 
frefh and good, the plants will come up in about fix 
weeks, provided they are fown in the fpring ; and if 
they grow kindly, will be large enough to tranfplant 
in about two months after. Then they fhould be 
carefully feparated, and each planted into a fmall pot, 
filled with light rich earth, and plunged into the 
hot-bed again, obferving to fhade them from the fun 
until they have taken new root, as alfo to refreflt 
them with water when they require it. After the 
plants have taken frefh root in the pots, there fhould 
be frefh air admitted to them every day, in pro- 
portion to the warmth of the feafon ; they muft: alfo 
be frequently, but moderately, refrefhed with water. 
If the plants thrive well, they will have filled thefe
