pears dry, in order to promote the vegetation of the 
feeds *, and if the nights Ihould prove cold, the glades 
of the hot-bed Ihould be covered with mats, to keep 
the bed in a moderate warmth. In about fix weeks 
after, the plants will begin to appear, when they 
muft be carefully cleared from weeds, and frequently 
refrefhed with water ; and, in warm weather, the 
glafles of the hot-bed Ihould be raifed in the middle 
of the day, to admit frefh air to the plants, which 
will greatly ftrengthen them, otherwife they are apt 
to draw up weak. When the plants are about three 
inches high, they Ihould be carefully taken out of the 
pots, and each tranfplanted into a feparate fmall pot 
filled with frelh light earth, and plunged into the hot- 
bed again, obferving to water them, and fcreen them 
from the heat of the fun until they have taken new 
root ; after which time, the glades of the hot-bed 
Ihould be raifed every day, in proportion to the heat 
of the weather, to admit frelh air to the plants. In 
this hot-bed the plants may remain till autumn, when 
they Ihould be removed into the ftove, and plunged 
into the bark-bed, where they may have room to 
grow. Thefe plants being tender, Ihould always be 
kept in the bark-ftove, and have a moderate fhare of 
heat in the winter, and being placed among other 
tender exotic plants of the fame country, will afford 
an agreeable variety.

GALEA. 
The Characters are, 
It hath a uniform compound flower, compofed of many 
equal hermaphrodite florets , included in a loofe imbricated 
empalement the florets are tubulous , divided into five 
fegments they have each five fiamina with cylindrical 
fummits , and an oblong germen , with a flender ftyle the 
length of the corolla , crowned by two recurved ftigma. 
I' he florets are fucceeded by an oblong feed , crowned with 
a hairy down , having a chaffy fubftance between each 
feed. ■ 
This genus of plants is -ranged in the firft order of 
Linnaeus’s nineteenth clafs, intitled Syngenefia Poly- 
gamia aequalis, the flowers being compofed of her- 
maphrodite flowers.

Thefe plants grow naturally in Jamaica. The firft 
' hath an upright herbaceous ftalk three feet high, 
garnilhed with entire fpear-lhaped leaves, placed op- 
pofite at the joints •, the ftalk is terminated by three 
foot-ftalks, one in the middle, and one on each fide, 
fupporting a fmall 
joined together. 
The fecond fort hath ligneous branches, which fpread 
■ over the neighbouring plants, and rife eight or ten 
feet high, garnilhed with thick fpear-lhaped leaves 
placed oppofite ; from thefe ftalks are put out many 
fide branches, garnilhed with fmaller leaves placed 
■ oppofite, and terminated by panicles of yellow flow- 
ers, having Ihort empalements : thefe are fucceeded 
by naked feeds inclofed jn the flower- cup. 
Thefe plants are both propagated by feeds, which 
Ihould be fown upon a hot-bed early in the fpring ; 
corymbus of white flowers clofely 
when the plants come up, they Ihould be tenderly 
treated while young, admitting frelh air to them 
daily in proportion to the warmth of the feafon, giv- 
ing them water frequently, but fparingly •, when they 
have obtained ftrength enough to be removed, thole 
of the firft fort Ihould be tranfplanted into another 
hot-bed, allowing them four inches diftance. The 
plants of the fecond fort Ihould be put into fmall pots 
plunged into the tan-bed, obferving to fhade them 
until they have taken new root •, after which they 
Ihould be treated in the fame manner as other tender- 
exotic plants, watering them frequently in warm 
weather, and admitting frelh air to them daily. When 
the plants of the firft fort have grown fo ftrong as to 
meet, they Ihould be carefully planted in pots, and 
removed either into the ftove or glafs-cafe, where 
they may remain to ripen feeds, after which they foon 
die. The plants of the fecond fort will live many 
years if they are preferved in the bark-ftove, but 
they are too tender to thrive in the open air in this 
country ; however, they Ihould have plenty of frefh 
air admitted to them in fummer when the weather is, 
warm. 
CALENDULA. Lin. Gen. Plant. 885. Marigold, 
The Characters are. 
It hath a compound radiated flower , conflfling of her- 
maphrodite and female florets , included in a common fingle 
empalement , the border or rays being compofed of female 
florets , which are ftretched out on one fide like a tongue 
thefe have no ftamina , but an oblong three-cornered ger-. 
men, fupporting a fender flyle , crowned by two reflex ed, 
ftigma. 'The hermaphrodite florets , which compoje the 
dijk , are tubulous and quinquefid, having five Jhort flen-> 
der fiamina, terminated' by cylindrical fummits. The ger-. 
men is fituated under the petal, fupporting a flender ftyle , 
crowned by an obtufe bifid ftigma. Thefe florets are bar- 
ren, but the female florets are each fucceeded by one oblong 
incurved feed, with angular membranes. 
This genus of plants is ranged in the fourth fedtioq 
of Linnsus’s nineteenth clafs, intitled Syngenefta Po-: 
lygamia neceftaria ; in which are included all thofe 
plants which have hermaphrodite barren flowers in the 
dilk, and fruitful female flowers in the border!
