The laft grows naturally in Carolina, from whence 
the late Dr. Dale lent me the feeds j thefe plants 
flowered very finely the year after they were raifed, but 
never have flowered flnee, for the roots creep greatly 
in the ground, but never fend up any ftalks. 
The firft fort grows naturally by the fide of rivers- 
and ditches in moft parts of England, and is the only 
fpecies of this genus, which is known to grow natu- 
rally in Europe ; this is efteemed as a very good vul- 
nerary herb, fo ftands in the lift of medicinal plants. 
It is feldom admitted into gardens, becaufe, where- 
ever it is fuffered to feed, the ground will be well 
ftored with the plants to a great diftance. 
The fecond fort grows naturally in feveral parts of 
North America, from whence it has been introduced 
to the gardens in Europe ; this hath a perennial root, 
but an annual ftalk, which rifes about two feet 
and a half high-, it is purple, and has many dark 
fpots upon it. The leaves are rough, oval and fpear- 
fhaped, having foot-ftalks 5 they are placed by threes 
round the ftalk toward the bottom, but upward by 
pairs oppofite at each joint. The ftalks are termi- 
nated by clutters of purple flowers, growing in a fort 
of corymbus ; thefe come out in July and Auo-uft, 
and in warm feafons will ripen its feeds in autumn. 
The third fort grows naturally in North America ; 
this rifes with an upright ftalk near four feet high' 
garnifhed with long, narrow, fpear-fhaped leaves at 
each joint ; thefe are deeply fawed on their edges, and 
the midrib is oblique to the foot-ftalk •, they are. 
placed by fours round the ftalk in whorls, and are 
of a dark green colour. The ftalks are terminated 
by bunches of purple flowers like the laft, which 
appear at the fame time. This hath a perennial root 
and an annual ftalk. 
The fourth fort grows naturally in Virginia and Ca- 
rolina ; this hath a perennial root, which fends out 
many twining ftalks in the fpring thefe twift about 
any neighbouring fupport, and rife to the height of 
five or fix feet, garniflied at each joint with two heart- 
fhaped leaves, which are indented on their edges, and 
terminate in acute points ; at each joint there are two 
fmall fide branches come out, which are terminated 
by clutters of white flowers, fo that the ftalks feem 
covered with them moft part of their length • but 
as thefe come pretty late in the feafon, fo unlefs the 
hammers prove warm, the plants do not flower well in 
England. 
There is another of thefe plants with purple flowers, 
ftanding upon longer foot-ftalks, which vis Tent me- 
from Camp v achy , but- the italics and leaves are very 
like
