CHAP. XIII. 
Of Garden ANEMONIES. 
II. The Kinds. Some Authors will have them 
ol the Stock of Crowfoot, by reafon of the fhape of 
tne Leaf But to me it feems to be a peculiar fftant 
of it felf : and is divided into three principal Kinds, 
viz. The Garden, the Wild , and the Bafiard. The 
Garden Kinds are almoft innumerable, at leaftwife 
not eafie to be reckoned up ; and for my part I be- 
lieve, it would puzle the molt experienced thrift, 
to give a juft enumeration of them, and therefore I 
Ihall not here attempt it, but give you the Defec- 
tion of thefe few following, i. The fwgle Ane- 
mone, which is purple, red , blood-Colored, blew, 
yellow, white. 2. The Double Anemone , which is 
red or fcarlet, purple, crimfon, blewifh, orange 
tawny, white, & c. to which we add the following 
Wild Anemonies, viz. 3. The great Wild or Wood 
fwgle Anemone white. 4. The fmaller Wild or 
Wood fwgle Anemone, purple, yellow, white, 7. 
The Wild double Anemone , purple, red and white. 
Thefe laft three we Treat of in the next Chapter. 
The third Kind are the Bcftard Anemonies, which 
tho’ they may be accounted as one of the Kinds of 
the fame Tribe; yet by reafon the Englijh Name, 
which is Fafque-tlomr , falls not in the prefent Let- 
ter of the Alphabet, we (hall refer you to its proper 
Place and Letter, which will be in Chap. 572. fol- 
lowing.
