of Fumitory, and contains the two following kinds, 
vie. i . Fumaria filiquofa Americana , Fumaria fem- 
per virens Americana, Indian or American Fumitory 
Codded. 2. Fumaria tuberofa Americana , Indian 
or American tuberous Fumitory. 
III. The Defcriptions. The firft, or Codded In- 
dian, has a Root which is thick and fibrous, from 
whence rifes up a Stalk to be about a Foot high or 
more : the I. caves are like the Common purple kind 
in the former Chapter , but larger , and enduring 
green all the Winter. The Flowers grow Spike-

as the whole Plant of this firft American fort is 
much bitterer than the firft or Common purple kind

other forts there deferibed, fo it is alfo by much the
