III. The Defcriptions. T he . firft , or White Lea- 
ved HylTop, feems to me to be one of the forts of the 
firft Common Kind in the former Chapter , and to 
differ only in the party coloring of the Leaves, this 
having feveral Leaves parted white a^d green in the 
midft, and fome or all for the molt part white, and 
fome wholly green, or with fome ftripes in the 
green. 
IV. The fecond, or Yellow HylTop, is without 
doubt one of the forts alfo of the firft Kind in the for- 
mer Chapter , it has feveral Leaves parted yellow and 
green in the midft, and come all or moll part yel- 
low; the uppermoft Leaves are ufually wholly yel- 
low in the Summer time, parted with green, but 
the lower Leaves often abide without difcoloring. 
V. The third, or RulTet Leav’d HylTop. This al- 
fo differs from the former fcarcely in any thing elfe 
but in the color of the Leaves , which are of a grey- 
ilh or Alh color, called by fome RulTet; and this 
leems to be that very fort which Baubinus lays was 
fent him from England , it growing very freely in 
fome of our Gardens.
