caule the Fruit is in fome fort like a fmall Pomgra- 
nate on the outfide, yet the Seed within is flattifh, 
round and blackfill. 
III. The Defcriptions. The firjl, or Ladies- 
Bower, or Virgins-Bower Burning, or Burning Cli- 
mer. The Root is white and thick, jlejhy and tender , 
or eafy to be broken, infomuch that one can fcarcely 
handle it ( tho > very tenderly ) without danger of 
breaking it. This Caujlick or Burning Climer, has 
very long and tender climing Branches, yet lome- 
thing woody below', which wind about thofe things 
which fland near it, covered with a brownifh green 
Bark -, from the Joints of which (hoot forth many 
winged Leaves, confifting for the molt part of five 
Angle Leaves, viz. two and two together, and one 
at the end, which are a little cut in, or notched on 
the edges here and there •, but every part of them is 
letter than the Leaves of the next following Climer, 
without any clafping Tendrels, to winde about any 
next adjacent thing. Towards the upper part of 
the Branches, with the faid Leaves, come forth long 
Stalks, on which ftand many white Flowers clutter- 
ing together, opening the Brims into fix or eight 
fmall Leaves, fpreading like a Star, very fvveet of 
Smell, or rather of a ttrong heady Scent, which at 1 
ter turn in blackifh flattfih Seed, plumed at the 
Head, which Plume or Feather flies away with the 
Wind, after it has flood long, and leaves the Seed 
naked or bare. 
IV. The fecond, or Red Ladies or Vifgins Bower, 
or Single red-flowered Climer. Its Roots are a Bun- 
dle of Jlrong brownifh yellow Strings, running down 
deep into the Earth from a large Head above. This 
Climer has many limber and weak climing Branches, 
like the former, covered with a brown thin outward 
Bark, and green underneath. The Leaves fland at 
the Joints, confifting but of three Leaves or Parts, 
whereof fome are notched on one fide, and fome on 
both, without any clafping Tendrel, as the former, 
but. winding with its Branches about any thing 
which ftands next it. The Flowers in like manner 
come from the fame Joints with the Leaves, but not 
fo many together as the former, upon long Foot- 
ftalks, confifting of four Leaves apiece, handing - 
like a Crofs, of a dark red Colour. The Seed is 
flat and round, and pointed at the end -, three 01 
four or more handing clofe together upon one Stalk, 
without any down upon them at all, as in the for- 
mer. 
V. The third, or Single purple Ladies-Bower, or 
Single purple- flowered Climer. This is like to the 
former in its Roots , Stalk j Branches , Lfpves, Flow- 
ers and Seed, and differs from the former in this 
only, that the Color hereof is of a fad bluilh pur- 
ple : So that the one is not poffible to be known 
from the other, till they come to the Seafon of 
Flowering.

dies or Virgins Bower, or Double purple-flowered 
Climer. This in its Root, Branches and Leaves., 
does fo near refemble the Single Kinds, that no Dif- 
ference can be known betvteen them, but in ihcfe 
Particulars , viz. that this grows more bold and
