V. The third , or Yellow Lupine. It is like to 
the fir/l Garden One in Stalks and Flowers, zvhich 
are both lejjcr and Jhorter , but the Leaves are larger 
than thofe of the Small Blew Lup/ne. The Flow- 
ers grow in rwo or three Bundles or Tufts round a- j 
bout the Stalk and the Branches, of a beautiful, de- 
licate, and exceeding fair Gold-yellow Color, in 
Fafhion and Form like unto the other Kinds, being 
larger than thofe of the Lejjcr Blew Lupine , but 
nothing fo large as thofe of the Greater Kinds. 
They are fweet of Smell, and made up into an Ear. 
of the Color of the Tclloio Violet , and fomething of 
the Smell. The Cods are fmall, hard, and fome- 
what hairy. The Seeds are little, flat, and round, 
ill-favoured, much about the Form and B:gnefs ot 
the Small Blew , or fomewhat bigger, but tar leller 
than thofe of the White Garden Kind , ol an extream. 
bitter Tafte, of feveral Colors, or rather of a whi- 
tifh Color on the outfide, fpotted with many 
Spots. 
VI. The fourth , or Greater Blew Lupine. The 
Stalk of this Lupine is greater than that of the firm 
or White Garden Kind, and the I.capet are more ' 
foft and woolly than thf'e. The blowers are of a 
molt perfeft blew Color, with fome white Spots in 
the middle. The Cods are long, rough, greenilh, 
and very large or great, in which are contained 
hard, fat and round Seed, not fo white on the out- 
fide as the firft or Garden Kind, but fbmewhat yel- 
lower, greater alfo, and more rough or hard in 
handling. 
VII. The fifth , or Lefler Blew Lupine. This 
Kind of Wild Lupine differs not in the borm of Leaf 
or blower from the former , but only that it rs much 
fmaller $ the Leaves are greener , and have fewer 
Divifions in them : the Flower is of as deep a blew 1 
Color as the laft. The Cods are fmall and long, 
containing fmall round Seed, not fo hat as the for- 
mer, but more difcolored or fpotted on theouthde, 
than the Greater Blew fort is. 
VIII. The fixtb, or Smalleft Blew Lupine. This 
fmall Plant is very like unto the /afi defcribed in its 
form and manner of its Growing : it is little or no- 
thing woolly, but is fmaller both in its Stalks and 
Leaves. The Flowers likewife are wholly blew, 
as they are, or very leldom with a white Spot in 
them. The Seed is fmaller alfo, and a little fpot- 
ted. 
IX. The Places. The firft is accounted the only 
Garden or Tame Kind , the others are laid to be 
Wild in the places where they are Natives. They 
all require, as Theophrajhis fays, a landy and poor 
Soil, and difficultly grow in tilled or rich Land, 
becaufe they are naturally Wild Plants. The firft 
is a Native in many places of Greece, and the Eaft - 
ern Countries beyond it, where it was anciently 
fown for their Food, being often watered to take a- 
way the Bitternels. The Tallow Lupine is a Native 
of Spain, from whence it was brought to us. The 
Great Blew Lupine is thought to come from beyond 
Perfia , and to be a Native of Car mania. The Lef- 
fer Blew is found plentifully Wild in many places 
both of Spain and Italy. The laft or Smallefi Blew 
Lupine was brought by Boel out of Africa : but 
they all grow' now in our Gardens, with fuch as are 
great Lovers of Flowers. 
X. The Times. They are planted in April, and 
they bring forth their Fruit at two or three feveral 
times, Teeming as if they did flower often, and 
bring forth as many Crops. The firft flowers in 
May -, the third in July , and fo alfo the fourth and 
fifth •, the fixth in September , but that feldom comes 
to Ripenefs ; bur the others, after the times of their 
Flowering, Toon bring their Seed to Perfection. 
XI. I he Qualities. Lupines , i. e. the Grain or 
Meal, is hot and dry in the firft Degree 5 Aperitive 
Dtgeltive, Diffolutive and Ablterfive, To long as
