X Name that I know of ^ in Latine, it is 
called Flos Indicus , Caryophylus lndicus , if Flos 
Africanus , Caltha Africana, Flos Tunitenfis , Pedna 
Pccnorum : in Englifh, African Marigold, and by 
fome French Marigold, (tho it is no more Wench 
than Englifh.) Where note, that fome, as Lacuna 
think it to be Othona Plinij : others Lycoper- 
ficum Galeni , but with what truth is uncer-

Stalk of this is browner than that of the double ; 
and it has been obferved that this fingle Kind does 
every year rife from the Seed of the double Flower : 
So that when they are in Flower, you may fee the 
difference (or not much before, viz. when they 
are in Budt) this fingle. Flcwer ever appearing 
with a Head of Thrums in the middle, and the

appearing with all its Leaves folded clofe toge- 
ther, without any Thrums at all : ) and are of a
