XII. The tenth , or Greater long and upright 
Guinny Pepper. This is long end round , yet not 
like that which carries the form of an Olive Berry, 
but much longer , and of an equal bignefs all its 
length , growing alfo upright. 
XIII. The eleventh, ^Greater crooked or Horn- 
ed Guinny Pepper. This has great large Cods, 
about Jive Inches long, fometimes little or nothing 
crooked at the lower end , which is long and /mail : 
and fometimes a little crooked or bended upwards , 
and Sometimes very much. 
XIV. The twelfth , or Letter crooked or Horn- 
ed Guinny Pepper. This differs from the loft in 
not being half Jo thick or long , and keeping its end 
bowed or crooked conftantly, not varying as that does. 
Both this and the laft hang down their Cods towards 
the Earth. And the whole Plant is likewife lefs 
than the former. 
XV. The thirtecenth , or Forked or double 
pointed Guinny Pepper. This is very like the 
Long upright Pepper, and much about the fame 
form and bignefs, being of an equal fisc aim of all 
the length thereof: but differs from it in this, that 
the lower end is parted as it were into two fhort round 
Points , and is alfo a little fmaller there than up- 
wards neither in color , nor any thing elfe differing 
from any of the reft. 
XVI. The fourteenth , or Small round Guinny 
Pepper. This grows in the fame manner and form 
that the fir ft Kind does , not differing therefrom in 
any thing , but in the Leaves , which being in the 
fame form , are not fo great and large : and in the 
fruit , which in this is fmall and round, ((landing 
fome forth right, and fome upright , but none pen- 
dulous or hanging down, each of them upon a long 
foot Stalk) about the bignefs of a Barberry, but 
round and nothing fo red , of dark or blackijh red 
color, cnc lining to red : and in another fort, almoft 
black, having fuch like Seed within them, but 
fmaller. This feldom bears ripe bruit in our Cli- 
mate. Thqfe Plants or fruit which we have had 
from the Bermudas where they are Natives, are oj 
ayellowifh red. 
XVII. The fifteenth , or Greater round upright 
Guinny Pepper. The chief difference in this, con- 
fifts in the form of the fruit, which grows upright 
as the flowers do, being great and round like an 
Apple, and is the greeted of all the forts which 
bear round fruit of an excellent red color when it 
is ripe , like unto polifhed Coral. 
XVI II. The fixieenth , or Round Cherry fafhionM 
Guinny Pepper. There are two Species of this 
Plant , one which bears fully round fruit , like unto 
an Englifh or Flemifh Cherry : the other which has 
a little point at the end this being a little bigger 
than the other , and both of them hanging down. 
XIX. The feventeenth, or Broad crumpled Cod- 
ded Guinny Pepper. The Cods of this Kind are 
fomewhat large, greater above , and fmaller below 5 
fomethiug flat alfo , and not round, but crumpled as 
it were, or fhrunk half together , fuelling withal l 
pretty Sweet. 
XX. The eighteenth , or Shorter Gold yellow 
Guinny Pepper. It might be thought by Jome, which 
fee only the Cods oj this Pepper, that it differs from 
all the reft, in the manner of growing, as well as 
in the color of the fruit , but it is not fo. for it has 
like Leaves, Stalks and flowers in every part , and 
only differs in that it bears Cods, very like unto the 
fir ft fort here deferibed at Se£l. 3. which is the 
Common Kind, but that they are fhort er, and end- 
ing in a fmaller or J harper point , and of a fair 
Gold yellow color, not red as all the others before are. 
XXI. The nineteenth or longer Gold yel- 
low Guinny Pepper. This differs in nothing from 
the lafl , but in the Cods , which are not fo thick as 
they, but a little fmaller, from the middle thereof • 
and a little longer, leffening very finely unto the 
pointed end, of as fair a Gold yellow color as the 
former. 
XXII. The twentieth , or Hairy Stalk’d Guinny 
Pepper. Its Roots are like to the others : and it grows 
up 101th round green Stalks, Jet full of white Hairs, 
in that differing from all the former. At the Joint s 
with the Branches come forth two fuch Leaves as 
the firft Kind here deferibed has, but larger than 
they. The flowers are white., confifting of five 
Leaves like the reft, but larger alfo than any of 
them. After which come the Cods , which are green 
at firft, as all the others are: but of as beautiful and. 
glorious a red as the reft, when they are full ripe. 
They are pretty great and long, ending in a very 
long point. 
XXIII. The Places. All thele Kinds of Pepper 
are Natives of the IVeft-Indies or America, as 
Brafil, New- Spain, Mexico , Peru, Florida, Caroli- 
na, Virginia , Barbadocs, Bermudus , Jamaica. &c. 
and. alio they have been found growing in Guinny , 
and many other parts of the African Continent. 
From the Weft-Indies they were firft brought to 
Spain, Portugal, Italy, England, Holland, & c . 
and are Nurft up in our Gardens , where they 
thrive and profper very well, and are now found in 
almoft all the Provinces of Europe. Clufius fays, 
That this kind of Cod Pepper, is not only Planted 
in Spain and Portugal in leveral places, but alfo in 
Moravia, for the profit fake they make of the 
Fruit, which ferves them in all thole parts, in- 
ftead of our Common EaJI-India Pepper. 
XXIV. The Times. They are commonly Sown 
j about the end of March, or beginning of April \ 
in their Native Countrys: They ufually Flower 
about the beginning of Auguft and the Fruit or 
Cods ripen not throughly, that is, they come not 
to the beauty and perlefrion of their Coralline red- 
nefs, until the beginning of Winter and fo do 
abide both with Flowers and Fruit, moft of the 
Winter in thofe hotter Climates : but with us as 
foon as the Froft comes they perifh, and therefore
