fius fays^ That be had fome Plants raijed from the 
Seed of this Spe'cies but they brought forth Homers 
more pale than the Mother Plant , and fome more 
white , efpecial/y on the 'out fide , being pale on the 
infide. 
IV. The fccbtid, or White Poley, or Upright 
Spanifh Poley Mountain. Its Root is bard and 
woody like the former. The whole Plant is f mallei 
than /V, and rij'es up with many fm.il/ fender 
Branches , ftahdrng more upright titan the firlt or 
common Kind, and not leaning downwards to the 
Ground , iho 1 it grows upright , yet it grows not 
much higher. On its Stalks and Branches- are fet 
Holey Mountain white. 
: III. The fir ft , or Our ordinary or common 
Poley. Its Root is fomewhat long and hard , with 
a few Fibres hanging thereto. It is a fmall low 
Flant , not above a Foot high , having J'evcral white 
or hoary round and hard Branches , on which are 
fet divers long and fmall hoary Leaves , overlaid cm 
it were with a yellowifh white Down , a little dent- 
ed about the edges , and fomething broader or greater 
than any of thofe zohicb follow , two always fet to- 
gether on the Stalks as they grow up : at the tops 
whereof grow whitifh or hoary yellowifh Heads , 
ihr lifting out many fmall pale colored Flowers •, 
and in fome places more yellow , ftanding in hoary 
Husks. The Seed is fmall and blackifh. The 
whole Flant fmells fweet , ftrong and quick 
with all. The Branches being Slipt , and fet in 
the Ground , will grow very well , and by that 
means be Efficiently encreafed , for in our Climate

many hoary Leaves, ftttaller than thofe of the frfi 
fort, and fome fmall ones together with them , a 
little dented about the edges towards the ends, and 
eis hoary, or rather more hoary than it. At their 
tops grow longer and f nailer Heads , having white 
blowers, coming forth oat oj hoary Cups, larger and 
more Jprcad than the following. The Seed is black- 
ijh and fmall, yet greater than that of the juft be- 
fore deferibed, iho ’ the Hunt it fc/f is fmaller. 
And the Smell of this is more fweet and acute than 
that. 
V. The third, or Spike or lavender Leav’d Fo- 
ley. h has a hard woody Root , fp reading it felf 
out with many ' fmall fibres. from this Root fpring 
forth feveral weak Branches, on which are fet many 
fmall tong Leaves, two together, one againft another, 
as in both the former , which are fomething green 
on the upper fide, and hoary underneath, fomething 
like if the Leaves of Rolemary, or Lavender, and 
not at ah.fnipt about the edges. At the tops of the 
Branches, come forth many flowers not bufhing, but 
loofely fpread, which are of a white color, net differ - 
ingin form from the other, but coming forth of a 
grayifh husk, yet hot fo very hoary cti the others. 
The Seed is black like the reft ; and the whole Riant
