The Defer iptions. 
IV. The firft , or Our Garden Rocket, is but a 
Wild Kind brought into Gardens , for the 
True Roman Rocket in the next Section has 
larger Leaves. Its Root is fmall and long , with 
fome few Fibres adjoining to it, and perifhes 
as foon as it has given Seed. It has long 
Leaves much torn or rent on the edges , [mailer 
and narrower than the Roman Kind. The 
Flowers hereof are of a pale yellowifh color , 
whereat the Roman are whit iff ,. confining of 
four Leaves. Its Seed is redd if , contained in 
Rocket Garden - 
[mailer and longer Pods , than the Roman which 
are fhorter and thicker , wlHSfe Seeds are of a 
whitifh yellow color. jf 
V. The fecond , or Roman Garden Rocket with 
white Flowers and Seed. Its Roe} is like the for- 
mer, and perifhes Annually in like manner. It is 
a f mailer Plant than the former , but larger or 
broader Leaves , which are cut in on the edges , but 
not fo much nor fo deep , each part being rounder , 
and round at the end , and nothing fo hot or fharp 
in Tajie. The Stalk has feme Leaves thereon , 
lejfer , and lefs jagged , which bears white Flowers 
at the tops , made of four fomewhat long and round 
pointed Leaves after which come little long round 
Pods in which is contained yellowifh white round Seed. 
VI. Eruca Hortcnfis Romana altera femine nigre- 
feente. We have another Roman Kind alfo ; whofe 
Root perifhes in like manner prefcntly after the Seed 
is ripe. Its Stalk rtfes to be 3 or 4 feet high , 
Branched into many parts. Its Leaves are very like 
to the former , and at the tops of the Stalks and 
Branches are low whitifh Flowers made with four 
Leaves apiece , round pointed , with a black Line in 
the middle of each Leaf. After which come long 
fender Pods , containing blackifh brown Seed within 
them. 
VII. The third , or Great Garden Rocket. Its 
Root is much like to the former Garden Kind, with 
Stalks and Leaves like it , but that the Leaves arc 
broader , and the divifions at the Leaves larger , 
and fmaller at the ends than thofe of our Garden 
Kind, and each' part more unevenly dented about 
the edges. The Flowers hereof are more yellow % 
and enclining to a Gold color , and the Seed fmaller , 
and darker , in fmaller t and longer Pods. 
VIII. The fourth , or Great Rocket of Florida. 
It has a confide r able thick long Root Branching it 
felf forth every way * from the Head whereof rifes 
up one or more great Stalks , even to a Mans height j 
with a number of rough hairy Stalks , fp reading 
themfelves out on all files, and fet with divers long 
and pointed Leaves unevenly dented about the edges , 
and fomewhat like' iynto thofe of Lyfimachia or 
Loofeftrife, but having a fmall downy hair inefs upon 
them } tafling fomelhing fweet at the firft, but fharp 
afterwards. The Flowers are many , wpich Band at 
the ends of the Stalks and Branches , confifiing of 
four yellow Leaves apiece, which turn into [lender 
long Pods, containing within them fmall Seed, which 
is fweetifh , for which re af on of its fweetnefs , we 
have ClaJPd it with the Garden Kinds. 
II. Of Wild Rocket. 
IX. The fifth, or Our more common Wild Rocket, 
It has a very long and pretty thick Root, with many 
Strings and Fibres adjoining to it. It has longer 
and narrower Leaves, much more divided , and into 
J, tenderer cuts and jaggs on both [ides the middle Rib, 
than any of the former, and of a fad overworn green 
colimp from among which rifes fever al ft iff Stalks, two 
or three Feet high fometimes, fet with the like Leaves 
but fmaller, and fmaller upwards -, Branched from 
the middle into fever al ft iff Stalks , bearing divers 
yellow Flowers, confifiing oj four Leaves apiece, like 
the others , which afterwards give fmall long Pods , 
containing fmall reddifh Seed, of a more bitter hot 
biting Tape than the others, as the Leaves alfo are. 
X. The fixth , or Letter Wild Rocket with a 
fmall Flower. This in its Root , Stalks, 8cc. differs 
not much from the Igft, but only in the fmallnefs of 
the Leaves, Branches, Flowers and Pods , for in all 
parts it is leffer, and the Leaves are as much divided, 
but into fmaller parts, not fuelling well. 
XI. The f eve nth, or Blew Flowered Wild Rocket. 
Its Root is long. , fender and reddifh, with fome Fibres 
adjoining to it. Its loweft Leaves are cut in on both 
fides,fomething like to Rocket, but in my opinion, more 
like Groundfel. From mong which rife up feveral 
hairy ft raked Stalks , fcarccly a Foot high, bearing 
rough hairy Leaves on them, left jagged, and fome of 
them
