III. The firft, or our common great Wild Cli- 
mer, or Travellers Joy. Its Root is great , tough, 
zvoody and thick , [pl eading it /elf out into feveral 
long Branches under Ground. It has in Jome pla- 
ces , (efpecially if has flood long in a place) a thick , 
Jlrong , ragged , woody Stem , Stalk or Trunk , with 
feveral Chaps or Rijts in the Bark , of a grayijh co- 
lor ; from whence Jhoot forth many long , pliant , 
grayijh , green Branches , Jlrong and woody 
than any of the other dimers, ( cut the Periwinkle, 
Virgins - Bower, Ladys- Bower, Virginian- Bow- 
er, Cfc.) fo that their Branches do in many places , 
ferve as Withes , to bind about , or bind up any 
thing withal , or to bind about Garden or Field Gates. 
Thefe Branches fpread upon the Hedges or Trees , 
or whatfoever it flands next unto , dividing or 
fpreading it felf out into many other Twigs , on 
which are fet at the feveral Joints , two long 
Stalks of winged Leaves , con ft fling of jive Leaves , 
two and two together , and one at the end , each of 
them being dented on their Jides -, on each fide for 
the mo ft part with but two Notches , yet fome times, 
tho ’ more rarely, with three : They are of a pale 
green color, tafling fharp and hot , biting upon the 
Tongue , but not fo much as the Burning Climer, 
or Virgins-Bower. Thefe Branches zaind them/ elves 
about any thing Jl an ding near unto them , for a great 
way, length or height , rifing up to the top of the 
ta/lejl Cyprels-Tm? if Planted near it, on which it 
may clime ^ (and fome of thofe Trees I have feen 
above 150 Feet high /^America.) Gerard fays, that 
thefe Twigs or Branches are full of clafping Ten -

drels, by which it takes held of Hedges , and climbs 
up every thing that J lands near to it • but Parkin- 
fon fays, it has no clafping Tendrels like the Vine, 
to take hold of, or wind, it felf thereby, fo far as 
ever he could obferve. At the Joints where the 
Leaves ft and, come forth towards the tops of the 
Branches, divers Bunches or Tufts of white Flow- 
ers, fet together upon fmall long Footjlalks, with 
feveral yellow Threads in the middle, fuelling very 
fweet : And after they are paft, there come in their 
places feveral Heads of many long, hoary. Silver- 
like Plumes, as if they were Feathers fet together, 
with a brownifh flat Seed at bottom of each of them , 
which continue a great zohile, even till Winter be- 
fore they fall off, or are blown away with the Wind: 
Thefe fays Gerard, make in the Winter a goodly 
Show, covering the Hedges all over with its Feather- 
like tops. The Leaves fall away in Winter, and 
grow again a frefh in the Spring. 
IV. The fecond, or great Spanifh Wild Climer, 
or Travellers Joy. This other Climer has fuch like 
running or climbing Branches , very full of Joints, 
admirably long, and fpreading much farther. At 
the Joints round about it, grow feveral hard and 
fome what broad Leaves, each by it felf upon a fmall 
Foot ft a Ik,
