feribe fuch as are Nurft up in our Gardens, which

III. And becaufe the Bean-Trefoil is a Tree 
Trefoil , rho’ it be no Cytifus , we (hall add it 
to the reft in this place, to avoid making a New 
Title or Chapter. It is called in Greek, 'Ayiyvex 
x, dtuyv(& Anagyris altera , (becaufe 
there is another Anagyris , or Bean - Trefoil , 
which is Stinking; ) in Latine Laburnum , and 
in Englifli Bean-Trefoil , or Tree Bean-Trefoil ; 
and this is twofold, viz. 1. Anagyris non fottida 
major , five Laburnum majtts , The greater Tree 
Bean-Trefoil. 2. Anagyris non fastida minor , live 
Laburnum minus , the lefler Tree Bean Trefoil. 
As for the Anagyris feetida , we have nothing to 
fay to it here, becaufe it grows only in very hot 
Countries, and lo is a perfefL Stranger in our 
Clime.
