This is a lingular Species differing from the other kinds in its 
manner of growth. It is four feet high. "I'he Stalk rifes fingle to 
its fummit, only a little belov/ the middle pf its height there grow 
up fcveral afeendant Branches like the main Stem, and each of them 
terminated by the fame fort of duffer of Flowers. It blows in Sep-

This is a Perennial, native of North-Amcrica, and flowers late 
in September. The Plant is four feet and a half high : the Stalk is 
of a pale greyiffi green j and the Leaves are of that kind of greyiffi 
or bluifli green we fee in many of the Sea Plants. The Flowers are 
larger than in many others, and of a very good, though'not bright 
yellow. They crown the tops of the main Stalk, and of a multitude 
of Shoots, which rife from the bofoms of the upper Leaves : thefe 
form together a long and regular fpike, and give the Plant an afpedt 
very different from thofe whofe duffers of Flowers fpread out in the 
ufual way, with great breadth.
