dua, where lie was fupported by Emilius'Perrot. He was 
afterwards taken into tHe family of Lazarus de Baif, the 
French amballiidor at Venice,, by who'fe generality he was 
not only fubfitted, but enabled to Ihtdy the Greek tongue. 
George de SiMve, biihop of Lavaur, wjio fucceeded de 
Baif as ambaffador, retained Bunel in his fervice, and, 
when his embafFy was finiflied, carried him to Lavaur. 
Upon the death of that prelate, which happened in 1541, 
Bunel returned to Touloufe, where he would have been 
reduced to the great elf indigence,, had not Mefheurs de 
Faur, the patrons of virtue and fcience, extended'their 
liberality to him unalked. One of -thefe gentlemen ap¬ 
pointed hi,m tutor to his fons ; but, whilft he was making 
the tour of Italy with them r he was cut off by a fever, at 
Turin, In.1546. Mr. Bayle (ays, he was one of the po- 
litefl writers of the Latin tongue in the i-6th century; and 
equally- ditiinguiihed by the ffriftnefs of his morals.. The 
magistrates of Touloufe have let tip a marble ilatue to his 
memory in their t-own-houfe. He left fome Latin epiflies 
written with the utmoll purity, which were firff publiflied 
by Charles Stevens-in 1521, and afterwards by Henry Ste¬ 
vens in 1581'. A more mdorredt edition was printe at 
Touloitfe in 1687, with notes by Gravero, advocate of

BUN'GAY,. a pleafant market-town in Suffolk, fituated 
on the river Waveney, which is navigable for barges from 
Yarmouth. In the year 1688, the whole town was con- 
fumed by fire, except one fmall ffreet. The lofs was com¬ 
puted at 29,8961. and upwards. By this accident it hap¬ 
pens that the town is well built. St. Mary’s church is a 
handfome ffructure, and, with its beautiful ffeeple, is a 
great ornament to the town. The church of the Holy 
Trinity was impropriated to the priory of Barlynch, in 
Somerfetlhire. The impropriation now belongs to the bi- 
fhop of Ely. Exclulive of thefe, there was formerly a 
thii . church, dedicated to St. Thomas, which was Hand¬

tany, a genus of the clafs tetradynamia, order filiquofa, 
natural order filiquoffe'. The generic characters are—Ca¬ 
lyx : perianthium four-leaved ; leaflets ovate-oblongs 
fp'reading, deciduous. Corolla: tetrapetalous, cruciform4 
petals obovate, twice as long as the calyx ; claws attenu¬ 
ated, erect. Stamina: filaments lix, the length of the 
calyx; of which two oppolite a little ihorter; anthers 
ere£t, bifid at the bafe. Piffillutn : germ oblong ; ftyle 
none ; fligma obrufe. Pericarpium : blicle irregular, o- 
vate-oblong, four-fided, the angles with an.acumen or 
two, not burfiing, deciduous. Seeds: few, one .under 
each acumen of the filicle, roundifn. — Ejjendal Chara&er. 
Silicle deciduous, four-lided, muricated, with unequal acu¬ 
minate angles. 
Species. 1. Bunias cornuta, or horned bunias : filicles 
divaricate, two-horned, lpiny at the bafe. This is a very 
lingular plant. It has a filicle tranfverfely oval, finilhing 
on each lide iri a horn or very long and ftrong fpine, fo 
that the filicle refembles a pair of horns: in the middle 
of the filicle are four fmall (pines, directed different ways. 
Native of the Levant and Siberia. 
2. Bunias fpinofa, or thorny bunias: racemes fpinefeent. 
This is an annual plant. Stems a foot high', upright, 
branching, fibdivided, round, rufhy, very finooth and 
even, green ; leaves ovate-oblong, blunt, fomewhat an¬ 
gular, even, petioled. Gsrrner calls the fruit a drupa¬ 
ceous filicle, drawn up from a turgid, four-cornered, 
-fmooth, belly, into a pyramidal point, and of a pale draw 
colour: rind thick, fuberous ; Ihell bony, with fix flatted 
angles, the two middle oppofite ones narrower than the reft. 
Seeds folitary, ovate, or roundilh, plano-convex. Native 
of the Levant. 
3. Bunias erucago, or prickly-podded bunias: filicles 
four-cornered, angles two-crefted. This alfo is an annual 
plant, fending out many branches, which fpread, and in¬ 
cline towards the ground. The leaves are glaucous,, and 
deeply divided into many fegments, almofl like thofe of 
fwine’s crefs. The flowers are produced fingly from the 
axils of the leaves, towards the extremity of the branches; 
they are fmall, and of a pale yellowilh colour. A large 
gland fnrrounds the fliorter ffamens, and an eminent rim 
the longer ones. The' fruit is fhort and echinate, with 
four wings, divided internally into four cells, containing 
one round tailed feed in each cell ; but one of the cells is 
fometimes wanting. Gasrtner deferibes the fruit, as a 
fmall ovate four-cornered drupaceous filicle, two of the 
Hides narrower and warted-muricate ; the two wider ones 
marked with a double elevated ftreak, which is crenulate 
or (lightly tubercled ; rind very thin and membranaceous; 
fiieli bony, muricate, tUm-celled, the cells collateral or 
placed fide by fide. Seeds folitary, ovate, plano-convex, 
rufefeent. Native of the fouth of France, Switzerland, 
Auftria, and Italy. It was cultivated here in 1640. 
4. Bunias Orientalis, or Oriental bunias : filicles ovate, 
gibbofe, warted. Root perennial; with an annual (talk. 
There are many oblong leaves, fpreading on every fide 
near the ground, and deeply jagged on their edges, like 
thofe of dandelion. From among thefe arife the ftalks, 
upwards of two feet high, fending out branches, and at 
each joint one oblong fliarp-poinfed leaf, eared at the bafe, 
and fitting clofe to the ftalk. The branches are terminated 
by long loofe fpikes of yellow flowers fhaped like thofe of 
the cabbage, and fucceeded by fiiort, oval, rough, pods, 
ending in a point, and inclofmg one round feed. Gaertner 
calls the fruit a fubglobular or ovate-oblong drupaceous 
filicle ; it is gibbofe and warted, ending in a Ihort Hyle3 
the rind is fungofe, and of a whitilh ftraw colour; the
