is perennial in our wild fort, whereas the other feldom 
lairs longer in gardens than two years, although on poor 
land it will fometimes continue three years, it is a native 
of moft parts of Europe, and dowers from May to July. 
The fcarlet-fiowering kidney-vetch, which is a variety of 
this fpecies, is alio found wild in feveral parts of Europe. 
Mr. Miller received the feeds from Spain and Portugal; 
Mr. Ray fays it is common in Italy; and we have it in 
Wales, both in Pembrokelhire, where it was firft found 
by Edward Llwyd, and the ilk of Anglefea, where Dil- 
lenius cbferved it.; alfo in the ifle of Man. The anthyllis 
vulneraria is recommended! as an excellent pafturage tor 
fheep; and Mr. Young informs us, that it abounds greatly 
in the bed meadows of the Pyrenees: at the fame time he 
fays, that the produce is not large. With us the whole 
plant is dry, and looked upon as aftringent. This, how¬ 
ever, is owing to its affecting dry calcareous foils: culti¬ 
vated in a rich foil, it would be doubtlefs become more 
fuccutent, though it would probably never rival feveral 
other leguminous plants. 
3. Anthyllis montana, or mountain anthyllis or kidney- 
vetch: leaves pinnate, equal; head terminal, one-ranked, 
flowers oblique. Legume fmooth, the length, of the ca¬ 
lyx, containing few feeds, of which only one ripens, in 
July. Native of the fouth of France, Switzerland, Aui- 
tiin, Carriiola, Italy, and Spain. 
4. Anthyllis cornicina: leaves pinnate, unequal; heads 
folitary. According to Miller, when it flowers early in 
the dimmer, it commonly decays foon after the feeds are 
ripe, whereas tliofe plants which flower later in the fea- 
fon, and do not perfect their feeds, w ill abide another year. 
It is a native of Spain. 
5. Anthyllis lotoides: leaves three-parted ; calyxes p-rif- 
matic, fafcicled, the length of the legumes. Native of 
Spain. Annual. 
6. Anthyllis Gerardi: leaves pinnate, unequal, pedun¬ 
cles lateral, longer than the leaf, heads leaflefs. Annual. 
Grows wild on the fea-fhores of Provence. 
7. Anthyllis quinqueflora, or five-flowered anthyllis: 
leaves ternate, linear; head five-flowered. A native of 
the Cape of Good Hope. 
8. Anthyllis involucrata: fub-herbaceous; leaves ter¬ 
nate, petiolate, fiipuled, fword-fhaped ; flowers in a head. 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope. 
II. Shrubby. 9. Anthyllis linifolia: leaves ternate, 
fertile, fword-fhaped ; flowers in a head. Stem eight feet 
high, fhrubby, round, equal; branchlets hoary; the flow¬ 
ers are yellow. 
10. Anthyllis barba Jovis, orfilvery anthyllis or Jupiter’s 
beard: leaves pinnate, equal, tomentofe; flowers in a head. 
This fpecies is a fh rub which often grows ten or twelve 
feet high, and divides into many lateral branches, with 
w inged leaves, compofed of an equal number of narrow 
leaflets, which are very white and hairy; the flowers are 
produced at the extremities of the branches, collected 
into fmall heads : thefe are of a bright yellow colour, and 
appear in June; fometimes they are fucceeded by fliort 
woolly pods, containing two or three kidney-fhaped feeds; 
v, inch, except the feafon proveswarm, do not ripen in this 
country. A native of the fouth of France, Spain, Portu¬ 
gal, Italy, and the Eafi. 
11. Anthyllis heterophylla: leaves pinnate, the floral 
leaves ternate. Grows naturally in Pcitugal and Spain. 
12. Anthyllis vifeiflora : leaves digitate-pinnate, calyxes 
f’naggy. Obferved at the Cape by Sparrman. 
13. Anthyllis evtifoides, or downy-leaved anthyllis: 
leaves ternate, unequal; calyxes woolly, lateral. This is 
a low flirub, feldom rifing above two feet high, blit fends 
out many (lender branches, with hoary leaves, which are 
fometimes Angle, but generally have three oval leaflets, 
the middle one being longer than the other two; the flow¬ 
ers are yellow, and come out from the fide of tire branch¬ 
es, three or four joined together, having woolly calyxes; 
but thefe are rarely fucceeded by feeds in England. Na¬ 
tive of Spain arid about Montpellier.

14. Anthyllis hermanniac, or lavender-leaved anthyllis: 
leaves ternate, fub-peduncled; calyxes naked. This 
fpecies is a fhrtib which grows five or fix feet high; 
the branches are garni (Tied with oblong ternate leavesthe 
flowers, which are yellow, are produced in fmall cinders 
oh the fide of the branches; thefe appear in July and Au- 
guft, but are not fucceeded by feeds in this country. Grows 
naturally in Greece, Crete, and alfo in Palefilne : this was 
formerly in forne of the Englifh gardens, but the fevere 
winter of 1739-40 defiroyed molt if not all the plants in 
this country. 
15. Anthyllis erinacea, or prickly anthyllis: fpinofe, 
leaves Ample. The height of this flirub is nine or ten 
feet. It grows naturally in Spain and Portugal. 
16. Anthyllis tragacanthoides : fhrubby; leaves pinnate 
tomentofe, petioles fpinefeent, flowers in racemes. Native 
of Mount Lebanon. 
17. Anthyllis Indica: fhrubby; leaves pinnate equal 
fbicoth ; racemes oblong fubterminating. A large fh rub, 
with an upright Item, and fcandent unarmed branches. 
Native of the mountains of Cochin-China. 
Preparation and Culture. The feeds fliould be fown on 
a bed of light earth in April, where the plants are to re¬ 
main, and will require no other care, but to thin them to 
the diltance of two feet, and to keep them clean from 
weeds. Or, if they are permitted to fcatter on the ground, 
they will come up with the firlt warmth of fpring. The 
tenth, and feveral other of the fhrubby forts may be pro¬ 
pagated either by feeds or cuttings; if by feeds, they fliould 
be fown in the autumn, in pots filled with light earth, and 
placed tinder a frame in winter, to protect: them from froth 
The following fpring the plants will rife, and, when they 
are Arons enough to remove, they fliould be each planted 
in a fmall pot, filled with light earth, and placed in the 
fhade, till they have taken new root; after which, they 
may be put along with other hardy exotic plants, in a fhel- 
tered fituation, till October, when they mull be removed 
into fhelter. Thefe plants are always lioufed in winter, 
yet fome of them will live abroad three or fouryears, when 
they are planted againft a wall, with a louth-weft afperit. 
They may alfo be propagated by cuttings, which may be 
planted durirtg any of the fumrner months, obferving to 
water and fhade them till they have taken root; when they 
fhould be planted in pots, and treated in the fame manner 
as tliofe which are raifed from feed. See Arenaria,
