This Sort is very common upon Dunghills, and on rich cultivated Soils, in many Parts of England,
where it often becomes a troubleſome weed. This is the Sort which the College of Phyſicians have
directed to be uſed in Medicine, under the Title of SOLANUM HORTENSE.
And altho' it is now

become a very troubleſome Weed, in many Gardens near London, yet it is not a native of this Country,
but is ſuppoſed to have been brought originally from America, from whence the greater Part of the
Species of this Genus have been introduced into Europe. It flowers in July and Auguſt, and the Seeds
ripen in Autumn ; the Berries, which are uſed in Medicine, may be gathered in Auguſt and September.

June, and the Seeds ripen in Autumn,
This Plant is ſeldom allowed Room in Gardens, becauſe it is ſuppoſed by ſome Phyſicians to have
a poiſonous Quality, while others have aſſured us, that it is eaten by the Inhabitants of ſome Parts of
Italy when it is young, and by them eſteemed a great Dainty ; however, it is recommended by many
Phyſicians as an excellent Remedy to diffolve ſchirrous Tumours; alſo for Cancers, and moſt agree
that it may be preſcribed as a good Narcotick. Mill. Gard. Dict.

This fort was formerly preſerved in the Engliſh Gardens, but of late Years has been greatly
neglected to make Room for the greater Varieties of the erect Tulip, and though it is not taken much
notice of at preſent by the Connoiffeurs in Flowers, yet the Colour and Variety of its Stripes render it
beautiful, (and, as it is frequently introduced in Groupes of Flowers, on Account of the Freedom of
Drawing to be found in it, more than in any of the other forts of Tulips, I thought it would not be
improper to give it a Place here) it Flowers in April and May, and the Seeds ripen in Autumn.

Dictamnus. Lin. Gen. Plant. 522. Fraxinella Tourn. Inf. R. H. 430. Tab. 243. Dittany, or Fraxinella,
in French Fraxinelle. This Plant was titled Fraxinella, from Fraxinus the Aſh Tree, the Leaves of this
having ſome Reſemblance in their Form, to thoſe of the Aſh Tree, ſo it was called little Afk. But as this
Plant has been long mentioned under the Title of Dictamnus Albus, i. e. White Dittany, in the Diſpenſaries,
so Dr. Linnæus has adapted that Title to this Genus.
The Characters are,
The Empalement of the Flower is compoſed of five ſmall oblong Leaves, ending in Points, as
repreſented at A, the Flower hath five oblong Petals, as B, which are unequal, two of them turning
upward, two are oblique on the Sides, and one turns downward. It hath ten riſing Stamina, as C, which
are as long as the Petals, which are ſituated between the two fide Petals ; they are not equal in length,
and are terminated by obtuſe four cornered Summits ſtanding erect, repreſented at D; in the Centre is
ſituated a five-cornered Germen, E, ſupporting a ſhort incurved Style, as F, crowned by an acute
Stigma; the Germen afterward becomes a Capſule, with five Cells, as G, each having a compreſſed
Margin, which ſpread open at their exterior Parts, but join together at their inner, opening with two
Valves, and incloſing ſeveral roundith hard ſhining Seeds, repreſented at H.
This Genus of Plants is ranged in the firſt Section of Linnæus's tenth Claſs, intitled, DECANDRIA
MONOGYNIA, the Flower having ten Stamina and one Style. Tournefort Places it in the ſecond
Section of his eleventh Claſs, which includes the Herbs with an anamulous Flower of many Petals,
whoſe Pointal turns to a Fruit with many Capſules.
The Specie repreſented is,
Dictamnus. Hort. Cliff. 161. This is the Fraxinella. Cluf. Hift. 99. Dictamnus rubro flore.
Dittany with a red Flower.
THERE are three varieties of this Plant, one with a white Flower, one with ſhorter Spikes of Flowers,
and one with a pale red Flower, ſtriped with purple, as the Plant repreſented ; but as they are
obſerved to vary when propagated by Seeds, ſo are eſteemed only feminal Varieties.
This is a very ornamental Plant for Gardens, and as it requires very little Culture, ſo deſerves a
Place in all good Gardens. It hath a perennial Root which ſtrikes deep into the Ground, and the
Head annually increaſes in Size ; theſe ſend up many Stalks which riſe from two to three feet high,
and are garniſhed with winged Leaves placed alternate ; theſe are compoſed of three or four pair of
oblong Lobes, terminated by an odd one : They are ſmooth and ſtiff, fitting cloſe to the Mid-rib
which hath a longitudinal Furrow on the upper ſide; the Lobes (or ſmall Leaves) placed on each ſide
the Mid-rib, are oblique, but thoſe which terminate the Leaf have their Sides equal. The Flowers
are produced on a long pyramidical looſe Spike on the Top of the Stalk, which is nine or ten inches
long; the whole Plant when gently rubbed, emits an Odour like that of Lemon Peel, but when
bruiſed has ſomething of a balſamic Scent. It Flowers the latter end of May and in June, and the
Seeds ripen in September.
The Roots of this Plant are uſed in Medicine, and eſteemed cordial and cephalick, reſiſting
Putrefaction and Poiſon, and are uſeful in malignant and peſtilential Diſtempers, as alſo in Epileplies.

Capſule, F, with one, two or three Valves, containing ſeveral Seeds, G, which are convex on their
outſide, but on the inſide angular.
This Genus of Plants is ranged in the firſt Seâion of Linnæus's fifth Claſs, entitled, PentANDRIA
MONOGYNIA, the Flower having five Stamina and one Style. Tournefort places it in the third Section
of his firſt Claſs, which includes the Herbs with a Bell-ſhaped Flower of one Leaf, whoſe Pointal
becomes a dry Fruit, which in fome Species have one, and in others many ſeminal Cells.
The Specie repreſented here is,
ConvoLVULUS annuus, foliis cordates calycibus acutis, viloſis. Annual Bindweed, with Heart-
ſhaped Leaves, and hairy Empalements which are pointed. This is the Convolvulus purpureus, folio
ſubrotundo. C. B. P. 295. Purple Bindweed with a roundiſh Leaf, commonly called Convolvulus
Major, or greater Bindweed.
This Sort is an annual Plant, which grows naturally in Aſia and America, but has been long
cultivated for Ornament in the Engliſh Gardens, and is generally known by the Title of Convolvulus
Major. Of this there are three or four laſting Varieties.
The moſt common hath a purple Flower ſtriped with red as the fort repreſented, but there
is one with a white, another with a red, and one with a whitiſh blue Flower, which hath
white Seeds. If the Seeds of theſe Sorts are ſown in the Spring, upon a warm Border where the
Plants are deſigned to remain, they will require no other Culture, but to keep them clean from
Weeds, and place fome tall Stakes down by them, for their Stalks to twine about, otherwiſe
they will ſpread on the Ground, and make a bad Appearance. Theſe Plants, if they are properly
ſupported, will riſe ten or twelve Feet high; they Flower in June, July and Auguft, and will continue
till the Froſt kills them, their Seeds ripen in Autumn. Mill, Gard. Diet.

This Sort is an annual Plant, which grows naturally in the South of France and Italy, but has
many
Years cultivated in the Engliſh Gardens, from whence the Seeds have ſpread out upon
Walls and Buildings fo far, as to induce ſome to believe it a Native of England.
There are three Varieties of this, which generally retain their Differences ; one has a bright
purple Flower, the other a pale red, and the third a white Flower ; theſe do not differ in any other
reſpect, fo cannot be reckoned as different Species; the Stalks grow erect a Foot and a half high, tre
lower leaves are broad, oblong and ſmooth ; thoſe on the Stalks are Heart-ſhaped, ſmooth, and fit
cloſe to the Stalks: the Stalk for more than an Inch in length below the ſoint, is ſo glutinous, that
the ſmall Flies which light thereon, are faſtened and cannot get off again, from whence it had the Title
of Catchfly. The Flowers grow in Bunches at the Top of the Stalk, they ftand erect, forming a

This Genus of Plants is ranged in the firſt Section of Linnæus's thirteenth Claſs, entitled,
POLYANDRIA MONOGYNIA, the Flower having many Stamina and one Style. To this Genus he
joins the Glaucium of Tournefort, whoſe characters agree with thoſe of the Celandine, ſo are very
properly brought together ; Mr. Miller obſerves, that Tournefort has ranged them in two different
Claffes, the Chelidonium he places with the croſs-ſhaped Flowers in his fifth Claſs, and the Glacium
among his Roſe-ſhaped Flowers in his fixth Claſs; therefore I do agree with Mr. Miller, that whoever
examines the Flower of Celandine, will ſee that it appears as a much like a Roſe Flower, as any one
of four Petals can do.

grows to the Size of an ordinary walking Stick; the lower Part of the Stalk becomes ligneous and
tough; the Joints are like thoſe of the Reed or Cane. At each Joint is placed one Leaf, theſe ſtand
alternately on the Stalk; the lower Leaves, which are the larger, are often more than a Foot long,
and fix Inches broad in the Middle, leſiening towards each end, and terminating in a long acute Point,
having a ſtrong longitudinal Mid-rib, with ſeveral tranſverſe Viens running from it toward the Edges :
the upper Surface is of a bright green, a little hairy, and the under of a pale green, and much more

no Petals according to Tournefort, the former calling the Covers to the Parts of Generation, Petals, if
they are coloured, and the latter terminating thoſe Covers, the Empalement, where there are no
other, whether they are green or coloured. This Plant begins to fhew its Flowers toward the latter
End of July, and continues in Beauty, till the Froſt puts a ſtop to it, and if the Seeds are then

beautifully variegated, and others quite plain, but as thoſe are accidents ariſing from Culture, ſo they do
not merit farther Diſtinction, for it has been remarked, that Seeds ſaved from the moſt beautiful

after which the Plant was for ſeveral Years loft in England, till within a few Years paſt, when it was
again obtained from America, and has been propagated in great Plenty. It flowers the Beginning of
May, and the Seeds ripen in July; ſoon after which the Stalks and Leaves decay, ſo that the Roots re-
main inactive till the following Spring. It may be propagated either by off-ſets in Auguſt, or ſowing
the Seeds in Autumn, before the Froft comes on, in Pots, placed in the ſhade, and duly watered till
they are tranſplanted, which muſt be done the following Autumn, when the Leaves are decayed, at
the Diſtance of eight Inches from each other, which will be Room enough for them to grow one
Year, by which Time they will be ſtrong enough to produce Flowers, ſo may then be tranſplanted into
ſome ſhady Borders in the Flower Garden, where they will appear very ornamental during the continu-
ance of their Flowers. Mill, Gard. Diet.

Stalks, fo propagates itſelf very faſt; the Stalks riſe from four to ſeven Feet high, according as the
Soil is ſtrong and moiſt, for in dry Ground they are but ſhort, and the Leaves ſmall; but in moiſt rich
Land, they will grow very tall; the Stalks are about the Size of a Man's little Finger, they are covered
with a ſmooth Bark, of a light brown Colour, and branch out a little toward their Tops. The Leaves
are fix Inches long, and ſeven broad, cut into three, four, or five angular Lobes, ending in acute

upper
Sides of the leaves are of a deep green, but their under Sides of a light green, and ſmooth; their
Foot Stalks are four Inches long, and come out alternately from the Stalk. The Flowers are produced
in looſe Bunches at the Top of the Stalks, each ſtanding upon a long Foot Stalk. This Plant begins
flowering early in July, and there is commonly a ſucceſſion of Flowers upon them till Autumn, ſo that

This fort is commonly known by the Title of ſcarlet Lychnis ; the Flowers of this are very double
and are eſteemed for the Size of the Flowers and multiplicity of the Petals; as alſo for its duration, as it
continues much longer in beauty than the fingle flowers, and makes a finer Appearance. This is propa-
gated by fowing the Seed, on a Border expoſed to the eaſt in the middle of March, and the beginning of
June, the Plants will be fit to remove, when there ſhould be a bed of common Earth prepared to
receive them, into which they ſhould be planted about four inches apart, obſerving to water and ſhade
them till they have taken root, after which Time they will require no farther care but to keep them
clean from Weeds, till the following Autumn, when they ſhould be tranſplanted, where they are to
continue. This flowers in June and July. Mill. Gard. Diet.

practiſed with the Indigo Plants, will afford a dye very near to that of Indigo, but whether it will
anſwer the ſame purpoſes is not yet certain, or whether it may be worth cultivating for that purpoſe,
either here or abroad, is what we cannot yet determine; but there is great affinity between theſe Plants,

improvement of this Sort, which is commonly called the Globe Hautboy ; the Fruit of this is larger,
and of the globular form, but this difference has certainly ariſen from Culture ; for where theſe have
been neglected a year or two, they have degenerated to the common Hautboy again; where the Ground

This Sort has been long cultivated in the Engliſh Gardens for Ornament; this grows naturally in
Italy; there are two varieties of this, one with a bright red Flower (as the Sort repreſented here) and
the other white, which very rarely vary one from the other ; but as there is no other difference but
in the Colour of their Flowers, ſo they are ſuppoſed to be the fame Species.
It is a biennal Plant, which flowers the ſecond Year, and ſoon after the Seeds are ripe, the Roots
generally periſh: this ſends up ſeveral ſmooth Stalks two or three Feet long, which branch out on
each Side, garniſhed with winged Leaves, compoſed with five or fix pair of oval Lobes terminated

ſame with the Engliſh wild ſort called Woodbine, but is undoubtedly a different Species, for the
Shoots of this are much ſtronger. The Plants may be trained with Stems, and formed into Heads,
which the wild fort cannot, their Branches being too weak and trailing for this Purpoſe. The
Branches of this are ſmooth, of a purple Colour, garniſhed with oblong oval Leaves three Inches
long, and an Inch and three Quarters broad, of a lucid Green on their upper Side, but pale on their
under, having very ſhort Foot Stalks; they are placed by pairs, but are not joined at their Baſe;
the Flowers are produced in Bunches at the end of the Branches, each Flower rifing out of a

C. B. P. 460.
This fort is the common Strawberry Tree, and is too well known to require any Deſcription of it
here, being at preſent in moſt of the Engliſh Gardens, and is one of the greateſt Ornaments to them
in the Months of October and November, that being the Seaſon when the Trees are in flower, and
the Fruit of the former Year is ripe; for the Fruit is an whole Year growing to perfection : the Fruit
which is produced from the Flowers of one Year, do not ripen till the Bloſſoms of the ſucceeding Year
are fully blown ; ſo that when there is plenty of Fruit and Flowers upon the Trees, they make a
goodly Appearance, and at a Seaſon when moſt other Trees are paſt their Beauty. Mill. Gard. Diet.

oblong ſcally Cones in the Places where it grows naturally, but
the Summers are not warm enough
in England to produce any Fruit to perfection, though ſome old Plants often form Cones: theſe Trees
in their native Place of growth begin to produce their Flowers in May and continue a long Time in
flower, ſo that the Woods are perfumed with their Odour the greateſt Part of the Summer, but thoſe

THE Flower is naked having no Empalement, and conſiſts of two or three Orders of Leaves or
Petals, A, which are oblong, and diſpoſed in three Series over each other; it hath a great Number of
flender Stamina, B, which are ſhorter than the Petals, and are crowned by double Summits which
are erect; between theſe are ſituated many Germen, which are collected into a Head, C, ſupporting a
pointed Style, crowned with a blunt Stigma, the Germen becomes afterwards ſo many Seeds incloſed
with a Down which adheres to the Foot Stalk, and form an obtufe Cone.
Dr. Linnaus ranges this genus of Plants in the fixth Section of his thirteenth Claſs, entitled

This Sort grows wild in the Woods in many Parts of England, where it flowers in April and
May, and makes a pretty Appearance, where they are in Plenty; the Roots of this may be taken up
when their Leaves decay, and tranſplanted in Wilderneſſes, where they will thrive and increaſe
greatly, if they are not diſturbed; and in the Spring, before the Trees are covered with Leaves, they
will have a very good effect, in covering of the Ground and making a pleaſing Variety at that Seaſon.

Auricula urfi [is e. Bear Ear, ſo called becauſe the Ancients fancied it reſembled the Ear of a Bear] Bear
Ear, or Auricula.
Dr. Linnæus has joined this Genus to the Primulaveris of Turnefort, making this one Species
under the Title of Primula,
To enumerate the Diverſities of this Plant, would be almoſt endleſs and impoſſible; for every Year
produces vaft Quantities of new Flowers, differing in ſhape, fize, or colour of the Flowers ; and alſo
in the Leaves of theſe Plants there is a great Variety, ſo that the moſt ſkilful Floriſts are oftentimes
not capable of diſtinguiſhing many of the particular Sorts thereby.
But as it ſeldom happens, that ſuch of theſe Flowers are one Time in great eſteem, continue to
be regarded a few Years after (there being ſtill finer or larger Flowers produced from the Seeds, which
are what the Floriſts chiefly ſeek after) it would be needleſs to mention any of them ; wherefore I
Thall proceed to give the Characters of a good Auricula.
1. The Stem of the Flower ſhould be lofty and ſtrong.
2. The Foot Stalk of the Flower ſhould be ſhort, that the Umbel may be regular and cloſe.
3. The Pipe or Neck of each Flower ſhould be ſhort, and the Flower large and regularly ſpread,
being no ways inclinable to cap.
4. That the Colours are very bright and well mixed.
5. That the Eye of the Flower be large, round, and of a good white or yellow, and that the Neck
or Tube be not too wide.
ALL the Flowers of this kind that want any of the abovementioned Properties, are now rejected
by every good Floriſt; for as the Varieties every Year increaſe from Seeds, the bad ones are turned
out to make room for their betters; but in ſome People the Paſſion for new Flowers, ſo much
prevails, fuppofing the old Flower preferable to a new one, if it is of their own raiſing, the latter muſt
take place of the old one.

this has we k trailing Branches, ſo requires the Afliſtance of a Wall or Pale to ſupport them; it is
eaſily propagated by laying down the Branches, which will take Root in one Year, and may be cut from
the old Plant, and planted where they are deſigned to remain : it may alſo be propagated by Cuttings,
which ſhould be planted early in the Autumn, and if the Winter ſhould prove fevere, the Surface of
the Ground ſhould be covered with Tan, Sea Coal, Ahes or Saw Duſt, which will prevent the Froſt
from penetrating deep into the Ground, and thereby preſerve the Cuttings; or where theſe are wanting,
ſome Peaſe-haulm, or other light Covering ſhould be over the Cuttings in hård Froſts; but theſe muſt

This Sort is the true Rhubarb, the Seeds were brought over to England, by Dr. MOUNSEY,
Phyſician to the Empreſs of Ruſſia, from which fome Plants have been raiſed, particularly one which
Mr. Inglis raiſed in his Garden; at Hampſtead, which has flowered and produced a great Quantity of
Seed, of which he has generally ſupplied ſeveral Perſons with; the Figure here repreſented, is an exact
Delineation of the Plant which came to Perfection in his Garden, the Root of which has produced
a Quantity of Rhubarb equal in every Reſpect with that imported from abroad, for which valuable
Acquiſition, the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, &e. voted him a gold Medal. This riſes to
the height of twelve Feet and upwards. It differs greatly in the Form of the Leaves from all the
other Species, for they are deeply cut into many acute Segments, which ſpread open in Form of a Hand,
and are often three Feet or more in length, and the ſame in breadth ; from between the Leaves ariſe
the Flower Stems; which are ſometimes fix or eight, according to the Strength of the Plant, of a light
green, garniſhed with one Leaf at each Joint, the fame Shape as thoſe below, but finaller, fitting cloſe
the Stalk; the upper Part of the Stalk divides into many ſmall Branches, each ſuſtaining a Panicle or
Spike of white Flowers. The Seeds of this muſt be ſown in the Spring in Pots, and plunged into a
moderate hot-bed, and the Spring following tranſplanted where they are to remain, allowing ſeven
Foot between each Plant. It delights in a rich Soil not too moiſt, and where there is a good depth for
their Roots; in ſuch Land their Leaves will be very large and their Roots grow to a great Size; the
Seeds of this ſhould be carefully gathered when ripe, and not permitted to ſcatter, left they ſhould
grow to injure the old Plants; the Roots will remain many Years without decaying, and when old, are
preferable to the young Plants, as it is ſo hardy to endure our Climate in the coldeſt Seafons. I do not
doubt but in a ſhort Time, a ſufficient Quantity of this valuable Drug may be raiſed, not only to
ſupply our own Conſumption, but to export it to other Countries.

from which ariſe ſeveral ſhrubby Stalks near two Feet high, covered with a purpliſh Bark, and
garniſhed with ſtiff ſmooth Leaves, about two Inches long and a quarter of an Inch broad, placed by
Pairs, fitting cloſe to the Stalk; they are of a lucid green on their upper Side, and grey on the under,
having many tranſverſe Veins running from the Mid-rib to the Border. The Flowers are produced
at the Top of the Stalks, growing in finall Cluſters, each ſtanding upon a ſhort diſtinct Foot Stalk;
theſe have an Empalement of one Leaf, divided into five obtuſe Segments almoſt to the bottom, which
is of deep purple Colour. The Flower is compoſed of five large obtuſe Petals, A, of a bright yellow

C, crowned by five ſlender Stigmas, D, which bend on one side; the Style is attended by a great
Number of Stamina, E, which are longer than the Petals, and terminated by roundiſh Summits, F.
This Plant continues to flower great Part of the Year, which renders it the more valuable, and if
