Botanicum Hortense IV. Giving an Account of divers Rare Plants, Observed the last Summer A.D. 1714. in several Curious Gardens about London and particularly the Society of Apothecaries Physick-Garden at Chelsea.

Lobel says this grows wild in Narbone and Provence (from whence I should be glad to see it,) but his Figure does not express the Hoariness with which our Leaves are endowed, nor are its Flowers so large or exact. I first saw this elegant Plant in the Amsterdam Physick-Garden, Flowering in July, and since at Chelsea. 48. English Yellow Pansey. Ray's British Herbal. Tab. 37. fig. 10.

Pona, in his Italian Edition of the Plants on Mount Baldus, gives the first Figure and Description of this elegant Plant, which he received from Signior Contareni at Venice, and supposes it to come from Candy; but Pere Barrelier says it grows in moist shady Places not only about Rome but Valentia in Spain, where its also sometimes found with a white Flower. Its blew umbelliferous Tufts make a beautiful Shew in our Physick Garden where it Flowers from Midsummer till the end of September. 66. Childing Pink Ray 990. 13. H. Ox. 563. 21.

We are lately obliged to Dr. John Salvadore at Barcelona for the more perfect Knowledge of it, who amongst many other very curious and Rare Plants gathered in that Island and Minorea, sent me this under the Name as above, of which it is a true Species. 69.

Matthiolus says this grows in dry Grounds and Hills in many Places of Italy, and by Carara a Village of Liguria, as Camerarius asserts. I take this by its Figure to be different from Bellus and Pona their Coris legitima Cretica: 70. Succory Mullein. Blattaria Chicorei folio villosa Nobis. an Blattaria Orient. Agrimonia folio T. Coral. Its Leaves spread on the Ground, are deeply cut long and hoary, from the midst of these rite slender Stalks, much branched and full of small yellow Flowers which soon fall off.

From a small downright single Root, rise slender Stalks with longish oval Leaves not thick set (as in the common Sea-Spurge) at the Top come small Umbels of Flowers and Seeds like other Spurges. It grows not a Span high even in our Gardens where it is very luxuriant. The Reverend Mr. William Stonestreet, that accurate Botanist, first discovered this about a Year since on a nar- row Neck of Land covered with Peebles which joyns Portland with the Coast of Dorset-shire.
