This is thicker, softer, and more loose than our common Crested Grass, and in spike more nearly resembles our yellow Spring Grass: Dr Zuinger, Physician, and Son to the famous Professor of that Name, a very accurate Botanist, hath lately, amongst other curious Plants, sent me this Grass, which he gathered on the hilly Meadows about Basil, where Caspar Bauhine first discovered it. He says it grows with the common, but more rarely; the same found in the Woods there, he observes to sport or vary in its spike, viz. some more loose and greenish, others thicker and yellowish; the Leaves and Stalks in some are hairy, in others smooth. Dr John Jacob Scheutzer, that Curious Naturalist, has also observed it about Zurich, and from whom I received it by the Name of Gramen cum caudâ Muris purpurascente aliquatennus simile, l. B. 2. l. 18. p. 473. c. 106. So that here is 3 Plants reduced to one. Mr Dale and Mr Doody, who first observed it in England, and communicated it to Mr Ray and Dr Pluknet, took it for a new Grass. John Bauhine also, who found it in the sandy Fields and Paths near Mont-belgard, knew not that it was the same which his Brother Casper Bauhine had describ'd long before in his Prodomus, and first observ'd in the Woods about Cliben near Basil, from whence I lately received it.

Fig. This grows in several Parts of Spain, about Montpelier Place. and in the Balearick Isles, as well as in Candy and about Naples. Catstail, curl'd Amaranth. Amaranthus cristatus, ruber, Typhoides. This is an elegant variety of Red Amaranth, with tail-like Tassels growing out of its Curls. I observed this the last Summer with the Curious Mr Charles Du Bois, amongst many other rare Plants in his Gardens at Mitcham. Scate-tail'd Sicilian Amaranth, Ray 203. 7. Cadelari Sicula Parietaria folijs Nobis. Amaranthus Siculus spicatus, radice perenni Bocc. 16. Tab. 9. Pluk. Tab. 260. fig. 2. This is a new Species of *Amaranth*, which the *Malabars* call *Cadelari* with long slender Spikes, and its Seed Vessels hanging downwards. *Boccone* first discovered this about *Catanea* in *Sicily*, Mr *Alex. Brown* at the *Maderas*, and Dr *Sloane* in the Ditches about St. *Jago* in *Jamaica*. Silver scaled, *Knot-grass*, Ray 185. 5. *Polygonum minus candicans CB*, 281. 5. *Phyt*. 550. 3. *minus candicans supinum Bot. Monspel*. 209. *Polygonum mont. niveum & sericeum H.

Fig. This spreads like our common *Knot-grass*, but differs in having many white skinny Membranes amongst its Leaves. Dr *Boerhave* marks this as an *Indigena* of *Holland*. Its very common on the Sea Coasts of *Spain* and *Languedoc*. **Knotty Knavell.** *Knavell nodosum Herniarie facie Nobis. an Polygonum capitulis ad genicula echinatis Bocc*. 40. Tab. 20. This Plant does not well agree with *Boccone*s Figure or Description, his having many Leaves at each joint, and but 3 or 4 Branches from one Root; whereas this is as branched as common *Knot-grass*, and generally but one Leaf at each whirl, except towards the tips, where they are there sometimes 3 or 4. I observed this at Mr *Fairchild*s Garden at *Hoxton* from Seed, which Dr *Sherard* sent to the Reverend Mr *Wm. Stonestreet*. **Sect. IV:** Plants with *Double* and *Radiated Flowers*. **Jagged, Purple, Lettuce.** *Lactuca altissima*, folio *Sonchi laciniato*, fl. parvo caeruleo *Boerhave* Ind. Plant. *Hort. Lugd. Bat*. 3. p. 21. Its *Leaves* very like the *Jagged Sow-Thistles*, with Spoakey Tufts of Purple *Flowers* like the *Chondrilla carulea laciniata*. We are obliged to Dr Boerhave Botanick Professor of Leyden, for the Knowledge of this Specious Plant. **Frosty-headed Hawkbeard.** *Hieracium Aphacoides Cichorei folio, calyce glauco.* Its lower *Leaves* are deeply cut like *Succory*, the Barbulæ, or Stalk leaves, are broad at the Base, with a Beard or two on each side, ending in a plain sharp Point, the Peculiarity in this Plant it its *glaucose* or *frosty Heads*, each Stalk ending in a single midling Flower. It heads from June till August. **Great Egyptian Sow-thistle.** *Sonchus Ægyptiacus Giganteus.* The lower *Leaves* are very long, and deeply jagged, those which ride the Stalk are large and round at the Base, covering each side of the Stalk, and in all its parts much larger than our *Common Sow thistle*. This was raised from Seed which Mons. Vaillant sent me this Spring from the Royal Garden at Paris. **Indian Sowthistle with curl’d Seed.** *Sonchus Orientalis Lactucae folio, fl. luteo, semine ele- ganter crenato Boerhave 12. p. 23.* This very much resembles the *Crepis Dalech Lugd 562.* but that the Flowers are larger, and Stalk swelled under the Calyx, which is composed of 2 or 3 ranges of broad pointed smooth Scales. The *Heads* turgid when the Seed are ripe, which are finely notch’d and curl’d. It *Flowers* from July till November. **Tangier Sowthistle, Ray 1857,** *Sonchus Tingitanus Papaveris folio El. Bot. 377: Inst. Names.* 475. *Chondrilla Tingitana,* floribus luteis, *Papaveris Hort. folio Herm. H. Leyd. 659. fig. opti* Condrilla Tingitana fl. aureo, extus circa perianthium circulo purpureo nota-ta Hort. Bosian. Its lower *Leaves* are like the *Garden Poppy*, which higher saddle or ride the Stalk. The *Flowers* yellow with a purple rim at the bottom; its scaley heads bottle like the *Sowthistles*. The whole Plant yields a hot and bitter *Milk*. **Purple Italian Starwort.** *Ray* 268. 13. *Aster Atticus Dod.* 266. fig. *Inguinalis Chabr.* 325.

It grows wild in Narbone, Italy, Sicily, &c. *Smirna Wooly Flea-burr.* *Baccharis Smirnea folio subrotundo pannoso.* After *Verbasci folio, flor. minoribus nudis Sherard.* This elegant Plant grows about a foot high; from a thick root, spreads many wooly, roundish, pointed thick *Leaves*, the largest somewhat more than an Inch long, but not quite so broad. These stand on woolly pedicles, the longest about an Inch and a half, above the midst of the Flower Stalk, come single yellowish naked *Heads*, each with a small Leaf, and both Stalkless, these branch a little towards the Top. Dr Sherrard, that accurate Botanist, and now *Consul of Smyrna*, sent me a Specimen from thence, since which I have seen it with the *Duchess of Beaufort* at *Chelsea*, who was pleased to make me a Present of it for our *Physick Garden*. **White Canada Folesfoot.** *Ray* 292. 3. *Cacalia Americana Park.* 1221. fig. 2. *Conyza Americana Urtice folio, flore albo El.

Its Flowers large, white, and one at the top of each Branch. Dr Vaillant, that accurate Botanist, sent me the Seed of this amongst many others, gathered in the Royal Garden at Paris. Silver Chamomill. Chamaemelum Absinthij Austriaci folijs argenteis. Its lower Leaves finely cut, and silvery, out of which grows a single white Flower, at the top of each Stalk. I am obliged to Mr Jacob Bobart for the first Specimen of this elegant Plant; since which I have observed it in Chelsea Garden. Austrian Sneezwort, or Straw Marygold, Ray 287. 1.

The lower Leaves are like the common *Mediterranean Eryngo*, but much less, and little more than trifid near the Root; it branches much and wide, with many small *starry Heads*, armed with 5 or 6 long and narrow strait *Spines*, with one often shorter than the rest. It Flowers in August and September. I find this Plant in a *Hortus Siccus*, made by that curious Botanist Mr John Banister, of the Plants he collected in the Physick Garden at Oxford, before he went to Virginia. The lower Leaves in in this Specimen are almost round, which very well agrees with Mr Bobart's Description, as does the rest of the Plant, with his and my own. **SECT. VI.

The Peculiarity of this Umbell, is to have its Root Leaves deeply cut, and those which ride the Stalk whole and round. Mr Ray observed this in Sicily, and Fabius Columna on the Mountains of Italy. **Oriental Fennel Carrot.** *Daucus Orient.* Feniculi folio. Myrrhis Orient. folio Names. angustiore Peucedani, sem. villoso Boer. 17. 11. Its very fine Fennel Leaves and hoary Seed, distinguish it from what I have yet seen.

It much resembles our common Motherwort, but less, and with very small Flowers. It grows about a Yard high: Boccone first observed this wild near Florence, and afterwards in the Garden of that Noble Venetian and Patron of Botany Signor Christin Martinelli. It now grows in Chelsea Garden; from Seed I received this Spring from Monsieur Vaillant at Paris. Borage-leav'd African Clary. Sclarea Africana præcox annua Insf. Rei Herbaria 179. Sclarea Africana amplissimo folio, annua Boerhave p. 64.17. Its Leaves like Borage, lightly notcht, and one side larger than the other; its Stalks square, rough, and hairy; the Flowers large with a blue hood, out of which comes a long style forked at the end, the lower part of the Flower whitish; these stand at certain distances 3, 4 or 5 together, set in a large Husk, which surround but part of the whirl; they are of a pleasant grateful smell, and flourish from July, or sooner, until the midst of October.

It grows wild in the mountainous Meadows of Austria and Styria, &c. Sherard's Aleppo Clary. Horminum Lampsanæ folio ex Aleppo. Its Leaves larger and more wing'd than the German Clary, the Whirls naked or with very small Ears, purple above and green below; but what is very peculiar, they stand slanting or awry. It begins to Flower with us about June. Small flower'd, Sage Clary. Horminum minus, Salvia folio, fl. parvo. Its lower Leaves like Sage, but somewhat larger; its Flowers small, pale within, but the Hood above of a deep blue; the upper Whirls are guarded with round pointed Leaves, as the Garden kind; the whole Plant has no manifest smell. It Flowers in August and September. Whether this Herb be described by any Author I am not certain. The 3d sort of Clusius his 2d Horminum, figured in his Stirpium Pannon. Histor. p. 582. would very well resemble it, were its lower Leaves finely serrated, instead of being waved. This Plant has been an old Inhabitant in Gardens, for I find a Specimen of it in the 1st Vol. p. 116. pl. 43. of Archbishop Sandcroft's Collection of Padua Plants, which I guess to be made about A.D. 1650. It is also in Mr George Londor don his Hortus Siccus p. 15. (which he composed in Dr Morifons time) under the Title of Stachys annua minima, where its Flowers are well expanded.

Its deep cut Leaves that grow next the Root, with narrow ones at the coming forth of the Flowers, which are yellow, distinguish it from all others. A large Specimen of this elegant Plant I lately received from Dr. Vaillant at Paris; I also remember the Dutchess of Beaufort to have formerly shewn it me amongst her curious Collection of dry Plants raised at Badmington. It flowered this last Summer with Mr Charles du Bois at Mitcham. Small clammy Rhodes Campion. Lychnis viscosa aizoides flore minimo e Rhodes Mus. nof. 267.

This is a trayling Plant, with thick opposite Leaves, not unlike our Portulaca ag. nostras; it branches very much, and towards the top come small flesh coloured Flowers, standing on half Inch Pedicles. The whole Plant is clammy, and its branches tangle much. Mr. Samuel Daniel, Surgeon, first brought me this Plant from Rhodes, and the Seeds of it I communicated to Mr Charles du Bois, with whom it flowered A.D. 1697. and this last Summer again at Chelsea. Dr. Salvadore has also sent it me from Port Mahone in Minorca, one of the Balearick Isles. White Campion, with whole Petals. Lychnis sylv. alba, petalis integris.

F f Virginia Virginia Sweet Gum. Platanoides Virginiana Aceris folio auriculato. This is distinguished from the melted, not only in having smooth twigs, but its younger leaves are remarkably auriculated at the base, and the upper point much narrower and often trifid, which has been nicely observed by that intelligent Person Mr Millward, my Lord Bishop of London's present Gardiner, who very well understands the true Culture of Exotick Trees and Herbs, where this grows with the last.
