two Kinds of this Plant, becaufe fometimes it is
found to exceeding large, as four Feet or‘more high,-

f0 exceeding large where the Soil is belt, and more
diminutive where it is worfer, there being otherwife'
no dilference in the Roots, Blades or Leaves, Stalks
Flowers, Cods and Seed, nor yet in the manner and
