      THIs Plant was firft brought to Europe from Canada, where it grows
naturally; as it alfo does 
   in many Parts of North ,4merica; the Root is perrenial, and creeps far
on every fide, fending up many 
   Stalks, fo propagates itfelf very raft; the Stalks rife from  four to
feven Feet high, according as the 
   5 Soil is ftroag and moift, for in dry Ground they are but lhort, antd
the Leaves fmall; but in moift rich 
   Land, they will grow very tall; the Stalks are about the Size of a Man's
little Finger, they are covered 
   with a fmooth Bark, of a light brown Colour, and branch out a little toward
their Tops. The Leaves 
   are fix Inches long, and feven broad, cut into three, four, or five angular
Lobes, ending in acute 
   Points, in fome Meafure refembling a Hand fpread open. They are lawed
on their Edges, and have 
   feveral Veins, which arife from their Mid-rib, running upward, diverging
toward the Borders. The 
   upper Sides of the Leaves are of a deep green, but their under Sides of
a light green, and fmooth ; their 
   Foot Stalks are four Inches Iong, and come out alternately from the Stalk.
The Flowers are produced 
   in loofe Bunches at the Top of the Stalks, e ch ftanding upon a long Foot
Stalk. This Plant begins 
   flowering early in Ju457, and there is commonly a fuccefflon of Flowers
uipon them till Autumn, fo that 
   it is cultivated for the fake of its Flowerp, and is fold among flowering
Shrubs by the Nurfery Gardeners: 
   For the Fruit is of little Value, having no Flavour ; nor do the Plants
always produce Fruit. Mill.

       THE Flower has a Ifmall bellied Empalement of one Leaf, indented in
five Parts at the Top, as A, 
    the Flower has five roundifh Petals, waved and plaited on their Borders,
and narrow at their Bafe, 
    where they are inferted in the Empalement, as B. It hath eight Stamina,
which are declined and as 
    long as the Petals, terminated by rifing Summits, C, and a roundilh Germen,
fitting upon an awl-Ihaped 
    Style, D, crowned by an acuminated Stigma. The Germen afterward becomes
an oval, Pear-fhaped,
