Melon, bemg ribl’d, and confifting 
of - many Angles 3, the. Edges of 
which are very thick, fet with Star- 
lke Thorns, about three Fourths of 
an Inch long, which is the.Occa-) 
fion of giving it the Name of T bi-

This thorny and Melon-like Bo- 
dy, bears on its Top a woolly or 
cottony Head, on the outfide of 
which, appear reddifh {mall Spines, 
which gives is a Colour net much 
unlike that of a full ripe Orange; 
of which, come 


Peach-bloom Colour, which remain 
a few Days upon the Plant; and
