Show The Anatomy Book IV. 4. ¢. Be twixt thefe Two Parenchymas, dorun moft of the principal Fib s, or Vafeular Threds. From which feveral fmaller ones are hy vhi, Qo, 271 « do hang, thea Seeds branchedinto the Inmoft Parexchyma 32 upon which, s, g. Each ofthefe {maller Branches is invefted with fome part of he midle or white Parenchyma., Serving partly to make the Covers of the Seed 5 andpartly, the Pulp, that is, the Inmoft andfineft Parenchyma ofthe Berry, in which the Seedlies. ' A White CORIN, without taking off the shiz, fheweth not unpleafantly how the Seeds are faftned. For as the Trunk of the Tyee continues not to any confiderable Length, entire, as in a Plum, but is prefently divided into feveral Boughs 5 nor are the Edges of the Leaf entire, as alfo in a Plum, but flit into feveral Lobes 5 and the Fruit, into a great manyCorizs in a Bunch: So again, the Seeds do hang upon the Fibres, like Two other Bunches, in every Corin. As by Refrattioz, Objects of all Sizes are reprefented on the Walls of the Eye. The Operations of Nature being every where Uniform: and fometimes the fame in {mall, tran{cribed from a greater Copy. > i TY ba 7. §. A NUT, isa Plum inverted, or turned infide outward. Forthe Shel, ftanding naked, includes the Parenchyma: the bearded Cap, not precifely anfwering to that, but to the Empalement of the Flower; which likewife in many other Plants, out-lives the Foljature and Embofomes the Uterws of the Seed. And whereas the Stone of a Pluis not Faced, but Lined with a Parenchyma derivedat fecond hand from the Pith: The Shell of a Nut is not Lined, but Faced with the iner Skin of the Cap. 8. §. AN AKERN, isthe Nw ofanoak Yet with this dif. ference ; That befides the Cup, it ftands in, it hath only a Leathernz or Parchment Cover inftead of a Shel. From whence it come to pafs,that whereas the Kernel of a Nutis {weet 5 that of an Akérn, is of a very rough Tat: the Aufiere Parts of the Sap, which in a Nut are drained off into the Shell, being here imbibed by the Kervelit (elf BookIV, the like: whe oneand thefame Part, is both the Evpalement of the Flower, and when that is gone, farvives s the Cafe of the Seed, 3. §. Ofthe Laft, is that of Myagrum Mon/permon, Lithofperme. all the Stoves of Fruits, with divers others. And fome Cafes, which are foft, as, I think,’ that of Garden Radifh, The in fomepart or other; thefe only by roting under former, by cleaving Ground. 4.-§ THAT of Garden Radifh, isa Light and Spongyor Pithy Body 5, originally; every where entire. But, as it ripens, breaks with- in, into feveral White and Dry Membranes round about the Seed. By Tab. 70. the Length and about sth ofan Inch diftant from the Sides of the Ca e, do runa pait of little Vafentar Ropes. Some fmaller Fibres are from thefe tranfmitted to the Sides of the Ca @3 by which they are kept tite andfteady. Upondivers others produced towards the Centre, hang OF thofe which open fofoon as the Seed is ripe; fome are made to open at the Top, as Popy Heads; Some on the the Seeds, like Two Ropes of Onions. 5. §. Side, as molt Cods 3 and fome at the Bottom, as that of Coded Arfinart, 6. §. THE. Popy-Head, isalittle Dove Cost, divided by Eight or Ten Partitions, into fo many Stal/s. Onboth Sides the Partitions, Tih 9 hangs a moft numerous Brood of Seeds. The Partitions and Sides of 4" 7% the Head, are made of the Barque, and Lined with the Pith, While young, they are very thick and Jpongy 5 and together with the Seeds, do then fill all up.The Headis then alfo every where entire 5 butas it dries, it gradually opens at the Top,into feveral Windows,one for every stall : which areall covered witha veryfair Canopy, A Fabrick defigned for feveral purpofes, as fhall hearafter be faid. 7. §. Of thofe which open on the sides fome are made to open, only on One Side; fome, on both Sidess fome, with Three Sides 3 fome, with more3 and fome horizontally or round about. 8. §. THE CODof Garden Bean (and {o the reft ofthe Legit. zinous kind) opens on one Side. It hath a Twofold Parenchyma, The Utmoft derived fromthe Barque: in which ftand all the Veffels, in {e- Typ, 7o: veral Parcels; one whereof, at the Backof the Cod, is much larger than the reft, fhaped like a Copula uled in Schemes 5 from whence fhoot CEL Age thofe leffer Fibres upon which the Beans do grow. 9. §. The Inner Parenchyma is derived from the Pith, Uponits Nativity, and for fome time afterwards,entire and wholly compofed of Bladders, asthe Outer. From the Bafe of the Cod they are gradually ae Of theSEED-CASE or MEMBRANEOUS ULERUS. enlarged, fo as to compofe this Parenchymainto a very{oft and delicate Sponge. In which (the Cod being well grown _) the very Threds where- Taboo O the forementioned Fruits, I thall fubjoyne,in fome & Examples, the Dejcription of the Seed-Café, which isanalogous to the Frit. For the Fruit, {triGly fo called, 1s, A Flefhy Uterus, which krows more moift and ° Pulpy, as the Seed ripens. But the Seed-Cafe, whether it be called a Cod, Pod, or by any other name, is, A Membrancous Uterus, which as the Seed ripens, fiill grows the more dry and hard: asin mot Plants. 2. § THE SEED-CASE,iscither originally open ; Or only when the Seedis ripe; Or never opensat all, till the Seed be fown. Of the fir Sort, is that of Luteola; as alfo of Clary, Sage, Hyfop, and the of the Bladders were woven, are many of them fo loofe and as’ eafily to be drawnout (as in the uroaving of Kyit-work ) toample, a confie derable Length, fairly vifible through anordinary Gla/s, Io. §. ‘This may further confirmall that I have formerly faid of the B. >, p, I. Fibrous Texture ofthe Pith, and of all the other Parenchymous Parts of Ch, 5.& Be Plants. 3.P.1.Ch.z: 11, §. THE Seed-café of Medica, isa Cod wound up: in the” , Echinata, Spirally; 10 the Torzata, by an Helix. Not finifhedall together 5 but, upon the fall of the Flower, beginning to wind, continues its Cireles, till it be come to its full Growth. |
