IN A PEAR therearefive diftintt Parts, the P:Ving, the Parenchyma, Branchery, Calculary, and Acetary. The three former are here and in an Apple much alike ; faving that here the Inver or SeedBranches ordinarily ftand double. The Calculary ( moft obfervable in rough-tafted, cr Choak-Pears ) is a Congeries of little ftony Kxots. They are many of them difperfed throughout the whole Parenchyma: But lying more continuous and compact together towards the Center of the Pear, furround the Acetary there, in a fomewhat Globular Form, About the Stalk they ftand more diftant; but towards the Cork or Stool of the Flower, they ftill grow clofer, and there at laft gather (almoft ) into thefirmitude of a Plum-fione it {elf Within this lies the Acetary; ‘tis allways four, and by the bounding of the Calculary of a Globular Figure. “Tis a fimple Body, having neither any of the of the Ski”, or utmoft Pilling is only the {preading and dilatation ripe, Lignous branchedin it, nor any Calcwlous Knots. It is ofthe fame fubftantial nature withthe outer Parenchyma 3, but whetherit be abfolately one withit, or bederived immediately from the Pith, my En- continuance and the utmoft part of the Barque 5 fo is this, but the quiries yet made, determine not. whenfull part of the Burqne in the Branch, The Parenchyma, uation of isa tender delicate Meat. Yet as the Pilling is but the Contin amence of the Inpliation, or ( as I maycall it ) the fwelth and fuperbi Infant-Apple and young a of tion obférva upon which ; ner Part thereof often tough 5 efpecially, 1s evident. Thus we fee the Pith, which is edible. So in many Roots, as Parfneps, Turneps, &c. is tender and Bargue , here , the Parenchyma, though originally no more than the l to yet the copioufnefs and purity of its Sap being likewife effectua the largneG andfinenefS of its growth, it thus becomes a foft and tender meat. The Branchery is nothing elfe but the Ramifications of the Lig- Body througbout all the parts of the Parenchymas the greater nckes being likewile by the Inofculations of the lefs(as in the Leaf) inited toget her. The main Branches are ufually Twenty : Ten are fpred and diftributec 1 through the Parenchyma, moft of them enarching themfelves towards the Cork or Stool of the Flower : The other Ten, running fromthe Stalk in a directer Line, at laft meet the former at the faid Cork, and are there ofculated with them. Ofthefe latter, five are originated from one 5 which running along the Center ofthe stalk, and part of the Purenchyma of the Fruit, 1s therein at latt divided. To thefe the Coats of the Kernels are faftned. So that 1s moft of thefe Branches were originally extended even be- ond the Frat, and inferted imto the Flower for the due growth there- 4. §. The Original of the Calculary I feem to have neglected. But hereof we may here beft fay, that whereas all the other Parts are Efe JSential and truly Vital; the Calculary is not: but that the feveral Kvots whereofit confifts, are only fo many meer Concretions or Precipitations out of the Sup; as in Orines, Wines, and other Liquors, we often fee, Andthat the Precipitation is made by the mixture and re-action of the Tinéures of the Lignous and Cortical Bodies upon each other: Evenas allVegetable Nutrition or Fixation of Parts is alfo made by the joynt efficiency of the two fame Tinéures, as bath been faid. Hence we find, that as the Acetary hath no Branches of the Lignous Body, fo neither hath it any Kwots, Hence likewife it is, that we have fo different and contrary a taft in the Paremchymea beyondthe Calculary, from that inthe Acetary : For whereas this is four, that, wherein the faid Precipitations are made, is {weet 3 being muchalike effect to what we find in mixing of Corals, &c. with Vinegar or other acid Liquors.
