The Original ofthe outer Coat, though from Parts of the fame fubftantial nature, yet is differently made. Ina Plum, the SeedBranch which runns, asis defcribed, through the Stove, is not naked, but, asis faid, invefted with a thin Parenchyma, which it carries from 12. §. In this Inner Coat in a Bean, the Lignous Body or SeedBranch is diftributed - Sometimes, as in French-Beans, throughout the whole Coat , as it isin a Leaf. In the Great Garden-Bean,uponits firlt entrance, it is bipartite, and fo in fmall Branches runs along the Circumference of the Coat, all meeting and making a kind of Reticulation againtt the Belly of the Beaw, In the fame manner the main Branches in the outer Coat of a Kerzel, circling themfelves on both hands from the place of their firft entrance, at laft meet, and mutually inofculate 5 as the Veins in the Kidneys of a Man or any Quadrupedes Orthe Carotich Arteries 0 the Braine. ; 13. g. Sothat all the Parts of a Vegetable, the Root, Trunk, Branch, Leaf, Flower, Fruit and Seed, are {till made up of Two Subftantially different Bodies. 14, gs. Andas every Part hath Two, fo the whole Vegetable taken together, isa compofition of Two only, and no more: All properly Woody Parts, Strings and Fibers, are Oxe Body : All fimple »farques, Piths, Parenchyma’'s and Pulps, andas totheirfub{tantial Nature, Pills and Skins likewife, all but One Body: the feveral Parts of a Vegetable all differing from each other, only by the various Proportions and Mixtures, and variated Pores and strudfure of thefe Two Bodies. What from thefe two general Obfervations might reafonably be infert’d, f fhall not now mention. 15. §. The Fourth or Innermoft Cover we maycall the Secondine. The fight of which,bycutting off the Coats of an Infant-Bean,at the Conethereof, in very thin Slices, and with great Caution, may be obtain’d. While unbroken, ‘tis tranfparent ; being torn and taken off, it gathers upinto the likenefs ofa Jelly, or that wecall the Tredle of an Egg, when rear-boyl’d. This Membrance in larger orelder Beans, is not to be founddiftiné. But ( as far as our Enquiries yet difcover) it may in moft otherSeeds, even full grown,be diftin@ly {een 3 as the Stalk along with it 5 and which, by the Ramification of the faid in thofe of Cucumber, Colocynthis, Burdock , Carthamum,Gromwel, Endive, Bean is from the Parenchyma ofthe Cod; the fuperficial part of which very difficultly to be difcover'd. Branch within the Stone, is, in part, dilated intoaCoat. That ofa Parenchyma, upon the large peduncle of the Bean becoming a thin Caticle, and upon the Bean it felf a Cartilaginows Coat, 10. §. The Original of the inner Coat of the Bean is likewife from the inner part of the faid Parenchyma which firft is {pred into a long e the Cake, or that which with the Seed-Branch maketh the Penduncl of Bean 3 under which Cake, there is ufually a black part or {pot 5 by the length of which, the inner part of the Cake is next inferted into the outer Coat, and fpred all over the Concave thereof, and fo becomes 3 the inner. tr: §. Mallows, &c. ‘Tis ufually fo very thin, as in the above-nam’d, as 7b, 4, f.16. But in fome Kervels, as of Apricots, ‘tis very thick ; and moft remarquably fuch, in fome other Seeds, That all thefe have the Analogy ofone and the fame Cover, which I call the Secondine, ismott probably argu’d from their alike Natures 5 being all ofthem plain fimple Membranes, with not the leaft Fibre of the Lig- nous Body or Seed Branch, vilibly diftributed in them: As alfo from their Texture, which isin all of them more clofe, See this Part in Tab. 4° As alfo amongft the Figures belonging to the Fourth jDart of the Fourth Book. 16. §. |
