Show The Anatomy 180 "BookIV: of Frid, 181 That whereas in the Barque, theyare fpherical, and very {mall, moft of in Diamethem, through a good Gla/s, not exceeding +,'8 of an Inch moft tre, and fome ofthem, lefs: here,they are oblong-and very large, Ir. g. Within every great Bag, is conteined a Third Parenchyma, whichis alfo a Clutter of other little Bags, about the bignef& of an Oate, all disjoyned one from another, and having their diftiné Stalks, Tab. 66. of feveral Lengths, by which theyare all faftned to the utmoft Side of nefS and tendernefs of the Fruit; being all uniformlytenter d or {tretched out, by the arching ofthe Veffels, from the Coar towards the " Bes Circumference of the Apple. Bags are conteined manyhundredsofBladders, confifting of moft extream fine Threds woven uptogether into that Figure. Within thefe to the largeof them about 34 ofan Inch in Length, o1 more,according 4. §. The Veffels, as in the other Parts ofa Plat, are Succiferons, Veffels and for Aer. Both the Branches of the former, and the fingle of the latter, are extreamfmall. They run every where together, not collateral, as Feins and Arteries do in Animals 3 but the latter, fheathed in the former. 5. §. Theyare diftributed into Twentyprincipal Branches. The Ten outmoft, a little within the Apple, are diverted fromaftraight Line,into fo manygreat Arches; from which a few{mall Fibres are without any orderdifpearfed through the Apple. The Five middlemoft, and the Five inmoft, run inaf{traight Liveas far as the Coar, andare theredi- verted into as manylefler Arches; the former, at the outer, and the latterat the iner Angles of the Coar. Upon thefe Five inmoft hang all the Seeds. 6. §. Thefe Ten, and the other Ten abovefaid, do all meet together at the top of the Apple, where originally, they all ran into the Flower. But betwixt them, there are fcarce any intercurrent Fibres 5 fo that they appear every where disjunct fromthe bottom to the top of the Apple. 7. §. A LIMON hath a Threefold Parewchyma3; which feem to be derived one from another : the Texture, upon every derivation, Tab. 66. Book IV. being fomewhat altered, and fo made more clofe and elaborate. The utmoft, called the Rivd, hath the moft open, and the courfeft Texture5 being compofedofthe largeft Threds, and thofe Threds woven up into larger Bladders. Thofelittle Cells, which contein the Effential Oyl of the Fruit, and {tand near the Surface of the Riwd, are fome of the faid Bladders much more dilated. 8. ¢. From this utmoft Parenchyma. Nine or Ten Infertions or Lamells are produced, betwixt as many Portions of the Pulpy Part, towards the Centre, where theyall unite into one Body, an{werable to the Pith in the Truzk or Root of a Tree; and isaconfpicuous demon- {tration, of the communion betwixt the Bargue and the Pith; which there, is much more obfcure and difficult toobferve. At the bottom, but efpecially the top of the Frvit, the Pithis fo far expanded, as with- out the mediation of any Lamels, to be joynedto the Rind. g. §. Throughout this Parenchyma, the Veffels are difpearfed. But the chief Branches {tand on the iner Edge of the Rivd, andthe outer Edge of the Prth, juft at the two extremities of every Lamel, From thofe Branches on the Edge of the Pith, other little and very thort ones fhoot into the Pu/p of the Fruit, upon which the Seeds are appendant. the great Bag, wherein they are conteined. Within each of thefe leffer Bladders lies the Acid Juyce of the Limon. 12. §. A CUCUMER, hathalfo a Threefold Parenchyms. The Utmolt, is derived, from the Bargue. In this, being expofed for fome time to dry, and then cut tranfverfly with a Rafor not only the Blad- ders, but alfo the Threds whereof the Bladders confift, through a good Microfcope, are apparent. 13. §. Throaghout this Parenchyma the Sap-Veffels are difperfed 5 near the Circumference, in Ten or Twelve verylarge Branches. Each Tab, 66. of thefe larger Branches, embofoms another of Aer-Vefels in its Centre. Adjacent to the Midle Parenchyma, they ftand in Clufires of much {maller Branches, but more numerous. 14. §. Out of all thefe Sap-Veffels, iffues a tranfparent and vifcous Mucilage 5 which being dryed, becomes as hard and tough as GumTra- gacanth. Analogous to which, I fuppofe, is the truly purgative part of Elaterium. 15. §. The Midle Parenchyma is derived from the Pith; and divi- ded into Three Colums, {tanding triangularly, and having each of them 7,6¢ a Triangular Figure. Within thefe Colums ftand a diftinct Sort of Sap- Veffels: from whence, feveral fmall and fhort Fibres thoot into the In- moft Parenchyma, whereupon the Seeds dohang. So that thefe Columns are as it were the Beds on which the Seeds grow. With each ofthe Seed-Branchs or Fibres,goes fome part of the faid Parenchyma or Colum, out of which, the Covers of the Seed are formed. 16. §. The Inmoft Parenchywa wherein the Seeds lie, and which anfwers to the Pulp of a Limon, feems likewile to be derived from the 74, 66. Colums, thatis, to be originally thence produced upon the Seed- Fibres, maybe obferved: Both of them having a Threefold Parenchyma, Yet withthis difference, That the Three White Triangular Bodies or CoIumsin the one, is anfwered by a White Ring or Tube in the other. Inthe Centre of the Pith, are Eight or Nine, in a Ring, which run through the Fruit up to the Flower. 10. §. Betweenthe Rind and the Pith and thofe feveral Lamels, which joyn them together, ftandsthe fecond Sort of Parenchynra, ditferent from the former, in being fomewhat clofer, andfiner wrought Divided, bythe Lamels, into feveral diftin& Bodies ; every one of them Il. $ 1 great andentire Bag. : andafterwards fpread and augmented into a Pulp. By Three Injértions from the Colums, and asmany fromthe Utmolt Parenchyma, and thefe re-inferted 5 itis divided into Six Triangular Bodies 3 and every Triangle, into Three Ovals. 17. §.
