into more ; asthat of Crefés into Six. And fome are not at all divi- Zab. ts f 4

h Seeds, even the fmalleft, aredivided, like as the Bear, into juft two 
l Lobes. Whereof, though in molt Seeds, becaufe of their minuteneß,

11. $. At the Bafis ofthe Beam, the two other Orgamical Parts 
{tand appendent ; by mediation whereof;the two Lobes meet and join 
z together. Fhe greater of thefe two Parts ftands without the two 
Lobes, and upon divefting the Bean of its Coats, is immediately vifible. 
"Tis of a white colour, and more gloflie than the Mai» Body, efpeci- ie 
ally whenthe Bean is young. In the Bean, and many other Seeds, “tis 
fituated fomewhat above the thicker end, as you hold the Bean in its 
y molt proper pofture for growth. In Oak Kernels, which we call A. 
d corns, Abple-Kernels, Almonds, and many other Seeds, it ftands PLO Tab,1,f.6--¢

a above mentioned; but in all others: being that, which upon the Ve- 
3- getation ofthe Seed, becomes the Root ofthe Plant 5 which therefore 
in may be called the Radicle : by which, I mean the Materials, abating 
h the Formality, ofa Rost. In Corn, itis that Part, which Malfiersap- 
er onits fhooting forth, call the Come. "Tis not calie to be obferved ES 
d- ving in fome few Seeds, among{t which, that of the Beam is the moft 
n: fair and ample ofall I have feen. But that of fome other Seeds, is, in 
of Poio greater; as of Femugreck, which is full as big as one of Tab. f7e 
tt its Lobes,

e the two Lobes ofthe Bean, by feparation whereof only it isto be feen.: _, 
” Tis enclord in two fmall Cavities, form'd in the Lobes for its reception, Tahr.f 34b 
® Its colour comes near to that of the Radicle 3 and it is founded upon the 
n Balis thereof, having a quite contrary produétion, / {towards the Cone 
ofthe Bean 5 as being that very Part, which, in procefs, becomes the 
de Body or Trunk ofthe Plant. In Corn, it is that Part, which after the 
4, Radicle is{prouted forth, or come, fhoots towards the finaller end of 
$ the Grain; and by many Malsters, is called the Acrofpire, 
= 14. 9, This Part isnot, like the Radick, an entire Body, but di- 
y, vided, at its loofe end, into divers pieces, all very clofely couched to- 
A gether, as Feathers in a Bunch; for which reafon it may be called the 
fo d Plume. They are fo clofè, that only two or three ofthe outmoft are 
at firft ften: but upon a nice and curious feparation ofthefe, the more 
4 interiour (till maybe diftovered. In the Bean, this may be done: bur 
very few other Seeds; becaufe of the extreme (mallneß of the Plume. 
Now as the Plume is that Part whichbecomes the Trunk of the Plant, 
de fothefe pieces are fo ma alrea i.
