the Bean isit alfo made neceflary. The two main Branches of the Se- 
minal Root, being produced, asis before obferved, not into the Plume, 
but the Radicle. Now the Sap being brought as far as the Seminal 
Root, in either Lobe ; and according to the conduét thereof continu- 
ing ftill to move: it muft needs immediately iffue into the fame Part, 
whereinto the main Branches themfelves do; that is, into the Radicle. 
By which Sap, thus bringing the feveral Tinétures of the Parts afore- 
faid with it, being now fed 5 it is no longer a meer Radicle, but is 
made alfo Seminal, and lo becomes a perfect Root.

of which, chiefly it is, that the Beam and other Seeds are divided into 
Lobes, viz. Thatit might be warmly and fafely lodged up between 
them, and fo fecur'd from the Injuries fo tender a Part would fultain 
from the Mould; whereto, had the Mein Body been entire, it muft, 
upon the cleaving of the Coais, have lay’n contiguous.

Root ; ’tis now time for the Plume torouze out of its Cloyfters, and 
germinatetoo: In order whereto, ‘tis now fed from the Root, with 
Jaudable and fufficient Aliment. For as the Supplies and Motion of 
Sap were firft made from the Lobes, towards the Root : fo the Root 
being well fhot into the Mould, and now receiving a new and more 
copious Sup from thence ; the motion hereof muft needs be ftronger, 
and by degrees proceed in acontrary courfe, fè. from the Root to- 
ward the Plume: and, by the coutinuation of the Seminal Root, is di- 
rely conduéted thereinto ; by which being fed, it gradually enlarges 
and difplays it felf. *

tranímitted from the Radicle into either Lobe, By which Branches the 
faid Sap being disburfed back into all the Seminal Root, and from 
thence, likewife into the Parenchyma of the Lobes, they are both thus 
fed, and for fome time augmenting themfelves, really grow: as in Lw- 
pines is evident.

grounds as Corn; being of a laxer and leß Oleous Subftance, differing 
herein from moft other Seeds; and being not divided into Lobes, but 
‘one entire thick Body. And fome, although they continue firm, and 
are divided into Lobes, yet rife not; as the great Garden Bean. In 
which, therefore, it is obfervable, That the two Main Branches of the 
Lobes, in comparifon with that which runs into the Plume, arebut 
mean 5 and fo infufficient to the feeding and vegetation of the Loles 5

foever, (which I have obferved) befides that they continue firm 5 
upon the Vegetation of the Plume, do mount alfo upwards,and advance 
above the Ground together with it; asall Seeds which {pringup with 
one or more Dilfimilar Leaves: Thefe Difimilar Leaves, for the molt 
part Two, which firft fpring up, and are of a different {hape from thofe 
that follow, being thevery Lobes of the Seed,divided,expanded,and thus 
advanced. 43-8.
