5. $. THE FOLIATION alfo, isof the fame fübftantial Nature 
with the green Leaf; the Membrane, Pulp, and Fibres whereof, be- 
ing, asthere, fo here, but the continuation of the Skin, the Cortical 
and Lignous Bodies, 
6. $. The Foulds of the Flower or Foliation are various, as thofe 
of the green Leaf 5 but fome of them different. The molt general 
are, Firlt, The Clofe-Couch, asin Rofes, and many other double Flow- 
ers. Then the Concave-Comch, as in Blattaria flore albo. Next the 
Plait, asin fome of the Leaves of Peafe-Blooms, in the Flowers of Cori- 
ander, &c. which is either fingle, as in thofe nam’d or double, as in 
Blew-Bottle, Facca, and more of that rank. Next, the Couch, and 
Plait together in the fame Flower, as in Marigolds, Daifes, and all 
others ofan agreeing form: where the firt apparent Fowld or Com: 
pofture of the Leaves is in Couch; but the Leaves being erect, each 
likewife may be feen to lie in a double Plait within it (elf Then 
the Rowl, asin the Flowers of Ladies-Bower, the broad top of each 
Leaf being by a double Row! foulded up inwardly. Next, the Spire, 
which is the beginning of a Ros! 3 and may be feen in the Flowers 
of Mallows, and others. ; Laftly, the Plait and Spire together, where 
the Part analogous to the Foliation, is of one piece, the Plaits being 
here laid, and fo carried on by Spiral Lines to the top of the Flower, 
asis in divers, andI think, in Convolvulus Doronici folio, more ele- 
gantly feen. Thefe and other Foulds, See in the Figures belonging 
to the Second Watt of the Fourth Wook. The reafon of all which 
varieties, a comparative confideration of the feveral Parts of the 
Flower may fuggelt. Tle only mention, That no Flower, that I find, 
hath a Back-Rowl, as hath the green Leaf. For two Reafons ; becaufe 
its Leaves have not their Fibres ftanding out much on their backfide, 
as the green Leaves have 5 and becaufe of its Attire, which it ever em- 
bofomes, and cannot fo well do it by a Back-Rowl. 
7. $. The ufual Protections of Flowers by the Precedents are ex- 
preßd, fe. Green Leaves and: Empalements. Some have another more 
peculiar, that isa double Veil; as the Spring-Crocws. For having no 
Empalement,and ftarting up carly out of the Mould,even before itsGreen 
Leaves, and that upon the firft opening of the Spring; left it fhould 
thus be quite ftarved, ‘tis born {wath’d up in a double Blanket, or 
with a pair of Sheets upon its Back. 
8. $. The Leaves of divers Flowers at their Bafís have an hairy 
Tafts by which Tufts the Concave of the Empalement is filled ups 
That, being very choice and tender, they may thus be kept in a gen- 
de and conftant Warmth, as molt convenient for them. 
9. §. The Leaves of the Flower, though they are not hairy all 
over, yetin fome particular parts they are often fet with a fine 
Downy Velvet; that, being by their fhape and pofture in thofe 
parts contiguous to their delicate and tender Attire, they may thus 
give it a more foft and warmer touch. Thus in the Flower of Ladies 
Bower, thofe parts of its Leaves which rowl inward, and lie contiguous 
to the Attire, are Downy 5 whereas the other Parts are fmooth or 
bald ; So the Flowers of Peafe, Spanifb Broom, Toad-Flax, and many 
others, where contiguous to their Aftires, are deck'd with the like 
Hairy Velvet.
