y 27. $. Inothers, again, they all ftand in more continued Lines, 
either Rays or Diametral, asin Be or Peripherial, as in Celan- 
dine. The Vafenlar Ray: not equally extended in all Roots: in 
Parfnep, towards the Circumference of the Barque; in Buglofs, about 
halfway. In all Docks, and Sorrels, the Rays are extended through 
about 4 of the thickneß of the Barque, towards the Circumference, 
whereabout, divers of them are always arched in, two and two toge- 
ther. In all or many Trefoyls, and of the Leguminous Kind, they are 
extended through no more than 34 of the gargue. In the Umbellife» 
yous, they are Ralled in betwixt the Diametral Portions of the Párez- 
chyma. In Borage, the Rays are more Continuous 5 in a Carrot, more 
Pricked, Here alfo the Pricks ftand in Even Lines; in Lovage, they 
are Divaricated. Of which, and thofe of fome other Roots, it is al- 
fo Obfervable, That they are not all meer Pricks, but moft of them 
fmall, yet real Circles; which, after the Milk hath been frequently 
licked off, and ceafeth to afcend, are vifible, even without a Glas. 
And note, that in obferving all Milk-Veffels, the Milk is to be taken off, 
hot with the Finger but the Tongue 5 fo often, till it rifeth no more, 
or but little. And fome Roots may alfo be foaked in Water 3 where- 
by the Pofition of the Milk-Vefels, will be vifible by the darker Co- 
lour of the Barque, where they ftand. 
18. $. The Rays fometimes, run more Parallel, and keep feveral, 
as in Morkfhood 5 and fometimes, towards the Circumference’ of the 
Barque, they are occurrent 3 as not only in Docks, but other Plants: 
In Eryngo, ina termination more Circular à and in Bryony, angular, 
or in the form ofa Glory, as alfo in Horfradipb, through a Micro/cope. 
ThePeripherial Lines ate in fome, more entire Circles, as in Dandelion ; 
inothers, made up of fhorter Chords, as in Potato, Cumfry, and the 
finaller part of the Root of Monks-hood. In fome, the Pricks are fo 
exceeding fmall, and ftand’fo clofe, that, to thebare eye, they feem 
to be continous Rings, which yet, through the Microfcope, appear 
diftinét, as in Marjh-mallow and Liquirifh, 
29. $. Sometimes Columns and Chords are compounded, ‘as in 
Burnet; Pricks and Chords, in Potato Rays and Rings, in Monk- 
(hood ; where the Ring is Single. “In Fenil, there is a double or treple 
order both of Rays and Rings, the Lymphedués ftanding in Rays and 
the Laéeals in Rings. And in Marfh-mallom, the Veffels are fo pofited 
asto make both thofe kinds of Lines at once. 
30. $. In Celandine, they feem all, to the bare eye, to ftand in 
humerous Rings lying even one within another. As alfo in Dandelion 5 
in which yet, being viewed through a Microfeope, there is an appear- 
ance of very many fmall Rays; which ftreaming from the Inner Verge 
ofthe Barque, croß three or four of the: fmaller Rings, and are there 
terminated. Whence it fhould feem that Lympharick Rays and Milky 
Rings, are in thatRoof, (o far mixed ERE Only the Lympha, be- 
ing confounded with the Milk, cannot be difcerned. And where the 
ilky-Veffels are evacuated, or at fach Seafons, wherein they are lef 
fall, divers Milky Roots will yield a clear Liquor at the Inner Verge of 
the Barque, where, at other times, they ce to yield only Milk 
And this is the Defeription of the Bargne.
