E The Anatomy 
2. $. I SHALL begin where the Work of Nature appears lel 
Diverfify’d: as in the Stalk, of Maze or Indian Wheat. In which, 
though there are the fame Parenchymows and Lignous Parts, as in 
other Plants; yet is there neither Barque, nor Pith; the Vefeis being 
o 
difperfed and mixed with the Parenchyma, from the Circumference ti 
the Centre of the stalk: Saving, that in and next the Ski», there 
feems to beno Aer-Vefels. Every where elfe, they run up, like fine 
Threds, through the length of the Stalk: Each Thred being alfo fur- 
rounded with Sap-Vefels ; which in a Slice cut tranfverfly, appear in 
very fmall and dark colourd Rings... The like ftréture may alfo be 
feen in the Sugar-Cane, and fome other Plants. 
3. §. LET the next Trunk be that of Taraxacum, or Dandelion. In 
a lie whereof, being cut tranfverfly, is een next the shim, firlt, a 
fimple, white, and clofe Parenchyma or Bargue; made up of Veficles 5 
but fuch as are exceeding fmall ; and hardly vifible without a Glaß. 
4. $. Within This, ftand Milk-Vefels in feven or cight diftinét Co- 
lums, ofdifferent fize: each Colum being alfo made up of {even or 
eight Arched Lines. Betwixt thele Colums, run as many Diametral 
Portions, derived from the Barque, into or towards the Pith, 
5. $. Next within Theft, ftand the Aer-Veféls. Which are like- 
wile divided, by the faid Diametral Portions, into divers Arched 
Lines, The fize of thefe Fefels, as well as their zwmber, is fmall. 
6. $. Within Thee; ftands the Pith, confifting of very {mall Ve- 
ficles or Bladders, as the Barque. “Tis very fmall, the Diameter here- 
“of, being fcarce one fifib, of that of the Pith of Borage. But the 
Barque of Borage is not half fo thick as this of Dandelion, 
7. $. FOR a Third stalk, we may take that of Borage; where- 
in there is fome further Variety. For in a fice hereof, cut tranfverfly, 
there appears, firfta Tough, yet Thinand Tranfparent Skim. With- 
in this Ski» and Continuous therewith, there is alfo a Thin Ring of Sap- 
Veffels : which, without being erufhed in the leaft,do yeild a Lympha. 
8. $. Next ftandeth the Parenchyma of the Barque.. Which is 
made up of a great number of very {mall Veficles or Bladders. Upon . 
the inner Verge of this Parenchyma, ftandeth another Ring of Sap-Veffels: 
which alfo yield a Lympha 5 and that different, as is probable, from 
the Lymphain the utmolt Ring. Hitherto goes the Barque. 
9. $. Adjacent to the Ring of Sap-Veffels, on the inner Verge of 
Barque , ftand the Aer-Veffels on the outer Verge of the Pith. Not in a 
Rings but in feveral Parcels ; fome Parcels or Conjugations,in the figure 
of little Specks; others, in little Arched Lines, almoft like an V Con- 
fonant. And being viewed in a good Glafs, there appearsto be within 
the compas of every larger speck or Parcel, about 20 or 30 Aer- 
Veffels and within the fimalleft, about 8 or 10. 
10. $. The Pith, ina well grown stalk of this Plant; is always 
hollow. But originally, it jis entire. It is likewife wholly made up 
of a great number of Veficles: of which, through a Glafs, fome appear 
Pentangular, others Sexangular, and Septangular. Moft of them are 
larger than thofe of the Barque 5 lo as to be plainly vifible to a naked 
Eye. 
11. $. A FOURTH Trunk , fhall be that of Colemort, which 
feems likewile, to have at leaft, two Sorts of Eympheduöls. For be- 
ing cut tranlverfly, as the former, we may obferve, next the Skin, a 
very
