An Account of the 
VEGETATION 
TRUNKS 
Grounded upon the foregoing 
ANATOMY. 
PART IL 
AV ING before given the Anatomy of Trunks; 
I fhall next proceed to fee, what Ufe may be made 
m thereof; and principally, to explicate the manner 
2 of their Vegetation. In doing which, that former 
Method, which ufed in fhewing the manner of the 
Growth of Roots, 1 (hall not exactly follow. For 
fo, in regard the Organical Parts of the Root and 
Trunk are the fame, and confequently their Nutrition and Conforma- 
tion are effected in the fame sway 51 fhould hereby be obligedto a nau- 
feous and unprofitable repetition of many things already faid. The 
Explication therefore of all thofe Particulars, which more efpecially 
belong to the Trank , or are more Apparent therein, and not fpoken of, 
or not fo fully, in the former Books, will be my prefent Task. The 
chief Heads whereof, (hall be thefe Seven following, viz. 
FIRST, the Motion and Courfe of the Sap. 
SECONDLY, The Motion and Courfe of the Aer. 
THIRDLY, The Struiture of the Parts. 
FOURTHLY, The Generation of Liquors. 
FIFTHLY, The Figuration of Trunks. 
SIXTHLY, The Motion of Trunks, 
SEVENTHLY, And laftly the Nature of Trunks as varioufly fitted 
for Mechanical Ufe.
