very Body of the Stalks as entirely, as a Kernel is within an Apple, or 
a Fetus inthe Womb. From whence it comes to paf that the Bafis of 
every Stalk is extreamly fwelled, as going Great with a Bud, 
9. § UPON THE removal of thofe Parts, which are con- 
trived for the Protedion ; the Foulds and Compofture of the Leaves do 
next appear: all which are moft aptly fuited both to the Number. and 
Shape of the Leaves, and alfo their Pofition upon the Branch. In the 
Firft Book («)I have given Examples of thefe Eight Sorts, fe. the (a) Ch. 4. 
Plain Lap, the Plicature, the Duplicature, the Multiplicature, the Sin- 
gle Roll, the Double Back-Roll, the Double Fore-Role, and the Treble- Tab.42. 
Roll. Towhich I thall add Four or Five more. 
10. $. And Firft, in fome Plants, as Ground-Ivy, St. Johns Wort, 
and divers others, where the Leaves are fmall, pretty numerous, and 
grow by pairs, they have no Foild, but ftand Flat and Tangent, like 
a pair of Battledores clapt together. 
11. $. They have the like Poffure in Baum faving, that here 
the Edges of the Leaves are a little curled backward. Not Rolled, a 
Curl being but the beginning of a Rol, So the feveral Labels of a 
Grounfel-Leaf are all laid in a Bach-Curl. 
12. $. The Leaves of fome Plants, as Horehound, White Lamium, 
Nettle, and others, are likewife only Tangent, but are fet with a Fore- 
Curle. And the feveral Labels or Scallops of the Leaf of Common 
Crowfoot, are all Curled Inward. But thofe of Hepatica anrea, are com- 
pofed into Double Fore-Rolls. 
13. $. THE Leaves of Sage, Scabions, Red Lamium, Lychinis 
Sylueftris, and others, are neither couched one over another, as in the 
Bow-Lap 5 nor plated, as in the Flat Lap 5 but being loofély foulded, of 
every pair of Leaves, the half of one is reciprocally reccived between 
the two halfs of another, and may therefore be called the Cleep. 
A Pofition very well fuited to the Smalne of their Number, and the 
Equality of their Size, not fo well agreeing with the Bow-Lap; and 
the fomewhat inward Pofture of the Fibres, not allowing the Flat 
Lap. Sometimes, as in Syringa, where the Leaves are broader, the 
Cleep is joyned with a Fore-Curle. 
14. $. THE laft I fhall mention, is the Plaite-Rol, asin the La: 
pathum Alpimum, which fome call Englifh Rhubarb. The Leaves where- 
of are fo vety large, and the Fibres fo prominent 5 that befides and 
under the two Back-Rolls, they are alfo laid in feveral Plaits, and uns 
der thofe Plaits, again with leffer ones, all molt exquifitely Tucked up 
between the faid Fibres : So, as neither to bruife the fame, nor yet to 
leave any Vacuity: whereby every Leaf, and the whole Bud, lie clofe 
and round within their Veils;
