4: $. Thefe Parts differ alfo in their Pofition 5 ftanding fometimes 
Tab, double upon each Pedicil, as in u Snapdragon, and fome others; 
"55° Dur ufnally fingle, as in Blastaria, Clematis Aufiriaca, &c, Sometimes 
faftned to their Pedicils at their middle, ftooping down after the man- 
ner of Poppy and other hanging Flowers ; as in Spanifh-Broom, Hyfop, 
Scabeous, Behen, &c. Sometimes they ftand ercéted, as in Clematis 
Austriaca, Ladyes-Looking-Glafs, Rape-Crowfoot, Ec. Thofe of Coded 
Arfimart have no Pedicils, but ftand upon a large Bafe. 
5. $.. Of the Pedicils themfelves, it isto be noted, That they are 
rarely faftned to the Top of the Repofitory or Cafe of the Seed, but 
round about the Bottom. Partly, That hereby they may the better in- 
tercept and feparate the Incongruows Parts of the Sap from the Seed. 
Yetin the Coded Arfmart they ftand at the Top. Which is not the only 
thing peculiar in that Plant; it being the property thereof, to ejacu- 
late its Seed, upon the leaft touch. Which property feemeth to de- 
pend, partly, upon the Pofition of the faid Pedicils, as (hall be thewed 
in fpeaking of the Seed. 
6. $. Thefe seed-like Parts are alfo of different Number. In Great 
Celandine, Rofe, Rape-Cromfoot, numerous; in Great Plantaine, and 
fome other Herbs, much more confpicous than the Foliature it fel. In 
Germander-Chickweed, they are always Two, and no more. Sometimes 
they follow the number of the Leaves, efpecially in the number 55 as 
in Blattaria, Black Hembean, &c. In Stichwort and Lychnis Sylueftris, 
they are 10, juft double to the number of the Leaves. 
7. $. They differ alfo in their B¿g»e/5, being in fome fmaller Flow- 
ers, large; as in Borage, Ladys-Looking-Glafs, and others: and in fome 
larger Flowers, lefs 5 as in the Rofe. 
8. $. Butefpecially in their Shape, which is always very Elegant, 
and with much Variety. In Borage, likethe point of a Spear. In Blat- 
taria, like a Horfe-fhooe. In Clematis Auftriaca, like the Spatula, where- 
with Apothecaries make their Mixtures. In Mallow, like a Head-Roll. 
In Hyfop, they have one Cleft before in Blattaria, one round about 5 
in Water Bettony, one at the Tops in Scabious, they have a double Cleft, 
Tab. 56, one on each fide; and fo in St. Johns Wort, Hyofeyamus, and others 5 
before they open, in the Shape of adouble Pure. 
9. $. Thefe Parts, are all hollow ; each being the Theca or Cafe 
of a great many extream fmall Particles, either Globular, or otherwife 
Convex 5 but always regularly figur'd. They are all crowded together, 
and faftned in clofe Ranks, without any Pedicils, to the Infides of the 
Theca, like other leffer seeds within a greater 3 or after the fame man- 
ner as in Hyofcyamus and fome other Plants, the true Seeds themfelves 
Tab.55,56i grow all round about clofe to the Bed of the Cafe; as in Clary, and 
the Figures now referred to,may be feen. And when they are ripe, the 
Cafè allo opens and admits them to the Aer, as the Seed-Cafe doth the 
Seed, The whole Attire, together with the Foliature and Seed-Cafey

to. $. The Colour of thefe {mall Particles conteined in the Theca, 
is alfo different. But as That is ufually White or Yellow, fo are Thefez > 
fometimes Blewifb; but never Red. And fometimes not of the fame 
Colour with that of the Theca, Which further fhews how ferupulous 
Nature is, in differencing the Tinétures of the feveral Parts.
