CHAP. Iv, 
Of the FLORID ATTIRE, 
N THIS 4ttire there is alfo much Elegant Vari- 
ety, according to the Deféription we have given 
of it in the ep Book, It always confilts of 
feveral suits; Ten, Twenty, Fourty, a Hun- 
dred, or more, according to the Bigmefs of the 
Flower. And every Suit molt commonly, of three 
diftinét Parts, all of a Regular, but Different Fi- 
gure. The utmoft Part, is always like a little 
Flower with Five Leaves and a Tubular Bafe, like that of Comflip. So 
Tab.59. that every Flower with the Florid Attire, Embofomes, or is, a Pofy. of 
perfect Flowers. 
2. $. In fome Flowers, every one of thefe Florets, is encompaffed. 
with an Hedg of Hairs; and every Hair branched on both fides 
Tab.59. — almoft like a Sprig of Firs as in After Atticus, Golden-Rod , and vs 
others. 
3. $. The Bafe of the Floret is ufually Cylindrick, but fometimes 
Tab. 6 Square, asin French Marigold. And the Leaves hereof which, for 
0.00: the molt part, are Smooth on the Infide, in the fame Flower are all 
over Hairy. And the Edges of thefe little Flowers, are frequently 
Ridged, or asit were, He m’d, like the Edge of a Band. 
Bur. Ch.5.. 4: $. The midlemoft of the Three Parts, which I call the Sheath, 
Tab. 60, is ufually fattened towards the Top, or elfe at the Bottom of the Floret. 
61, 62. This is rather indented, than parted into Leaves. The Surface feldom 
i Plain or Even, but wrought with Five Ridges, andas many Gutters 
running almoft Parallel from the Top to the Bottom. . 
But. Chs., 3+ $ The Inmoft Part, which I call the Blade, runs through the 
Ye hollow of the Two Former, and fo is faftned, with the Floret, to the 
convex of the Seed-Cafe. The Head and Sides of this Part, is always 
befer round about with Globulets, commonly through a Glafi, as big 
asa Turnep-feed, ora great Pins-Head. - In fome Plants growing clofe 
Tab. 60, to the Blade, as in the common Marigold ; in the French, and others, 
61, 62. upon Pedicils or little {lender Stalks. Thefe, as the Blade fpringeth up 
from within the Sheath, are ftill rubed off, and fo ftand like a Powder 
on them both, And fometimes, as in Cichory, they feem to grow on 
the Infide the sheath, if it be fplit with a fmall Pi»: as alfoin Krap- 
weed, in which they are numerous. Yet in the Seed-like Attire, always 
more numerous, than in the Flori

Kind, as Tanfj, Chamemile, and the like. But in Scorzonera, as
