Book Iv. of E TRÈS, 
11. $. Within every great Bag, is conteined a Third Parenchyma, 
which is alfo a Clufter of other little Bags, about the bigneß of an 
Oate, all disjoyned one from another, and having their diftin& Stal 
is, 
of feveral Lengths, by which they are all faftned to the utmolt Side of 
the great Bag, wherein they are conteined. Within each of thefe lefler 
Bags are conteined many hundreds of Bladders, confifting of moft ex- 
tream fine Threds woven up together into that Figure. Within thefe 
Bladders lies the Acid Juyce of the Limon. 
12. $. A CUCUMER, hath alfo a Threefold Parenchyma. The 
Utmoft, is derived, from the Barque. In this, being expofed for fome 
time to dry, and then cut tran{verlly with a Rafor ; not only the Blad- 
ders, but alfo the Threds whereof the Bladders confift, through a good 
Microfcope, are apparent, 
13. $. Throughout this Parenchyma the Sap-Veffels are difperfed 5 
near the Circumference, in Ten or Twelve very large Branches. Each 
of thefe larger Branches, embofoms another of Aer-Veffels in.its Centre. 
Adjacent to the Midle Parenchyma, they ftand in Cluftres of much 
finaller Branches, but more numerous. 
14. $. Out of all thefe Sap-Veffels, iffues a tranfparent and vifcous 
Mucilage 3 which being dryed, becomes as hard and tough as Guys Tra- 
gacanth, Analogous to which, I fuppofe, is the truly purgative part of 
Elaterinm. 
15. $. The Midle Parenchyma is derived from the Pith; and divi- 
ded into Three Colums, ftanding triangularly, and having each of them 
a Triangular Figure. Within thefe Colums ftand a diltinét Sort of Sap- 
Veffels: from whence, feveral fmall and fhort Fibres (hoot into the In- 
molt Parenchy»a, whereupon the seeds do hang. So that thefe Colyns 
are as it were the Beds on which the Seeds grow. With each of the 
Seed-Branchs or Fibres,goes fome part of the faid Parenchyma or Colum, 
out of which, the Covers of the Seed are formed. 
16. $. The Inmoft Parenchyma wherein the Seeds lic, and which 
anfwers to the Pulp of a Limon, feems likewife to be derived from the 
Colums, that is, to be originally thence produced upon the Seed- Fibres, 
and afterwards Ípread and augmented into a Pulp. By Three Inferti- 
ons from the Colums, and as many fromthe Utmoft Parenchyma, and 
thefe re-inferted itis divided into Six Triqngular Bodies 5 and every 
Triangle, into Three Ovals. 
17. $. A near refemblance betwixt the Garden and Wild C 
with refpeé& to the Inward Struöfure, as well as the Outward F; 
may be obferved: Both of them having a Threefold Parenchyma. Yet 
with this difference, That the Three White Triangular Bodies or Co- 
lms in the one, is anfwered by a White Ring or Tube in the other.
