4. $. Betwixt thefe Two Parenchymas, do run moft of the princi- 
Tab. 69 pal Fibres, or Vafèular Threds. From which feveral fmaller ones are 
branched into the Inmoft Parenchyma 5 upon which, the Seeds do hang. 
5. $. Each of thefe fmaller Branches is invefted with fome part of 
the midle or white Parenchyma, Serving partly to make the Covers of 
the Seed 5 and partly, the Palp, that is, the Inmoft and fineft Parenchyma 
ofthe Berry, in which the Seed lies: 
A White CORIN, without “taking off the skin, fheweth not 
unpleafantly how the Seeds are faftned. Foras the Trunk of the Tree 
continues not to any confiderable Length, entire, as in a Plums, but 
is prefently divided into feveral Boughs 5 nor are the Edges of the Lea 
entire, as alfo in a Plum, but flit into feveral Lobes ; and the Fruit, into 
a great many Corins in a Bunch è Só again, the Seeds do hang upon 
the Fibres, like Twoother Bitches, mevery Corin. As by Refratti- 
oz, Objeds of all Sizes are reprefented on the Walls of the Bye. The 
Operations of Nature being every where Uniform: and fometimes the

For the Shell, ftanding naked, includes the Parenchyma: the bearded 
Cap, not precifely “anfwering to_that, but to the Empalement of the 
Tab. 6 Flower; which likewife in many other Plants, out-lives the Folature

Plum is not Faced, but Lined with a Parenchyma derived at fecond hand 
from the Pith: The shel! of a Nut is not Lined, but Faced with the

is analogous to the Fruit. For the Fruit, ftridly fo
