3. $. The Fignres, not only of the larger fort of Seeds, but even 
of the fmalleft, have much and elegant variety. We will take the 
pleafure of comparing thefe which follow. 
4. $. And firt of all,fome are perfectly Spherick , and with an even 
Surfaces asthat of little Century. That of Spergula is alfo.Sphsrick 5 
but hath a knobed Sweface, and isencompafled with a Membraneous 
Rimm, like the Horizon ofa Globe. That of little Celendine is Circu- 
lar, but compreffed like a Cheefè. 
5. $. Others are Nepbroideonszor as it were Hemifpherick Of which 
Figure, and hereunto approaching, there are a greater number than’ 
of any other; as that which agrees with the more frequent shape and 
Fold of the Lobes and Radicle of the Seed, as (hall be ften. Yet with 
fome difference, as to their Shape and Surface. So, that of Lychnis syl- 
vefiris is figur'd juftlike the kidney ofa Cat; and hath a knobed sar- 
face. That of Poppey comes near it in Shape; but hatha Surface ex- 
adtly like that part of the Paunch of a Sheep, ‘called the Hony-Coome. 
That of great Celandine, is a little more oblong; and fo, like the 
Kidney, not of a Cat, but of a Sheep : chequered with parallel Rings 
and other fhort Lines placed alternately betwixt them. 
6. $. Where, by the way, we may fee, as well by the Seed, as by 
the other Parts, of how different kinds, the Great and Little Celan- 
dine, notwithftandig their Names, are to be efteemed. 
7. $. The Seed alfo of Ben or Jpatling Poppey is fomewhat like a 
Kidney + but hath its Circumference raifed up into a double Ridg: to 
which feveral {mall Ridges do in fome fort alfo radiate frome one Centre 
fe. the Bafé of the Seed. 
8. $. The Seed of Chickweed, is partly like a Kidney, and partly 
likea little Retort, As alfo that of Pentaphil. fragiferum. But the for- 
mer is rough caft with fmall pieces having asit were feet on each fide, 
like little Les, With which, the Seed of Leuchanthemum (which 
may be called, the Gient-Chickweed) doth much agree. The latter, 
hath feveral Fibrous Ridges, refembling the Fibres in the Auricles of 
the Heart ; or runing from the nofe to the Circumference, fomewhat 
like the Azymuth Lines on a Quadrant. 
9. $. Some ate Oval; as that of the little Bell, and rough caft 
with Fibres almoft parallel and produced by the Length of the Seed. 
In which latter refpe@, the Seeds alfo of Trachelium and fome other like 
Plants, are agreeable, That of Brookline, is alfo Oval, but encompafled 
with a thick Rima, narrowing all the way to the Baje of the Seed. 
10. $. The Seed of Dovesfoot hath an oval Cone, and a flat Bafe. 
Its Surface favous, like that of Poppy, Toad-flax, and fome other Seeds. 
That of Sedum sinus eftionm luteum, is in a manner the Figure of 
the former inverted, being flat, not at the but on the Top. And 
whereas that rifes with a blunt, Angle, this hath only a Ridg, railed 
above the Surface of the Seed. 
11, $. The Seeds of divers forts of Grafs, aremore Comick, as par- 
ticularly of that, which forthe likenef its Seed hath toa Barly Corn, 
may be called Barley-Grafs. And I little doubt, but that among the 
feral forts of Grafi, there are fome which anfiver to all the of 
Efeule Grains, as Oat-Graft, Rice-Grafi, Wheat-Grafi, Rye 
And accordingly, that they may be more profitably fown in one Grout 
than in another; and ufed with diftingtion, for the higher, or more 
wholfome
