19. $e IN thisand the Nuts above mentioned,the Seeds are allvery 
Jarge. But in fome other Plants, they are extream fmall, fo as to be 
hardly vifible without a Glaf+s asin Staphifagria, Peony, Bcc. In Ste. 
Phifagria, the Thick, or Inmoft Cover, is commonly a Spherical Triangle, 
conick, towards the Bafe. At the poynt of which, there is a little Cavie 
13, in which the Seed, about as big as a fmall pins head, is lodged. The 
Root whereof isa little ppynted, and the two Lobes rounded at the 
Top. 
eS §. In Peony, the fame Cover is Soft, White, and ofan Oval Fi- 
gure; the part ufed in Medicine. Ufaally thought to be the Seed it 
felf. But is near two hundred times biger than the true Seed, which is 
almoft invifible. It lies in a little Cavity near the bottom of the Covers 
with a thick and blunt Root, and two poynted Lobes or Lesus. 
23. $. IN the Cofee-Berry, the Seed lies inthe Inner or Cartilagi- 
nous Cover ( formerly defcribed ) where one would not expect to find 
it, fe. near the Top or Surface of the Back, The Lobes of the Seed are 
veined like two very minute Leaves, and joyned to a long Root like a 
Stalk, The end of which comes juft to the bottom of the Cover, ready 
for its exit into the Ground. 
22. $. In Goofgrafs, where the Inner Cover is alfo Cartilaginous or 
Horney, the Seed is poltured in much a like manner, and looks juft like 
a couple of poynted Leavs with avery long Stalk. 
23. §. THE Seed of Stramoninm, is alfo inclofed in a Bulky Co- 
ver, Which being foaked in warm water, and very warily cut about 
the edges, with a Ra/or, the Seed may be taken out of it entire. Shaped 
like that of Orach , but much longer. For the Reception whereof, the 
Cover is formed with a hollow, which runs round about it near the 
Edge ; where in the Seed lieslike a little winding Sake.

Of the BUDS of Seeds. And of the P ARTS, of 
which thefe, the Radicle, and Lobes are compounded. 
y ROM between the two Lobes, rifes up the Stalk of 
the Plant. The original whereof, either to the 
naked Eye, ot by a good Glaf, is always vifible in 
the Seed, 
2. $. In many Plants, Nature fees fit only to lay 
the foundation hereof in a fmall round Node; where 
> upon the Leavs, in the Vegetation of the Seed, are 
füperftrudte: in Viole Lunaria, and others. 
3. $. But in the greater number of Seeds, is formed a true Bud, 
confifting of perfe& Leavs ; different from thofe, which grow upon 
the stalk, only in Bignefi3 and fo far in. Shape, as the fame Parts of an 
Animal Fetus, inits feveral ages in the Womb. In many Seeds, GA vel
