alata, t. 66, &c. and Bryonia dioica, 

 Red-berried Bryony, Engl. Bot. t. 439 ; 

 or by adhesive fibres, as in the preced-

Volubilis, twining round other plants by its 

 own spiral form, either from left to right, 

 supposing the observer in the centre, (or 

 in other words, according to the appa- 



» rent motion of the sun,) as the Black 

 Bryony, Tamus communis, Engl. Bot. 

 t. 91, the Honeysuckles, Lonicera Ca- 

 prifolium, t. 799, and Periclymenum^ 

 t. 800, and the Polygonum Convolvulus, 

 t. 941 ; or from right to left, contrary 

 to the sun, as the Great Bindweed, Con- 

 volvulus sepium, t. 313, the French 

 Bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, Ger. em, 

 1212, fig. 1, &c. — Figures of plants 

 being sometimes reversed by the en- 

 graver, in that case give a wrong repre- 

 sentation of the circumstance in ques- 

 tion, witness Lonicera Periclymenum in 

 Curtis's Elora Londinensis,fasc. 1. f. 15, 

 and many instances might be pointed 

 out of its not beiri£ attended to at all. 



Flagclliformis, long and pliant, like tin*
