Quam ampla funt Tua Opera!

David Pfal. CHT. 24. 
From the preceding ,obfervations, it follows 
ift. That thefe plants are endued by nature with the 
fame organs of fruCification as all others, to wit, a fower 
(Fig. 3.7. 14.). 
adly. That this flower has two effential parts, which feem 
to be the organs of generation, viz. a fecundating pollen, 
and a capfule containing the feeds (Fig. 15. 16. 18.): 
3dly. That befides the pollen and the feeds, there are 
other acceflary parts, relative and proportioned to the con- 
ftruction of that flower, and deftined (Fig. 7. 14. 17.) : 
ft. To prote& the fexual parts when young, the cawl 
(fg. 4. 8.), the opercule (fig. 9. 14.), the cilia (fig. 17.) : 
adly. ‘To prevent the too rapid emiffion of the pollen, 
that thus the bufinefs of generation may be the better. ac- 
complifhed, the internal cilia (fig. 17. A.). 
3dly. To diminith the effect of the impetuofity of the 
fame pollen, by checking its motion, and by detaining it 
for a moment at the orifice, when the fecundation is per= 
formed. ‘This is done by the external cilia, by means of 
their irritability and ofcillatory motion (fig. 17. B.). 
Athly. It appears that the urn isa bi-fexual flower, con= 
taining a capiule more or lefs pedunculated, according to 
the length of the tube. 
sthly. That the fmalleft moffes, as well as all other vege- 
tables, are reproduced by their own particular organs; that 
they obferve the general law of all organized bodies, and 
that they furnith an. additional proof of the great axiom,
