are diftinguifhed into Duplicate, Triplicate, 
Quadruplicate &c. that is, having a double, 
treble, or quadruple Series or Row, accord- 
ing to the Number of the Repetitions of the 
Corolla. The Polypetalous Flowers are the 
moft fubjec&t to Multiplication ; the Mono- 
petalous are multiplied likewife, but it is 
very uncommon to meet with them full. 
A colored Perianthium, though it may have. 
the Appearance of a Repetition of the Co- 
rolla, ought not to be confidered as fuch; 
for though this Appearance is in fome De- 
gree mon/trous, unnatural, it is no Multipli- 
cation. 
2. A Flower is faid to be PLENUS, full, 
when the Corolla is fo far multiplied as to 
exclude all the Stamina, as was before ob- 
ferved. The Péenitude, Fullnefs, is occafioned 
by the Stamina running into Petals, with 
which the Flower is fo crouded as frequent- 
ly to choak the Piftillum alfo. The Parts 
effential to Generation being thus deftroyed 
in full Flower it is evident they muit be 
barren ; wherefore no good Seed is to be 
expected from them *. And for the fame 
Reaion of their ImperfeCtion, we fhould be 
* Some few, as Papaver and Nigella, perfe& their 
Seed: But thefe are rather multiplicate Flowers than full 
enes,
