TO BOTANY. 63 
Before we leave the fimple Flowers, it 
will be of Ufe to remark, that a fimple 
Flower,in a State of Luxuriancy, may in 
all Cafes be diftinguifhed from a compound 
One in its natural State, by this Rule ; That 
in /fmple Flowers, how much foever multi- 
plied, there is but one Piftillum in the Cen- 
tre of the Flower, common to the whole 
Multiplication ; whereas in compound Flow- 
ers, each of the Florets is furnifhed with 
its own Piftillum and Stamina. 
We come now tothe Impletion of COM- 
POUND Flowers; that thefe are of three 
kinds, Ligulate, Tubulofe, and Radiate, has 
been fhown and explained in Chap. 19. 
where it has alfo been feen, that there is not 
either in the Ligulate or Tubulofe any Dif- 
tinction of Difk or Radius, all the Vlorets 
in thefe being alike; but that the contrary 
is the very Characteriflic of the Radiate ; 
now this being attended to, the manner of 
the Impletion will be eafily underftood. 
Compound Flowers gain their Impletion 
two Ways, either by the Radius, or the 
Difk. We thall begin with the firit. 
Impletion by the Radius is when, by the 
Multiplication of the Radius, the Dik of 
the Flower is filled up: as in He/zanthus, 
Calendula, Chryfanthemum, Anthems, Matri-« 
caria,
