IfiS TO BOTANY. 



given such pompous names*, are held by Linnaeus 

 to be below the notice of the true Botanist : and he 

 warns him from catching the infection of such idle 

 amusement. 



Fruits are observed to change their colour as they 

 ripen; the pericarpium, when it is a berry, changing 

 from green to red, and from red to white ; and in 

 ripe fruits, the colour, whether white, red, or blue, 

 admits of variation ; as in Pyrus, Prunus, Cerasus, 

 and othersf. 



Seeds rarely vary in their colour ; though there are 

 instances of it in Papaver, Avena, Phaseolus, Pisum, 

 and FabaJ. 



Roots are also little subject to alteration in colour ; 

 yet a variation is observed -in the roots of Daucus 

 and Raphanus.
