A. TISSUES. I. Cells ; organs of digestion ; Water : II. Feins ; 

 organs of nutrition ; Earth : III. Spiral vessels ; breathing organs; 

 Air. 



B. ANATOMICAL SYSTEMS. IV. Bark ; cell-system : V. Liber, 

 vein-system : VI. Wood ; spiral-vessel-system. 



C. ORGANS, a. OF THE STALK. VII. Root; cell or bark-organ: 

 VIII. Stem; vein or liber-organ : IX. Leaf; spiral-vessel or 

 wood-organ, b. OF THE BLOOM. X. Seed; root: XI. Capsule ; 

 stem: XII. Blossom; leaf: XIII. Fruit; stalk. 



All systems and organs are repetitions of the tissues ; and the 

 fruit is a melting together of the same, as is seen by the following. 



1. Cells. 



2. Veins. 



3. Spiral Vessels. 



4. Bark. 



5. Liber. 



6. Wood. 



7. Root. 



8. Stem. 



9. Leaves. 



10. Seed. 



11. Capsule. 



12. Blossom. 



13. Nut. } 



14. Plum. Apple. 



15. Berry.) 



The Seed, that is, becoming a Nut ; the Capsule, a Plum or Drupe ; 

 the Blossom, a Berry ; and the synthesis of all, an Apple. 



Generally, then, all these parts may be taken as falling into three 

 sections. 



A. The Tissues. Cells, Veins, and Spiral Vessels, which we 

 call Pith. 



B. The Anatomical Systems. Bark, Liber, and Wood, here call- 

 ed Sheaths. 



C. The Organs, as Root, Stem, Leaves, Blossom, and Fruit, 

 Organs. 



A plant is, then, generally, 



A. Pith. (Parenchyma.) 



1. Cell. (Cellula.) 



2. Vein. (Vena.) 



3. Spiral-vessel. (Trachea.) 



B. Sheaths. (Vagince.) 



4. Bark. (Cortex.) 



5. Liber. (Liber.) 



6. Wood. (Ligrrum.) 



C. Organs. (Organa.) 



a. Of the Stalk. (Truncus.) 



7. Root (Radix.) 



8. Stem. (Caulis.) 



9. Leaf. (Folium.) 



b. Of the Bloom. (Flos.) 



10. Seed. (Semen.) 



11. Capsule. (Pistillum.) 



12. Blossom. (Corolla.) 



c. Of the Fruit. (Fructus.) 

 ia Nut. (Nux.) 



14. Plum. (Drupa.) 



15. Berry. (Bacca.) 



16. Apple. (Pomum.) 



Plants, then, cannot be any thing else than the gradual and inde- 

 pendent evolution of these parts. There must, then, be just so many 

 classes as parts, corresponding in rank to the rank of the parts, 

 Pomacese being the synthesis and highest perfection of the vege- 

 table world.
