SCARROSUM Fofium [Jim-res, to be rough] 

 Linnxus ranges this word among thofe applied 

 to the fubftauce of leaves ; what it is intended 

 to fignify, I confefs 1 am ignorant. Some ai-e 

 of opinion it means, every nerve of the leaf be- 

 ing vilible on the furface. In tlie laft edition 

 of the Syjlsma fiatwes 1759, we find Scarkf^t 

 which muft be a typographical blunder.
