vegetables. 



Amongfl thefe are the juices which conftitute the nu- 



tritious fluid of the amnios in the uterus of viviparous animals, or that 

 of the albumen of the egg in oviparous ones. And lafty, the flavilla 

 vit£e, the new fpark of being, or living entity, is alfo fecreted from 

 the blood of male animals by adapted glands to be received into a pro- 



r 



per nidus, and nourifhed by the female. 



I. 



LATERAL PROGENY 



I. As the leaf with its petiole, or foot-flalk, and its caudex down 

 the bark of a tree, with its radicle beneath, conftitutes an individual 



and the bud 



in its bofom fucceeds, and is evidently produced 

 by it ; it may be concluded from the ftrongeft analogy that this new 

 progeny is fecreted from a gland or glands of the 



parent

as 



adheres to the parent, it requires no female apparatus for 



pti 



fhment 



ygenatio 



I was formerly induced to believe, that there was a communication 

 of blood, or inofculatlon of velfels between the parent leaf, and the 

 hew bud in its bofom, as exprefled in Zoonomia, Sedl. XXXIX. 2. 2.

and that this conflituted the difference between paternal geftation and 



ition. But that the vefTels between the new bud and 



maternal gefl: 



the parent leaf-bud do not inofc 



may be well feen by tak 



away the bark of the foot-flalk of a leaf, and of the new bud 



bofom 



remains 



of the arteries of the late leaf 



th 



rudiment of the new bud, are feen to terminate in the alburnum, or 

 to penetrate the pith, but without any apparent communication ; and 



I therefore fufpe£l: 



the embryon bud is not ferved with 



o 



ble blood from the vefTels of the parent, but that it acquires both 



triment and oxy 



m u c h 



the fame manner as the chick 



the egg. See Sed. III. i. 5
