The manner of the produaion of herbaceous plants from th 



further inveftiiratlon, as their analogy 



o

 concentric leaves ; but the ftem itfelf arofe from the center betw 

 three lar-e new bulbs in one of them, and between two in the oth

A large root of a young onion, which grew from feed fown in th 

 fpring, was at the fame time diffed^ed by ftripping off the leaves, an 

 their'^fiefliy bafes, one after another, till two buds were vihble in th 



f thefleaiy bafes of the concentric leaves, which formed th 



bulb 



Thefe two bulbs were evidently formed and nourirtied 



caudex by the ftem, and its fix or feven concentric cylindrical leaves; 

 and will, I fuppofe, feparate in the fpring, as they rife up, and pro- 

 duce each of them a flower with two or three new bulbs at the bafe 

 of it, as defcribed in the above paragraph.
