Mr. Ray of the Number of Plants. 3 j i 



no Man can be fure that there is any one local Plant 

 in the World, unlefs either he himfelf hath vifited 

 every little fpot of the whole Earth, or have informa- 

 tion from intelligent Perions, that know all Plants, 

 in all Countries, both which are utterly impoffible: 

 But if there be no local Plants , as I am confidently 

 perfuaded there are not, then it is next 10 impoffible 

 that Caufes fhould concur to deftroy any one Species 

 out of the Worlds or if they did, that any Man in fo 

 vaft a Place as the Earth is, fo great a part of it alfo 

 Defart, or inhabited by barbarous Nations who mind 

 not thefe things, iliould ever get Advice, or come to 

 the knowledge of it. 



In a Paper of Tho, Willifefr he names 

 thefe following Trees on which he found 

 Miflfeltoe growing, viz.
