The fucceeding year being drier and hotter^ it \o{i^ ounces^ 
^'^^f^^pl^^y and more than double in the <5 colder, than the (^hot- 
ter Kloneths, I kept it about j yeare, andit decreafed much a- 
bout the fame proportion. And in the year 1660 , hanging it in a 
colder Garret;, it perifhed; . 
ThefeObfervablesIhad about it, that every Year two of the 
greater Leaves firft changed Colour^ and withered 5 aad in the 
Spring-time, there grew out two very frefh and green ones, never 
amounting to the bignes of any of the preeedent5infomuch5that all 
this time! had the fame number of Leaves. And then> thefe new 
Leaves were more frefli and green, and not ferratedjand thicker alfo 
in proportion to their other Dimenfions. Whence perhaps it may 
probably be inferr'd^ ^'/W. from the growth of thefe latter Leaves, 
that there is a Circulation in this Plant of the Succm nutritius. 
For, how is it poffible, that the Roots,continuing as firm a'nd folid 
as at firft, (hould fupply fo much nourishment^ as to procreate mw 
Leaves, unlefs it were from the return of thefaid Succus^ from the 
old and decaying Leaves, into the Root, and there pretruded for the | 
produdlion of new ones < For, all Bulbous Roots, as Garlick, Oni- , 
ons^ Tulips, and efpecially Squils, who protrude their Leaves, pla- i 
ced in a Shop 01 Houfe,have thek Roots lighter, and more fpungy 5 j
