he calls by the Name of Alth^ay bring forth Seeds ei- 
ther angulofe or round, in Veflels divided into Five Cells, 
more or fewer, of different Form and Magnitude ; ha- 
ving malvaceous Flowers and Calyces leaves alternate- 
ly fituate, feme whole, fome divided into Lobes, fbme 
deeply laciniated. 
Another Remark he gives us concerning the Plants, 
called by the diflinft Names of Apocytta or Dogsbanes, 
Afclepias's or Swallow-worts, and t^eria or Rofe-bayes, 
which Three he reduces to one Kind ; the Charafteriftic 
whereof he makes SUiqu<e, or Cods of one Piece, open- 
ing long-ways, and containing Seeds piled one upon ano- 
ther imhrkatim^ each having a long appendant Filament 
of Down. For whereas fome make the Difference be- 
tween thefe to be, that the Swallow- worts have fmgle 
Cods fucceeding each Flower, but the Dogs-banes and 
l^erias or Rofe-bayes double; and that the Neria are 
ftirubby or arborefcent Plants, containing a Limpid or 
Yellowiffi Juice, whereas the Apocyna yield' a Milk: He 
ihew s that thefe Notes are not proper to one Kind, but 
agree promifcuoufly to all the reft. For fometimes the 
Swallow^- worts bear fingle Cods ; he wigkt have faid aU 
ways according to the Intention of Natures and on the con- 
trary, \,\\^ Apocyna do not always bear double Cods, but 
ibmetime folitary or fmgle. Neither doth Merium only 
grow up to the Magnitude and Stature of a Tree, or 
contain a limpid yellow Juice, but alfo fome forts of Apo^^ 
cj/m; neither doth Swallow-wort only yield a limpid 
watry Juice, but fome forts of Apocyna alfo. Befides 
though this Juice in Swailow^-wort be limpid in the be- 
ginning of Summer, yet towards Autumn it grows thick 
and Milky; as Fab. Columna hath obferved. Of thefe 
Apocyna^ which are very numerous, he gives us a Cata- 
logue, containing both thofe obferved by himfelf, and 
thofe defcribed by ctheis, which he diftinguifhes into 
Two Kinds, i. Ereft^ z. Scandentt 3. He
