Several /^^^ciare lately difcovered to have Seeds, which 
when ripe break out of their places, and by means of 
a glewy Juice, faften themfelves to the Stones or Sub- 
fiances at bottom of the Sea, where they are to grow. 
The common Vifcum has (bch a glewy fubftance, 1 fup- 
pofe, for faftning its Seed to the Barks of Trees. 
' Small iWij/T^i heretofore thought to have no Seed, are 
now known to have great Plenty , and that fo (mall, as 
I have (een it rife up from the ripe Head in Form of 
Smoak, which is without queftton, that it may be car- 
ried by the Air and Wind, to WiJlIs, Trees, or other fit 
Matrix for its Vegetation. 
There is a Fungus called by Clufm^ f^^gus mhmm ano- 
nywus^ and by Dr. Merret^ Campaniformii niger multa 
femina plana in Je continenSy which I have (hewn this So- 
ciety many years fince , that when Ripe, opens to 
the Rain, which on filling a Cup, wherein He its Seeds, 
they are waffied out on every hand, to Propagate its 
Kind. 
There are many Families of Plants with Pappous or 
Tomentofe Seeds, as Dandelions^ ErigerumSyLyJimachia's^ 
Clematis's^ Anemone's^ &c. that when Ripe, their Seeds 
are, by means of their Feathers or Wings, fcattered to 
all neighbouring Parts by the Wind. This is (b effe- 
drual a way, that the Afier Canadenfn annuus nan defer ip^ 
tus Brunyefy hort. Blef. p. lo. or Conyza annua alba 
acrisj Morif. which came at firft from Canada^ is now 
become a wild Plant in many places of Europe, where 
it never was obferved to grow, and far from the Gardens 
where it was firft Planted, from whence the Seed 
had been carried by its Wings, fo that I have (een it in 
fome Parts of JRr^iK^, very many Leagues from fiich 
Places.
