POSTSCRIPT. 
AFter the writing of the foregoing Letter, I received 
Intelligence, that Mr. Hat ton obferv'd Fibres iffuing 
V. out of fbme of thefe Tuhera> which lay Spit deep under 
ground ; Co that perhaps they may be Plants fut gene- 
ris y and their fulcated Papilla analogous to, if not Seed- 
Veflels. You know feveral Vegetables bear their Seed 
near the Root, as the Trtfoltum fubterraneum tricoccum re- 
tkulatum flofculis longis alhis ; moft of the Arachydnas y 
and (bme other Legumes, which flower above, but feed 
under ground. As to the Truffles lying fo deep, that is 
common to many Roots that ihoot up Stalks above the 
Earth. To infiance only in that Lathyrus tulerofus, 
call'd commonly Chamcelalanus and Terras Glandes ; in 
Englifti, Peafe-Eartbmt, digg'd up and eaten by the 
poor People, Nan nifi altafoffione invenienda, fays John 
Bauhine. But for a clear Hiftory of thefe, our Judicious 
Mr. Ray maybe confulted, Hi/lor. Plant. Vol. i. p. 895, 
899, 918,919, 941. 
The Roots of our Bulhocaflanum (of the Umbelliferous 
Tribe) commonly call'd Kepper-Nuts, Pignuts and Gtar- 
nuts in the North, lie very deep, and fatten Hogs, which 
are very greedy of them. I have often obferv'd the 
Shepherds and Boys in Torkjhire digging them up for a 
delicate Difh : Perhaps this is the Nucula Terrejiris Sep* 
ientrionalium of Lately and the Apias of Turner.
