Qu. Whether thisGuaLcomes from the Fruity or from 
the Leaves and Stalk ? And if from the latter, whether 
any part of the Tree (as Body, Root, or Branch) will 
fpend it, being purpofely Wounded, and in what Sea- 
fon,^r. - 
Thelnftances I have to fet down of either, are as 
follow : ^ 
In Jttgujfi I have obferved the Clufters both Green 
and Ripe oi Perklymenum Ger, very Leaky,- which np' Feridyme- 
on nearer and heedful Inrpedionj I found to be a thia'''^^"' 
clammy Juice, or Liquid Gum, which falls down upon Liquid 
the Leaves, and keeps its Liquid Form there. 
Here the Purple Juice feems to be a Whey ftpa- 
rated from the liquid Gum ,• but lam of Opinion it's a 
diftindJ: Liquor. 
Again, the red Threads of Rorella end, or are toped i^*^^^^'^- 
with little Bags I which being comprefl^d do yield *a 
Purple Juice (as we above Noted in the /5/)'/)m{:^?j?j aqd 
thofe fmall Buttons on the very tops of thofe Threads, 
are encompaifcd with fmall Tranfparent Pearls or Drops 
of a liquid Gum. They abide in this Form the hotteft: 
Summers Day like Dew, whence alfb the Plant has its 
Name; and upon the lead touch cleave to your 
Finger^, and draw out into long Threads like Bird- 
lime. 
In like manner a liquid Gum (but that it ftands not 
upon fo long Threads, and is much thicker bedewed) ^^'"^^^^^*'^* 
you may obferve upon Pinguicula. 
Note well, That the fmall Drops and Threads, or 
Hairs, in either of thefetwo Plants, are to be icen up- 
on the uppermoft or inmofi: fide of the Leaf, and the 
outmoft anduadermoft is fmooth or void of them , 
which is fomething contrary to all other Plants I have 
obferved.
