a Tube^ which may convey it to the Ova. Now in Legumi- 
nofe Plants, if we carefully take off the PetaU of the Flower, 
we fhall difcover the Pod or SHiqna clofely cover d with an 
involving Membrane, which about the top feparates into 
many Stamina^ each fraught^with its quantity of Farh/a^ 
and thefe 5/^/;;/;/.'i are ciofe bound upon the Brujfj^ which 
is obfervable at the end of that T^be^ which here alfo leads

bended as to make near a right angle with it. 
In Rofes there ftands a CoUimn^ confifting of many Tubes

and therefore we may obferve, that in the firlt opening pf 
the Flower there ftands a ring of Stamf^awhhm the Petala^ •
