A WARTED-BRANCH. Tis of Oak, about as thick 
as ones middle Finger 3 the Warts the bignefs of Hajle- 
Nuts. 
Another BRANCH with four or five great Warts or 
Wens upon the fides. Wormius, who" hath one like to thefe," 
not of Oak, but Hajle, calls it Lignum St rumofum. 
An Oaken BRANCH permitted to grow for fome time, 
after the Barque had been cut round about to the Wood. 
By which means, that part of the Branch above the Cutis, 
is grown much thicker, than that underneath 5 the one 
being little, more than an inch about, the other almoft two 
inches. Neither is it only the fwekh of the Barque, but 
the Wood it felf is augmented. An Experiment lately 
made by Sig r . Malfighi 3 and may feerri an argument for

length of about a foot. From thence they are perfectly 
divided, and fo wind two feveral ways, almoft like a Rams 
Horn 3 the Barque being fpread out all along to their ends : 
yet only fo as to make them edged. The two ends, with 
Buds like little Claws on the edges, look like a Seals Feet. 
Wormius hath fome Branches, not of Afh, but Fir r, which
