they may perhaps be infpired at feveral parts 
of the plant, and efpecially at the ^iJiUlum^

feminalis, efpecially towards evening, and in 
the night when the beautiful Tetala of the 
flowers are clofed up, and they, with all 
the other parts of the vegetable, are in a

thefe three by far the moft aftive principles 
in nature will be a Tun£iim Saliens to

are at laft conduced by the regular Analyfis 
of vegetable nature to the firft enlivening 
principle of their minuteft origin.
