from feveral Flowers may occafion the Stripes, and the 
Stamina arifing from the plain Petala , rather than the 
Cornicula , pouring out the Farina , may caufe 
the Flowers with the plain Petala. So that were I to 
extend this to a great many other Plants and were 
there proper Obfervations made upon them , con- 
siderable Improvements might be made upon this 
Do&rine of the Sexes of Plants. For after the Flowers, 
we come next to the Variegation of the Seed of fome 
Plants, particularly the Pbafeoli y whofe various Spots 
and Colours, and even the Bignefs too, may very, 
much depend upon the Effluvia from the Farina , when 
feveral Kinds are Town together. For do but con- 
fider three plain Colours, a White, Red, and dark 
Blue, and you may obferve how many Defendants, and 
whataVariety of Spotsmay proceed from them, TheLu- 
pines alfo in fome Meafure maybe brought in here, and I 
know not but that the MedicaCochleataFalcata Lunata y 
may be multiply’d in its Variations after, the fame 
Manner. But it is Time to. proceed to another Experi- 
ment of my Correfpondent Mr. Miller 
Being perfuaded to it by an ingenious Gardiner, he 
pull’d off all the Male-Flowers of fome Melon Plants 
lb foon as they appeared ; but inftead of finding, as his 
Friend informed him, that thefe Flowers exhauued the 
ISlourifhment from the Fruit.; he found that,, without 
thefe Flowers, none of the Melons would grow, fo , 
that he was deprived of the Fruit which he ex- 
pelled. 
As this Experiment. is aplain Indication of the Ne- 
ce fifty of the F/iriaa , fb it confirms the Ufe I have 
aftign’d to the Leaves,- viz.,, that by entring, the Ca- 
pillaries of the Leaves, and returning, the nutritive^ 
i'arudes may b.e more, attenuated So. here, the Pet ah ■
