burfting is as foon as foon as ever the Fetala blow 
out enough to be affe&ed by the Sun. 
25. The Flower opened more, and the Farina ap- 
peared fo thick on the Outfide of the Apices, that 
they feem'd quite cover’d from Sight, without a 
very narrow Infpe&ion. 
26. The Farina began to decreafe vifibly, and con- 
tinued to do fo till the 
27. When I perceived fome red curled Stamina , 
without any Apices , pufhing themfelves out at the 
Top thro’ the others. Thefe were, within their 
Bend, thick fet with a kind of Hairs ( a ), and in 
their Paffage took a good Quantity of Farina with 
them, which remain'd a Day longer than that 
which was contained in the Apices , I could not 
obferve the Farina to fall on any particular Part of 
the Flower, but feem'd rather to be difperfed. 
When thefe red Stamina appear, the Farina is go- 
ing, and the Apices , which contain'd it, dead. 
The Flower was kept till it wither'd, and the Stylus , 
&c. cut off 1 but in neither Experiment was there 
found any Difference, after a Month's keeping the 
Farina, except in the Colour, which was deeper. 
Cutting off the Stylus , (J?) foe. may have a con- 
fiderable Effeft upon the Seed, but feems to have but 
little on the Flower : For, tho' it was cut off as foon as 
poffible. 
(a) I cannot obferve any thing in this Flower, unlefs it be thefe, 
that deferve the Name of Papilla : Tho* the firft Magnifier could 
{hew nothing fatisfa&ory as to this Point. 
( b ) This Experiment I have now in Hand ; and if any thing par- 
ticular difeovers itfelf, you {hall know it, with its regular and daily 
Alterations.
