it from Wind. Add to this the infinite Quantity of 
Farina, which may be taken off (from the Largenefs 
of its Apex) without any Force, Damage to the 
Flower, or itfelf. To this likewife we may add, that, 
after a Night's keeping gather’d, the Farina has the 
fame Effed and Adion in the Morning, as it had 
when frdh-gather’d : Which Quality no other Farina 
has. See Needham, page 77. 
The Farina of the Paffion- Flower appears (by Mr. 
Cuff’s double reflecting Microfcope) Mag*. 6,5,4, to be 
a fmooth round Globule, of a pretty full Yellow, like 
the Appearance N°. 1. which we fuppofe the Area of 
the Microfcope. Thefe Globules, on being more 
magnify’d, are found to have fome three Circles (as 
N°. 2.) others two, others none. Among thefe. I have 
found a confiderable Number quite white, as at- 
tempted to be {hewn in Tab. II. Fig. 2. N®. 1.5 but 
I never obferv’d thefe ad. When the Globules N°. 2 . 
come to be magnify’d with the firft or fecond Magnifier, 
they appear indented, exadly like N°. 3- All the co- 
lour’d ones, tho’ differently mark’d, yet all ad alike. I 
obferve that thefe ad in a much lefs Space of Time than 
thofe of the Hollyhock, which are ten Minutes, tho’ 
frefhj whereas thefe ad infiantly, tho’ kept for 24 
Hours (a): Neither have thefe any Sudion or con- 
vulfive Motion^ ading intirely ftili, and in the firft 
Water. Attempting to apply them to the opaque 
Microfcope after their Adion, they ftuck round the 
Point like wet Skins : But one Thing I obferve, that 
- they 
(a) I have fince had a Flower lay in a Window from Friday 
Morning till Monday , and the Farina has aded very briskly.
