lcaft in this Flower; for, after a hot Day, why may 
not the Evening Dews penetrate, and the Farina , 
having at that time aftrong Sudion, from the Drought, 
occafton it to ad ? But I have not made the Obfcr- 
vation at which Time‘the Farina ads mod, Morning 
or Evening ; which I fanfy would fatisfy . 3 dly , From 
this being the only Part of the Flower which appears 
with a Hollow or Indenting on its Top ; by which 
the Adion of the Farina (thus lying inwards) may fall 
down, and fettle in this Hollow, as a Drop of Water 
would do : For I obferve there are no Obftrudions to 
fuch a Suppofition, in the Strudure of the Flower. 
We will go now to the Top of the Flower, where 
are three Stamina placed on the Uterus: Thefe are 
fet in a Manner defcribed before with Tubes ; but, on 
making a longitudinal Sedion, I cannot find them 
carried on in any Shape. 
We come next to the Uterus 5 here I cannot ob* 
ferve any Tubes at all ; nor is there any Appearance 
to me remarkable, till we come to the Bottom of 
the Stylus > and then, by degrees, from a fmaller to 
a greater it rifes, till the Appearance becomes thus 5

for this; ift, That the Farina I obferve, is always damp in the

as yet efcaped every one, That the intenfe Cold has fuch an Effedl on 
the Globules as to throw many into the fame Shape as Aqua fortis 
will.
