Nature, to obferve the whole progrefs of that Farina to a perfedt Plant

The formation of the Farina of the Radifh, is reprefented in the an-

laid down, by a familiar inftance. 
CHAP. XXIX. 
The Formation of the new Plant in the Farina of a 
Radish. . 
T H E common Garden Radifh, in its full growth, is reprefented Plate 
IX. Fig. I. The Stem of this is compofed as the Stalks of other 
Plants, of the feven conftituent fubftances before defcribed ; and their pro- 
portion in this fpecies is fhewn in a tranfverfe fedtion of the Stalk, Fig. 2, 
cut from the part near the ground. They have the fame difpolition in the 
Footftalk of the Flower, Fig. 3 ; and at the fummit of that Footftalk they 
feparate one from another, to form thofe parts of the Flower which are 
their natural terminations. 
A Flower of the Radith is reprefented at Fig. 4, enlarged by the hli- 
crofcopc, to fliew the feveral parts diftindlly ; and at Fig. 5 the fame 
Flower, with its Footftalk, cut open, and torn from the top into its feveral 
parts, to ftiew how they go off from one another. The Letters a h c d e 
f g, mark the feven conftituent parts ; a the outer Bark ; b the inner 
Rind j c the Blea; d the Vafcular Series ; e the Flefh; f the Conic Cluf- 
ters; and^ the Pith. Thefe terminate diftindtly in the feveral parts of the 
Flower. 
We fee, at Fig. 4, that the entire Flower has its Cup h , two outer Petals 
i /, and two inner Petals k k. Within thefe we fee the fix Filaments ; four 
of which are longer, and two fhorter, n crowned with their Anthercej 
and in the midft of thofe the top of the young Seed-Vefi'els 0 . The fame 
parts are more diftindtly fliewn in the divided Flower p ; and there we fee 
alfo two other parts, w’hich could not be diftinguiflied in the entire one ; 
becaufe they are hid within the other parts: thefe are four protuberances 
within the Cup, and the .Receptacle of the Flower. The four protube- 
rances are thus arranged j two ftand between the rudiment of the Seed- 
Veffel
