thefe are received the little particles of the Flefliy Subftance lodged In the 
globules of Farina ; they are then perfed: Seeds, and ready to grow. 
The way by which thefe covered morfels of the Flefhy Subdance get 
into the Seed, is obvious. The tops of the Seed-Veffels rife in a kind of 
Stigmata, or dewy heads, with open tubes, covered with a fhining mol- 
fture : on thefe the globules of Farina fallj and burfting there, the fepa- 
rated particle, with its wax, makes its way down the future, to the open 
bafe of the Seeds ; in which being lodged, it is called the Flantula Seminalis. 
The Figures in Plate XI. (hew the principal of thefe parts, with their 
feveral terminations, diftindly, as they appear to the naked eye entire, di- 
vided and feparated one from another. Fig. i, exprclfes the entire Plant 
in Its natural fize, with all its parts. At Fig. 2, is reprefented the fame 
Plant fplit dawn fram the Flower thro’ the Root, to fhevv the difpofition 
of the Fledi in the Root, and the origination of the Stalk. Fig. 3, thews 
a fedion of the Footftalk of a Leaf, with its lix Conic Clufters of Veifels. 
Fig. 4, a fedion of the Flovvering-dalk near the ground, where they are 
twelve, and are didind. At Fig, 5, is repre'ented a fedion of the neck 
of the Stalk near the Flower, v/here they are preded clofe together by the 
fmallnefs of the Stalk. Fig. 6, expredes a Filament and Nedarium, en- 
larged by the Microfcope. And the remaining Figures diew the feveral 
Coats and condituent fubdances, as they come oft entire, by means of a 
long maceration, and careful management. 
Figure 7, diews the outer Rind of the Root; which, being taken off 
entire, terminates in the Films, defending the bafes of the Stalks, and is 
not continued at all into them, or upon them. The inner Rind is repre- 
fented at Fig. 8. This forms the Leaf on which the Flower reds ; and 
terminates in it. The next Coat or Blea is reprefented at Fig. 9, forming 
the Petals of the Flower; and terminating in them. At Figure \o, is 
fhewn the Vafcular Series alone and entire, terminating in the Nedaria, and 
forming them entirely. At Figure ii is diewn the courfe of the Mcfhy 
Subdance of the Plant, terminating in the Filaments. And at Fig. 12, the 
Pith, in three disjointed pieces ; one being the Pith of the Root, a fecond 
of the Stalk, and the third of the Seed-Vedels. The Conic Cluders are 
difpofed in this Plant exadly as in the Hellebore ; and, therefore, as they 
could not be reprefented didindly in a Figure of this fize, it is better to 
refer back to that Plate. 
Having thus feen didindly the drudlure of the Plant, we (hall be able 
to trace the courfe of its Juices thro’ thofe feveral parts vve have examin- 
ed j and we fhall find here a much more complex body than the Colchi-
