^VIIOSE general Cap is tiled ; or compofed of numerous Scales 
In rows lying over one another, the outer ones gradually flaorter than 
the inner. See PI. 14. Fig. 13. 
ORDER V. 
Whose Cup is fringed ; or has, befides a Tingle Teries of oblong 
Scales which enclofe the Florets, a diftin^l Tingle Teries of flioi ter 
Segments, which Terve as it were as a Cup to the other, and appear a 
kind of fringe round its bottom. See PL 14. Fig. 14. 
These Chara^flers are dlftindt, and independant of tlie general 
fliape of the Cup. 
In the preceeding inftances, at Figures 10, ii, 12, 13, 14, we 
have given the Cup alone, diverted of the Florets ; becaufe the pecu- 
liar formation of the Cup which gives the charadter of the Order may 
be thus bert underrtood : but that they may be alfo known as they appear 
in Nature on the Plant, we have reprefented them in the five fucceed- 
ing Figures, ly, 16, 17, 18, 19. with the Florets in them. 
The intire Flower of the Tagetes with its Cup, is reprefented in 
this view at Fig. ly, tortiew what is meant by an intire Cup. 
The Flower of the Coltsfoot at Fig. 16. to £hew the simple Cup, 
or that confirting of a Angle row of Scales. 
The Flower of the Marygold at Fig. 17, to fhew the double 
Cup. 
The Flower of the China Arter is reprefented entire at Fig. 18^ 
to rtiew the rtrudture of a tiled Cup, that is compofed of leveral 
ranges of Scales laid like tiles over one another. 
The F^lower of the Senecio is reprefented at Fig. 19, to fhew 
the rtrudture of the fringed Cup; or that which is formed of a 
ferious of long Scales, with a number of rtiort ones at the bottom. 
These five Figures therefore reprefent the five dirtindt Orders of 
the firrt Clafs } all agreeing in the form of the tubulated Floret 
divided into five Segments; and in the furreunding Rays.
