Fig. 465. reprefents the feed of ben; it is fomething 
like a kidney, but hath its circumference raifed up into 
double rid & _s, towards which feveral fmall ridges do in 
fome fort radiate from one center. 
Fig. 464. reprefents the feed of chickweed, this alfo is 
partly like a kidney, and partly like a retort, being 
rough call with fmall pieces, as if they were infedls with 
little feet. 
Fig. 463. reprefents the feed of bellis tanaceti folio. 
It hath two triangular hides, and the third conical; the 
two firft have feveral ridges running to the bafe, the head 
triangular with one fide convex, the other two ftreight, 
■with a little pinnacle in the center. 
Fig. 462. reprefents ths feed of wartworth, or fun 
fpurge, it is of a very complex figure, its belly confifting 
of two planiconic Tides, and back fphericonic. The 
bafe and head are both flat, in the middle of the former 
is a peg, by which the feed is fattened, and of the latter 
a pointed knob. The belly-fides is hollowed, fo as to 
make a flat rim of equal breadth ; and the hollows filled 
up with bladders, like thofe of the parenchymous parts 
of a plant. 
There are multitudes of other feeds, which imitate the 
forms of divers forts of {hells; as feed of fcurvy-grafs, a 
kind of purcelane {hell; others reprefent feveral forts of 
larger fruits; fweet and pot marjoram reprefent olives, 
carrot-feeds are like a cleft of a cocoa nut hufk. Others 
are like artificial things, as fuccory feeds are like a quiver 
of arrows, the feeds of aramanthus are fomewhat like an 
eye, the fkin of the black and fhrivelled feeds of onion, 
are all over knobbed like a feal fkin, and forrel has a 
black fhining three-fquare feed. It is almoft endlefs to 
reckon up the feveral fhapes of feeds, they being fo many 
and fo various in their forms. I ttiall therefore leave 
them
