Tab.t. f. 14. 
Labs f. 24, 
the Radice, is thus requifite 5 therefore, by the frame of the Parts of 
the Beazisit alfo made neceffary. The twomain Branches of the Se- 
minal Root, being produced, as is before obferved, not into the Plume, 
but the Radicle. Now the Sap being brought as far as the Seminal 
Root, in either Lobe; and according to the conduct thereof continu- 
ing ftill to move: it muft needs immediately iffue into the fame Parz, 
whereinto the main Branches themfelves do; that is, into the Radicle. 
By which Sp, thus bringing the feveral Trnéures of the Parts afore- 
faid with it, being ‘now fed; it is no longer a meer Radicle, but is 
made alfo Seminal, and {fo becomes a perfect Root. 
38. §. The Plume, all this while, lyes clofe and ftill. For the fake 
of which, chiefly it is, that the Bean and other Seeds are divided into 
Lobes, viz. That it might be warmly and fafely lodged up between 
them, and fo fecur'd from the Injuries fo tender a Part would fuftain 
from the Mould; whereto, had the Atuin Body been entire, it muft, 
upon the cleaving of the Coats, have lay’n contiguous. 
39. §. But the Radicle being thus impregnated and fhot into a 
Root 5 “tis now time for the Plume torouze out of its Cloyfters, and 
germinatetoo: In order whereto, ‘tis now fed from the Root, with 
laudable and fufficient Alimext, For as the Supplies and Motion of 
Sap were firft made from the Lobes, towards the Root : fo the Root 
being well fhot into the Mould, and now receiving a new and more 
copious Sap from thence 5 the motion hereof muft needs be ftronger, 
and by degrees proceed in acontrary courfe, fc. from the Root to- 
ward the Plume: and, by the coutinuation of the Seminal Root, is di- 
reGly condutted thereinto 3 by which being fed, it gradually enlarges 
and difplays it felf 
40. §. The courfe of the Sap thus turned, it iffues, I fay, in a 
dire& Line fromthe Root into the Plume: but collaterally, into the 
Lobes alfo 5 fe. by thofe two aforefaid Branches which are. obliquely 
tranfmitted from the Radicle into either Lobe. By which Branches the 
faid Sap being disburfed back into all the seminal Root, and from 
thence, likewife into the Parenchyma of the Lobes, they are both thus 
fed, and for fome time augmenting themfelves, really grow: as in Ly- 
pines is evident. 
41. §. - Yet is not this common to all Seeds. Some rot under- 
grounds as Corz; being of a laxer and lef$ Oleous Subftance, differing 
herein from moft other Seeds; and being not divided into Lobes, but 
one entire thick Body. And fome, although they continue firm, and 
are divided into Lobes, yet rife not; asthe great Garden Bean. In 
which, therefore, it is obfervable, That the two Main Brazches of the 
Lobes, in comparifon with that which runs into the Plume, are but 
mean 3 ‘and fo infufficient to the feeding and vegetation of the Lobes 5 
os Plume, on the contrary, growing {o lufty, as to mount up without 
them. 
42. g. Excepting a few of thefe TwoKinds, all other Seeds what- 
foever, (which I have obferved) befides that they continue firm 5 
upon the Vegetation of the Plume, do mount alfo tipwards,and advance 
above the Ground together with it 5 asall seeds which {pringup with 
one or more Diffimilar Leaves: Thefe Diffimilar Leaves, for the moft 
part Two, which firlt {pring up, and are of a different fhape from thofe 
that follow, being the very Lobes of the Seed,divided,expanded,and thus 
advanced. 43.5.
