CRAP. TEV. 
Of the FLORID ATTIRE. 

N THIS Attire there is alfo much Elegant Vari- 
ety, according to the Deféription we have given 
of it in the Fir? Wook, It always confilts of 
feveral Sits; Ten, Twenty, Fourty, a Hun- 
dred, or more, according to the Bignefs of the 
Flower. And every Swit moft commonly, of three 
diftin& Parts, all of a Regular, but Different Fi- 
gure. The utmoft Part, is always like a little 
Flower with Five Leaves and a Tubular Bafe, like that of Com/lip. So 
that every Flower with the Florid Attire, Embofomes, or is, a Pofy of 
perfect Flowers. 
2. §. In fome Flowers, every one of thefe Florets, is encompafled 
with an Hedg of Hairs; and every Hair branched on both fides 
almoft like a Sprig of Fir; as in Aster Atticus, Golden-Rod , and 
others. 
3. §. The Bafe of the Floret is ufually Cylindrick, but fometimes 
Square, asin French Marigold. And the Leaves hereof which, for 
the moft part, are Smooth on the Infide, in the fame Flower are all 
over Hairy, And the Edges of thefe little Flowers, are frequently 
Ridged, or asit were, He wd, like the Edge of a Band. 
4. §. The midlemoft of the Three Parts, which I call the Sheath, 
is ufually fattened towards the Top, or elfe at the Bottom of the Floret. 
This is rather indented, than parted into Leaves. The Surface feldom 
Plain or Even, but wrought with Five Ridges, and as many Gutters 
running almoft Parallel from the Top to the Bottom. 
5. §. The Inmoft Part, which I call the Blade, runs through the 
hollow of the Two Former, and fo is faftned, with the Floret, to the 
convex of the Seed-Cafe. The Head and Sides of this Part, is always 
befet round about with Globulets, commonly through a Gla/s, as big 
asa Turnep-feed, ora great Pins-Head. In fome Plants growing clofe 
to the Blade, as in the common Marigold 5 inthe French, and others, 
upon Pedicils or little flender Stalks- Thefe, as the Blade {pringeth up 
from within the Sheath, are ftill rubed off, and fo ftand like a Powder 
onthem both. And fometimes, as in Cichory, they feem to grow on 
the Infide the sheath, if it be fplit with a {mall Piz: as alfoin Kyap- 
weed, in which they are numerous. Yet inthe Seed-like Aitire, always 
more numerous, than in the Florid. 
6. §. The Head of the Blade is always divided into Two, and fome- 
times into Three Parts, asin Cichorys which, by degrees, curl outward, 
after the manner of Scorpion-Grafs. 
7. §._ The Defcription now given, agrees principally to the Corym- 
biferous Kind, as Tanfy, Chamemile, and the like. But in Scorzonera, as 
alfo Cichory, Hawk-Weed, Monfear and all the Intbows Kind, with many 
more
