the like: wherein one and the fame Part, is both the Epalement of the 
Flower, and when that is gone, furvivesas the Cafe of the Seed. 
3. §. Ofthe Laft, is that of Myagrum Mon|permon, Lithofperme, 
all the Stoves of Fruits, with divers others. And fome Cafes, which 
are foft, as, Ithink, that of Garden Radifh. ‘The former, by cleaving 
in fome part or other; thefe only by roting under Ground. 
4.§ THAT of Garden Radifh, isa Light and Spongy or Pithy 
Body 5 originally, every where entire. But, as it ripens, breaks with- 
in, into feveral White and Dry Mewbranes round about the Seed. By Tub. 
the Length and about 3h of an Inch diftant from the Sides of theCafe, ad 
do runa pair of little Yafewlar Ropes, Some fmaller Frbres are from 
thefe tranfmitted to the Sides of the Café; by which they ate kept 
tite and fteady. Upon divers othets produced towards the Cevtre, hang 
the Seeds, like Two Ropes of Oxions. 
5. §. Of thofe which open fo foon as the Seed is ripe fome are 
madeto open at the Top, as Popy Heads Some on the Side, as moft 
Cods 3 and fome at the Bottow, as that of Coded Arfmart. 
6. §. THE Popy-Head, isa little Dove Cot; divided by Bight 
or Ten Partitions, into fo many Stalls. On both Sides the Partitions, 
hangs a moft numerous Brood of Seeds. The Partitions and Sides of 
the Head, are made of the Barque, and Lined with the Pith. While 
young, they are very thick and fpongy 5 and together with the Seeds, do 
then fill all up. The Head is then alfo every where entire 5 but as it dries, 
it gradually opens at the Top, into feveral Wizdows,one for every Stall: 
which are all covered witha very fair Canopy: A Fabrick defigned for 
feveral purpofes, “as fhall hearafter be faid. 
7.'§. Ofthofewhich open onthe Side 5 fomie are made to open, 
only on One Sides fome; on both Sides; fome, with Three Sides 5 
fome, with mores and fonie horizontally or round about. 
8.:¢. THE COD of Garden Bean (and fo the reft ofthe Lega- 
minous kind) opens on one Side. It hath a Twofold Parenchyma, The 
Utmoft derived fromthe Barque: in which ftand all the Vefels, in fe- Tab, 7o: 
veral Parcels ; one whereof; at the Back of the Cod, is much larger . 
than the reft, fhaped like a Copula ued in Schemes 5 from whence fhoot\ 
thofe leffer Fibres upon which the Beazs do grow. 
g. §. The Inner Parenchymais derived from the Pith. Upon its 
Nativity, and for fome time afterwards,entire and wholly compofed of 
Bladders; asthe Outer. From the Bafé of the Cod they are gradually 
enlarged, fo as tocompofe this Parenchyma into a very foft anc delicate 
Sponge. In which (the Cod being well grown ) the very Threds where- Typ 70 
of the Bladders were woven, are many of them {0 loofe and ample, as 
eafily to be drawn out (as in the uroaving of Kxit-work ) toa confi- 
detable Length, fairly vifible through an ordinary Gla/s.
