The Anatomy Book IV. 
12. §. THE Seed-Cafe of Yellow Henbean opens on beth Sides. 
On the Top, is erected a Colum, about 3 an Inch longs which, as the 
Cafe {wells, gwroslefs, and at laft falls off. On the Sides ofthe Uterus 
or Cafe, TwoVafcular Fibres ran oppofitely from the bottom to the 
top, and fo into the Colm. Along the Traé of thefe Fébres, the Ca/e, 
as it ages, gradually cleaves on both Sides afunder. 
13. §. The Cafe is lined with a dry and thin Parchment, as 
fmooth as Glafs. In the Centre of the Ca/é, ftands a great Parenchymous 
Bofs, which is, asit were; the Bed or Placentula of the Seeds 3 which 
lie all over it, as in a Strawberry, And fo in many other Plants, 
Throughout this Bed, the Veffels for the Generation and Nourifhment of 
the Seeds, are diftributed ; one very {mall Fibre, fhooting, from the 
direé& ones, obliquely into each Seed. 
14. §. THE Seed-Café of Tulip, opens with Three Sides; be- 
ing, when young, a Prifiz or long Triangle. From the midle of each 
Side, a Partition or Boord is produced ; all three meeting in the Cex- 
tre of the Cafes and fo parting it into Six Stalls for the Seed. The in- 
fides hereof, are, lined with a thin fmooth and glofly Parchment, like 
that in Hez-bean; derived from the Pith; as the outfide, from the 
Barque: and fo in many other Seed-Ca/es. 
15. §. The Veffels, after they rife above the Stalk, are difpofed 
with great artifice, For firft, they are divided into Three principal 
Branches, which run along the Three Azgles of the Café; where the 
Three Sides, as it ages, gradually cleave afunder. From thefe chief 
Branches, at the Three Ainies divers leffer ones run horizontally, and 
meet at the midle of each Side, From whence again, many yet {maller 
ones are produced through the bredth of each Partition to their Edges 
in the Centreof the Café, Where, once more, they are diftributed into _ 
very fine and hort Threds, whereupon hang the Seeds. 
16. §. THE Seed-Cajé of Stramouium or Thore Apple, is divided 
into Four Clo/éts : Not open one into another, as in Poppy, Tulip, &c. 
but fo many diftin@ Inclofares. In the midft of each Clofet ftands a 
Colum, joyned to the Side of the Clofet by a Wall or Lamine. Through 
the Length of the Colums run feveral greater and lefler Branches of 
Vefels, from whence others are obliquely produced, upon which the 
Seeds grow. 
17. §. THE Seed-Café of Anagallis or Pimpernel, isa little Globes 
which opens not by its Meridian or Vertically, as do the former; but 
by its Horizon. For divers very finall Fébres,being produced from the 
Stalk to the midle of the Cafe 5 do there fetch a Circle, and fo divide it 

, exactly into Two Hemi/pheres: the Uppermoft of which, when the 
Tab, 71. 
Seeds are ripe, falleth off ; and fo the wind fowes them. 
18. §. THE Seed-Cafe of Coded Arfmart, neither opens at the 
Top, nor onthe Sides, as doall the former 5 but at the Bottom. It is 
compoled of Four Sides: the Outer Part of which, is fofter and more 
Jfucculent ; the Inner a tite and {trong Membrane. Inthe Centre of the 
Café, is erected a Pole or Coluz upon which the Seeds do all hang very 
loofely. 
aa §. Fromthis Mechanif, the manner of that violent and fur- 
prifing Ejaculation of the Seeds, is intelligible. Which is not a motion 
originally in the seeds themfelves; but contrived by the Stradure of 
the Cafe. For the seeds hanging very loofe, and not on the Sides of 
the
