the other Two ftraight, a little hollowd, and having a fmall pinacle 
in the Cevter. : 
20. §. That of Stechas Arabica, as the former, faving, that the 
Hed is oval, and the Bafe floaped into a little Zriangle. That of 
Wartwort or Sun-Spurge, hath avery complex Figure. The Belly con- 
fifteth of two Planiconick Sides, as the formers the Back, Sphericonich, 
The whole Seed, in a manner, Conick-oval. Yet the Bafe and Head 
both flat. In‘the midle of the former, a Peg by which the Seed ig 
faftned and of thetatter, a poynted Kwob. The midle of the Belly. 
Sides, hollowed, fo as to make a flat Rim of equal Bredth; and the 
hollows filled up with Bladders like thofe in all the Parenchywms Parts 
of a Plant. ; 
at. §. Laftly, there are fome Seeds which are fquare. Whereof 
Tab. 74. fomeare ftraight, as that of Fox-glove; which hath alfo an even Sur- 
face: And that of Blattaria, in which there are feveral little hollows 
in even Rows. And fo in Brounwort. 
22. §. And fome Convex, as that of Chryfanthenum Americ. Tis 
Quadrati-conick, or {quare and fharp at the Bafé, and big at the 
Tab. 74, Head. ‘The sides all plains and a thin Rése erected upon every Ay- 
: gle. Asalfo on the four Sides of the Head, which is flat, with a lit- 
tle Piwacle in the midle. 
23. §. The seed alfo of Tanfey, is. a Conick and bended fquare not 
Tab.74. with the Axgle forward, as the former, but the Side. And inthe 
place of every Rimm, hatha round Ridge. Somewhat like to this, are 
thofe of Febrifuga, Mayweed, and fome others. Thus far of the Fi= 
gures of Seeds. ;

A TURE hath fecured the Propagation of Plante 
feveral ways,but chiefly by the Seed: for the Pro- 
duiion of which, the Root, Leaves, Flower, and 
Fruit, do all officiate, as hath been fhewed. And 
according as the Plant, or the Seed it bears, is 
more liable to be deftroyed, Provifion is made for 
re &iz Propogation, either by a greater number of Seeds, 
or other ways. So the Seeds of Strawberry, being gathered, or eaten 
by Vermin, with the Frait 5 the Plant is therefore eafily propagated by 
Lrunk-Roots. So Poppy, being an annual Plant, is highly prolifick : 
for inftance, the White Peppy 5 which commonly bears about four ma- 
ture Heads, in each of which, there are at leaft ten Partitions, on both 
fides whereof, the Seeds grow; and upon 3th part of one fide, about 
100 Seeds 5 that is, 800 on one Partition: which being multiplied 
by 10 (the number of Partitions ) makes 80003 and 8000 again 
by. 4 (the number of Heads) makes 32000 Seeds, the yearly product 
of that Plant.
