19. §. IN thisand the Nuts above mentioned,the Seeds are all very 
large. But in fome other Plants, they are extream {mall, fo as to be 
hardly vifible without a Glafs 5 asin Staphifagria, Peony, &c. In Sta- 
phifagria, the Thick or Inmoft Cover, is commonly a Spherical Triangle, 
conick. towards the Bafe. At the poynt of which, there isa little C2vi- 
ty, inwhich the Seed, about as big as a {mall pins head, is lodged. The 
Root whereof isa little poynted, and the two Lobes rounded at the 
Top. 
Gas §. In Peony, the fame Cover is Soft, White, and ofan Oval Fi- 
gure the part ufed in Medicine. Ufually thought tobe the Seed it 
{elf But isnear two hundred times biger than the true Seed, which is 
almoft invifible. Ic liesin a little Cav#ty near the bottom of the Covers 
with a thick and blunt Root, and two poynted Lobes or Leaws, 
23. §. IN the Coffee-Berry, the Seed lies inthe Izner or Cartilagi- 
nous Cover (formerly defcribed ) where one would not expe to find 
it, fe. near the Top or Surface of the Back. The Lobes of the Seed are 
veined like two very minute Leaves, and joyned to a long Root like a 
Stalk, The end of which comes juft'to the bottom of the Cover, ready 
for its exit into the Ground. : 
22. §. In Goofgrajs, where the Inner Cover is alfo Cartilaginous or 
Horney, the Seed is poftured in much a like manner, and looks jutt like 
a couple of poynted Leavs with avery long Stalk, 
23. §. THE Seed of Stramonium, is alfo inclofed in a Bulky Co+ 
ver. Which being foaked in warm water, and very warily cut about 
the edges, witha Rajor,the Seed may be taken out of it entire. Shaped 
like that of Orach , but much longer. For the Reception whereof, the 
Cover is formed with a hollow, which runs round about it near the 
Edge, where in the Seedlieslike a little winding Swake,

» ROM between the two Lobes, rifes up the Stalk of 
the Plant. The original whereof, either to the 
naked Eye, orby a good Glaf, is always vifible in 
the Seed, 
2. §. Inmany Plants, Nature {ees fit only to lay 
the foundation hereof in a {mall round Nodes where 


ZIG “> upon the Leavs, in the Vegetation of the Seed, are 
fuperftructed : as in Viole Lunaria, and others. 
3. §. But inthe greater number of Seeds, is formed a true Bud, 
confifting of perfect Leavs5 different from thofe, which grow upon 
the Stalk, only in Bignefs; and fo far in Shape, as the fame Parts of an 
Animal Fetus, inits feveral ages inthe Womb. In many Seeds, as well
