The course of the _Sap_ thus turned, it issues, I say, in a direct Line from the _Root_ into the _Plume_, but collaterally into the Lobes also; _sc._ by those two aforesaid Branches which are obliquely transmitted from the _Radicle_ into either Lobe. By which Branches the said _Sap_ being disbursed back into all the _Seminal Root_, and from thence likewise into the _Parenchyma_ of the Lobes; they are both thus fed, and for some time augmenting themselves, really grow; as in _Lupines_ is evident. Yet is not this common to all Seeds; some rot under-ground, as _Corn_; being of a laxer and less Oleous substance, differing herein from most other Seeds; and being not divided into Lobes, but one entire thick Body. And some, although they continue firm, yet rise not as the great _Garden-Bean_; in which therefore it is observable, that the two Main Branches of the Lobes in comparison with that which runs into the _Plume_, are but mean; and so insufficient to the feeding and vegetation of the Lobes; the _Plume_, on the contrary, growing so lusty, as to mount up without them. Excepting a few of these two kinds, all other Seeds whatsoever, (which I have observed) besides that they continue firm, upon the Vegetation of the _Plume_, mount also upwards, and advance above the Mould together with it; as all Seeds which spring up with dissimilar Leaves, the two (for the most part two) dissimilar Leaves, being the very Lobes of the Seed divided, expanded, and thus advanced. The Impediments of our apprehension hereof are the Colour, Size and Shape of the dissimilar Leaves. Notwithstanding, that they are nothing else but the main body of the Seed, how I came first to phansie, and afterwards to know it, was thus: First, I observed in general that the dissimilar Leaves were never jagg’d, but even edg’d: And seeing the even verges of the Lobes of the Seed hereto respondent, I was apt to think, that those which were so like, might prove the same. Next descending to particular Seeds, I observed first of the _Lupine_; that as to its Colour, upon its advance above the Mould, it ever changed into a perfect Green. And why might not the same by parity of Reason be inferr’d of other Seeds? That, as to its size, it grew but little bigger than when first set. Whence, as I discern’d (the Augmentation being but little) we here had only the two Lobes: So, (as some augmentation there was) I inferr’d the like might be, and that, in farther degrees, in other Seeds.
