These _Semets_ are sometimes fastned so, as to stand erect above their _Chive_, as those of _Larks-heel_. Sometimes, and I think usually, so as to hang a little down, in the manner and figure of a _Kidney_; as in _Mallows_. Their Cleft or Crack is sometimes single, but for the most part double: At these Clefts it is that they disburse their Powders; which as they start out, and stand betwixt the two Lips of each Cleft, have some resemblance to the common Sculpture of a _Pomegranate_ with its Seeds looking out at the Clefts of its _Rind_: This must be observ’d when the Clefts are recently made, which usually is before the expansion of the _Flower_. The Particles of these Powders, though like those of Meal or other Dust, they appear not easily to have any regular shape; yet upon strict observation, especially with the assistance of an indifferent Glass, it doth appear, that they are nothing else but a _Congeries_ of so many perfect _Globes_ or _Globulets_: That which obscures them; is their being so small. In _Dogs-Mercury_, _Borage_, and very many more Plants, they are extreamly so. In _Mallows_, and some others, more fairly visible. Some of these Powders are yellow, as in _Dogs-Mercury_, _Goats-Rue_, &c. and some of other colours: But most of them I think are white; and those of yellow _Henbane_ very elegant; the disburs’d Powders whereof, to the naked eye, are white as Snow; but each _Globulet_, through a Glass, transparent as Crystal; which is not a fallacy from the Glass, but what we see in all transparent Bodies whatsoever, lying in a Powder or small Particles together. The _Florid Attire_, is commonly known by the blind and rude Name of _Thrums_; as in the Flowers of _Marigold_, _Tansie_, &c. How adequate its imposition is, observation will determine: For the several _Thrums_ or rather _Suits_, whereof the _Attire_ is made up, however else they may differ in various Flowers, in this agree, that they are ever consistent of more than one, sometimes of two, and for the most part of three pieces (for which I call them _Suits_) and each piece of a different, but agreeable and comely form. The _outer part_ of every _Suit_, is its _Floret_: whose _Body_ or _Tube_ is divided at the top (like that of the _Cowslip_) into divers distinct Leaves; so that a _Floret_ is the Epitome of a _flower_; and is all the _flower_ that many Plants, as _Mugwort_, _Tansie_, and others, have. What the Learned Dr. _Brown_ observeth of the number Five as to the Leaves of the _flower_, is still more universally holding in these of the _Floret_. Upon the Expansion of the _Floret_, the next part of the _Suit_ is from within its _Tube_ brought to sight; which we may (with respect to that within it) call the _Sheath_: For this also, like the _Floret_, is a concave Body; in its shape very well resembling the Fistulous Pouches of _Wake-Robin_, or of _Dragon_.
