_Fig. 2._
_aaaa_ The _Parenchyma_.
_eeee_ The _seminal Root_ distributed throughout the
_Parenchyma_ of either _Lobe_.
_b_ The _Radicle_, with the _seminal Root_ running through it
in one Trunk to the Point thereof.
_c_ The _Plume_, with the Distributions of its _Inner Body_
continued from the _seminal Root_ of either _Lobe_.
_xx_ The oblique _Insertion_ of the two grand Branches of the
_Lobes_ into the Trunk of the _Radicle_.
_Fig. 3._
_The ~Lobe~ of a ~Bean~ cut athwart._
_aaa_ The convex or external part thereof.
_bbb_ The concave side out of sight.
_cccc_ The Extremities of the Branches of the _seminal Root_,
as they appear like so many small Specks in the traverse Cut.
_Fig. 4._
_The Plume cut athwart._
The black Specks represent the Branches of the _seminal Body_
thereinto inserted, or therein distributed.
_Fig. 5._
_aaaa_ A _Lobe_ of a _Gourd-seed_.
_cccc_ The greater Branches.
_ee_ The Sub-divisions and Inosculations of the lesser.
_Fig. 5. 00._
_AA_ A great white _Lupine_.
_aa_ The _Navel-Fibres_ which strike from the Ramulets of the
_Seed-Branch_, into the _Lobes_.
_ab_ The production of the _Navel-Fibre_ into the _Radicle_
(_b._)
_c_ The _Plume_.
_bc_ The _Pith_.
_aeeee_ The distribution of the _Navel-Fibre_ in the _Lobes_;
all becoming the _seminal Root_, describ’d in the first Chapter.
_Fig. 6._
_aaaa_ A Slice of the Root of a Tree.
_cccc_ The _Cortical Body_ or _Barque_.
_e_ The _Pith_.
The black Pieces are the Shootings of the _Lignous Body_.
The Specks therein are its _Pores_.
The White Pieces are the _Insertions_ of the _Cortical Body_.
_Fig. 7._
_Sheweth the Root of ~Berbery~ in the Traverse Cut._
_aaa_ The _Cortical Body_ or _Barque_.
The white Lines are the _Insertions_.
The Black Specks are the Pores of the _Lignous Body_.
_Fig. 8._
_aaaa_ The _Cortical Body_ as appearing in a _Turnep_ cut
athwart.
_acdacd_ The _Lignous Body_, or the several Shoots thereof
represented in their Ranks, by the black Lines; the Pricks
made along the Lines being the Terminations of the said Shoots
or Fibres; not visible except in a thin slice, or after the
Surface of the _Turnep_, being cut, is well dried.
_cccc_ The _Cortical Body_ inserted betwixt the Shootings of
the _Lignous_: or the _Pith_.
_ab ab_ A piece of the _Cortical Body_ taken off, that its own
Insertions (_eeee_) and the Osculations of the _Lignous_ may
be seen; which is best done after the Insertions are a little
dried and shrunk.
_The Appearance of divers Roots, in their Elder estate, as ~ex. gr.~ of a
~Columbine~._
_Fig. 9._ The Fibrous parts of the _Root_, where the _Lignous
Body_ stands Central; the Pores whereof are represented by the
black Specks.
