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. 10. The Root cut a little higher, where the Cortical Body sometimes appears only once inserted. 11. The Root cut higher with the Insertions in some number. 12. The Insertions still more numerous. 13. The Pith (a) now begun, the said Insertions being collected in the Center. 14. The Pith (a) more amplified.

The Black Specks are their Pores, which, through a Microscope are fairly visible in them all. Fig. 16.aaaa The Slice of a Trunk of divers years growth. cccc The Cortical Body, or Barque. e The Pith. The white Lines are the Insertions of the Cortical Body or Barque. The Black Lines are the lignous Body. The several Shootings thereof betwixt the black Circles shew the Annuall Rings. Fig. 17.Sheweth a small piece of Oak cut athwart. b The just bigness of it, as it appeareth to the naked eye. bbbb The appearance thereof through a Microscope. aaaa The greater Insertions visible to the bare eye. The white Lines are the smaller Insertions only visible by the Microscope. cccccc The greater Pores visible to the bare eye. eeeeee The middle sized. The black Spots are the smallest of all, and both these latter visible only through the Microscope. c The Pith of every great Pore. Fig. 18.aaaa A piece of the Leaf of a Table. bbbb The lignous Body with its Pores running by the length of the Trunk. cccc The Insertions of the Cortical Body, with the Tract of their Pores running directly cross to those of the lignous, viz. by the Diameter or breadth of the Trunk. Fig. 19.A Slice of a younger Trunk of a Burdock. cccc The utmost Shootings of the lignous Body contiguous to the Skin; wholly distributed into the outer Leaves. eeee The middle Shootings running chiefly into the lower Germens. et et &c. The inner Shootings belonging to the higher Germens. a The Pith. The various Disposure, Size and Figure of the Fibres in the Stalk of a Leaf.
