_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.

Body_ stands Central; the Pores whereof are represented by the
black Specks.
