Abstract
THE following Observations have been hastily committed to paper, to excite the attention of those Botanists, whom I might have the honour of addressing this evening, to a very important branch of' their fkwwite s -' *.-ammdyydmt inststion of the Stamina which tbe celebrated Jssictr has denominated Ptrigynous: for I lament that as yet I have not met with one of our owit countrymen, who had ever thought about the subject at all. I presume that this perigynous insertion is entirely factitious, or in other words, which you will all comprehend whether you have read Jussieu's book or not, that there is no instance whatever in -the whole Vegetable Kingdom,,of Stamina being inserted in the Calyx. Nor is this mere logomachia, or a cavil respecting terms :
