[Sylva, Vol. 1 (of 2) by John Evelyn]@TWC D-Link bookSylva, Vol. 1 (of 2) CHAPTER II 13/14
The _genistae_ in general, and such as bear their seeds in cods, come under the tribe of _siliquosae_: The _lanuginae_ are such as bed their seeds in a cottony-down. The ash, elm, tilia, poplar, hornbeam, willow, salices, &c.
are distinguish'd by their keys, tongues, _samera_, _pericurpia_, and _theca_, small, flat and husky skins, including the seeds, as in so many foliol's, bags and purses, fine membranous cases, catkins, palmes, julus's, &c.
needless to be farther mention'd here, being so particularly describ'd in the chapters following; as are also the various ever-greens and exoticks. FOOTNOTES: {13:1} Qui serere ingenuum volet agrum, Liberat prius arva fruticibus; Falce rubos, filicemque resecat. _Boeth.l.2.

Nec cultu campum cunctantem urgere frequenti, Et saturare fimo pudeat, si forte resistat Culturae: nam tristis humus superanda colendo est. _Rapinus, l.
2._ {20:1} Quid quaeque ferat regio, & quid quaeque recuset. {21:1} Pomona. {25:1} For the transplanting and removing of full-grown forest-trees, and others.
