Abstract: Sir, We have formerly given you certain reasons for the Existence of Veins, (analogous to those in Animals) in all Plants whatsoever, not Mushromes excepted ; To which we might add others of later notice ; as the skin of a plant may be cut sheer off with part of the spongy parenchyma, and no signs of Milky juice follow, that is, no breach of a vein.
