50. The worksheet on the seeds of thyme
These pretty fruits here represented, in the 18.
Scheme, are nothing else, but nine several seeds of
Tyme; they are all of them in differing posture, both
as to the eye and the light; nor are they all of them
exactly of the same shape, there being a great
variety both in the bulk and figure of each seed; but
they all agreed in this, that being look'd on with a
Microscope, they each of them exactly resembled a
Lemmon or Orange dry'd; and this both in shape
and colour. Some of them are a little rounder, of the
shape of an Orange, as A and B, they have each of
them a very conspicuous part by which they were
join'd to their little stalk, and one of them had a little
piece of stalk remaining on; the opposite side of the
seed, you may perceive very plainly by the Figure,
is very copped and prominent, as is very usual in
Lemmons; which prominencies are express'd in D,
E and F. …
53. Texts & drawings about the seeds of thyme
We observe that the A seed
is a round one, whereas the B
seed is somehow long, but the
Γ seed is half and miserable.
54. Texts & drawings about the seeds of thyme
The thyme seeds look nearly
the same under the microscope
and the naked eye. Some have
bumps and others have peaks
and they look like lemons,
oranges, olives and some look
like “choco pop” cereals. Most
of them have some small
“bumps” than others who have
“scratches”. Most with the
scratches look like nuts,
whereas those with bumps look
like the skin of a rotten orange
and their colour is black brown
or brown with black.
55. Texts & drawings about the seeds of thyme
The seeds of thyme remind me of
lemons or oranges. They are all in
different position. There is a
great variety in the volume and
shape of the seeds. The seeds
under the microscope have a black
or a brown colour. The seeds are
nosey or common like lemons. Every
time we observe things they are
not as we see them. The seeds
look bigger and different than we
see them with the naked eye.
Thus, we should never say we see
something unless we observe it with
other methods like the microscope
etc.
