THeThe BULBIFEROUS GARLICK. Given by Dr. Daniel Whistler. So called, because in the place of Seed, it bears Bulbs at the top of the Stalk. Described by Bauhinus (a) (a) Lib. 19. c. 3. with the Name of Allium proliferum: although Bulbiferum, be more apposite; for that every Plant which bears Seed, is proliferous; the Seed being Plantæ Proles, or the Fœtus of a Plant. The Bulbs (not fully described) are about twenty; in a round Head or Cluster as big as a Nutmeg; each Bulb equal to a midling Peas; consisteth of four or five shells; of which, the outmost is shrunk up to a dry Skin, on one side, of a purplish colour; the inmost incloseth that little Particle which in time becomes another bulbiferous Stalk, with a Root.
