occidente omnia in se clauduntur, eodemque oriente aperiuntur, atque
hæc motio tantam vim habere in ijs obseruatur, vt siliquas dum ha-
bent, occidente Sole, easdem folijs in se arctissimè claudant, & reti-
nere spectentur, eodemque oriente aperiantur, siliquasque relinquant.
Hanc foliorum conuersionem pluribus Aegyptijs alijs plantis commu-
nem animaduerti, vt Acacia, Abrus, Absus, Sesban, atque Tamarin-
tho. Hæc ille. Pari ratione Hemerocallim Athenæus Sole cadente

Horoscopium Botanicum, siue Horologium ope Heliotropiorum
construere.

Cum ex huiusmodi Horlogijs alibi à me constructis, multi sum-
mam delectationem caperent, instanter me sollictarunt, vt ra-
tionem eorumdem construendorum publici iuris facerem, quod
iam peropportunè fieri posse existimaui, ita igitur procedito: Ac-
cipe grande & amplum labrum, quod aqua aliquousque repleas, in
cuius fundi medio obelum infiges, cui suberem pro magnitudine
vasis & caulis Heliotropij, ita adaptabis, ut suber circa obelum,
veluti circa axem, leuiter & sine impedimento moueri possit: huic
suberi florem Heliotropium, quem maiori virtutis efficacia imbu-
tum noris, vnà cum radice & caule, ita alligabis, vt normaliter
suberi insistat, aut etiam per ipsum in aquam penetret, vt in
figura hic apposita apparet: hunc caulem circa radices fascijs laneis
hinc inde in aquam descendentibus, alligabis, per huiusmodi enim
laneas fascias aqua attracta, nutrimentum præhibit herbæ, ne So-
lis suctu exarescat. Quo facto, florem circulo horario, horis ad
tuæ regionis latitudinem diuisis confecto ita circumdabis, vt cen-
