DESCRIPTION OF PLATE XXIV. 
Plate of Coffea liberica, from a specimen in the British Museum, collected by Dr. Daniell in January 
1856, at Sierra Leone, where it was cultivated : the flowers have been preserved in liquid. Тһе principal 
figure shows a flowering branch (natural size), with a small lump of clear gummy secretion at the apex, 
with flower-beds in the next axils, with flowers (some fully expanded) in the next, and with very young 
fruits on the lowest axils that are included in the figure. 
Fig. а shows a cluster of three calyces, also natural size, with the calyculate upper bracteoles covering 
the short pedicels, the middle calyx shown after the fall of its corolla, the right-hand one with a 
fully expanded corolla, and the left-hand one with a young unexpanded corolla. 
Fig. b shows a vertical section, somewhat enlarged, of the ovary and epigynous disk by a central plane 
perpendieular to the septum ; the solitary ovules are seen to be attached near the middle. 
Fig. c shows a pyrene as seen from the face, natural size. 
Fig. d shows a lateral view of the same, also natural size. 
Fig. e shows a dorsal view of a seed (natural size) cut away rather obliquely towards the base so as to 
expose the embryo with its inferior radicle.
