the former somewhat mealy, the latter hard, feebly sulcate, 

 flat inside, convex outside, and about 7x5 mm. In the 

 var. C. monogyna there is but one stone (see p. 126). 



Fig. 126. Hawthorn, Cratcegus Oxyacantha. 1, flowering shoot ; 

 2, fruit ; 3, section across latter (Wo). 



The scarlet "hip" of Rosa, the Rose (Fig. 127), may be 

 placed here, though it differs somewhat in detail. The 

 ellipsoidal, orange-fleshy, urceolate receptacle is about 

 50 60 mm. long, scarlet-crimson and polished, and en- 

 closes in its hair-lined cavity about 20 25 achenes or 

 "stones," equivalent to the " stones " more closely embraced 

 in the flesh of the " haw " of Cratcegus. Each achene is 

 7 8 mm. long, angular, yellowish and hairy, and has a long 

 style passing up through the aperture of the receptacle.
