THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SCIENCE OF 



BOTANY 



I. The Anatomy of the Seed 



i. a. Study the outside of the dry Lima Beans; com- 

 pare several specimens, and observe what fea- 

 tures are common to all and what are individual ; 

 minutely observe : - 



(1) What is the typical shape? 



(2) What is the color? 



(3) What markings have they ? 

 Answer, as far as possible, by drawings made 



twice the natural size ; add notes to describe 

 features which drawing cannot express. 

 b. Remove the coatings from soaked seeds. 



(1) What effect has the soaking had upon 



the markings, size, and shape ? 



(2) How many coats are there ? 



(3) Do the external markings bear any 



relation to the structures inside ? 



(4) What shapes have the structures inside, 



and how are they connected with one 

 another ?
