lateral cotyledons. The 4 cells of the lower row similarly form 
the hypocotyl. 
MonocotyrLepons.—In the average Monocotyledon, the 
odspore divides to form a short row of 3 cells. The basal cell 
which is the largest of the three does not divide. The middle 
cell of the row by repeated division and unequal growth of the 
cells, develops into a suspensor, a hypocotyl] and a lateral epicotyl. 
The terminal cell, by repeated divisions and unequal growth 
forms the single cotyledon which is terminal on the axis of the 
embryo. — :
