Fig. 175. Some stages in development of embryos of Aeginetia indica {A- J), 

 Burmannia coelestis (K-N), Cotylanthera tenuis (0), and Leiphaimos spectabilis 

 (P). A-I, Aeginetia, stages in development of proembryo. J, Is. nearly mature 

 seed (seed coat not included), showing spherical embryo (shaded cells) surrounded 

 by endosperm. (After Juliano, 1935.) K-N, Burmannia, l.s. upper part of seed, 

 showing endosperm and embryo; of the two embryos seen in M, one is probably 

 derived from a synergid. (After Ernst and Bernard, 1912.) 0, Cotylanthera, l.s. 

 seed showing embryo, endosperm, and seed coat. P, Leiphaimos, l.s. seed showing 

 five-celled embryo surrounded by thick-walled cells of endosperm and seed coat.
