stalk. d. Marks the termination of its angles, which are the only 
dense parts in its composition. 
The same, the viscid covering being removed. The angles are seen 
to terminate in little points, generally three to each. Their continua- 
tion down the stalk is likewise shown. 
Longitudinal and central section of a mature fruit. a. The viscous 
tissue which occupies the entire space between the outer part or 
cutis of the calyx and the ovarium, which is seen at b. c. The 
albumen. d. Radicular and partially exserted extremity of the em- 
bryo. e. Cotyledon cut through longitudinally. / f. Situation of 
both lateral clefts. g. The plumula. 
Perfect embryo detached, both lateral clefts are shown. 
The above figures refer to the same species as those of Tas. IV. 
. Longitudinal and central section of ripe fruit of a Loranthus, species 
unknown. The ovarium is in this species, in the ripe state at least, 
incomplete, its upper two thirds being dissolved into viscum. The 
radicle is immense and almost entirely exserted. 
Base of the same ovarium or capsule, albumen and embryo separated 
from the viscous tissue. At the base of the ovarium is a depression 
indicating its original connection with the pedicel. 
Embryo detached ; the brown apiculus is the remains of the original 
lax cellular funiculus. One of the lateral clefts is visible. 
These three, 5, 6, 7. refer to the same species. 
Longitudinal section of an embryo of Loranthus, species unknown. 
a. Its radicular extremity. b. Cotyledon. c, c. Sites of the lateral 
clefts. d. Plumula. 
10, 11, & 12, refer to the same species. | 
Longitudinal section of the ovarium of a Loranthus, species unknown, 
long before expansion. a. Calyx, tissue of. b. Ditto, mucilaginous 
white portion. c. Ovarium, now fibrous ; its communication with the 
base of the style is very distinct. : 
after impregna- 
tion. a, b, c. Have the same references as in fig. 9. d. The more per- 
sistent base of the ovarium, which has undergone but little change.
