2 DEVELOPMENT OF THE FLOWER 
That the pistillum is developed entirely as the other 
parts, first by a prominence or point on the centre of the 
disc, the convolution first indicated by a furrow. 
That in all respects it is a leaf folded on itself. 
- 'That the stamen is at first a point, then a cellular grumous 
body, homogeneous and homovis?ous : that the first change. 
is an opacity (by air ?) of the part along the centre extending 
from below upwards, and a transparency of the margins : that 
this subsequently reaches to the apex. | 
'That the anther is first formed, the filament afterwards.
