10. 
Pistillum. 
Sepals now cucullate ; petals veiny, but still only one cen- 
tral vein vascular from the base to the middle; others disap- 
pear from pressure. The further progress of change is as 
follows : development of vessels from base upwards; com- _ 
mencement of separation of inner tissue of anther cells; ova- _ 
rium hollow, cavity subregular (!) ovules none.

. Apex of a branch, on the left is a young punctum of 
a leaf, on the right a larger one, with another by 
the side of the corresponding stipule. 
The same points, containing more parts; a leaf and 2 
large stipules, and a smaller leaf with smaller 
stipules. 
. The larger leaf of the same in front, the two rudi- 
ments of the future lobes are shewn. 
Same points, another view ; the larger leaf and larger 
stipules only seen. 
. The leaf of another, from the same points ; one sti- 
pule, and axillary dise viewed rather obliquely. 
Leaf and axillary disc, more advanced. 
. The same, more magnified ; the lobe of disc next the 
leaf becomes the tendril, the other lobe the outer- 
most bract. 
. The axillary disc detached, a. tendril, b. outer 
bract. 
- Leaf and stipules with young flower bud and tendril, 
in front. 
5a. Future tendril and young flower bud separated, on 
5b. 
the latter the inner and smaller punctum indicates 
the second bract. 
The same, outer bract in front.
