Embryonary sac, now fleshy: filled with young albumen: at- 
tached by its base. 
2. Ditto, the cap is at this period imperfectly formed, pro- 
bably by a condensation of the tissue, dislocated in the neck 
of the excavation. 
3. Ditto, more advanced, the apex of the embryonary sac 
is seen to be lodged in a sort of cup. 
4. Apex of the embryonary sac, long section. 
5. Long section or internal structure of cup, (by pressure) 
its margin appears to run into the decomposed tissue men- 
tioned above, as lining the nucleary excavation. ; 
6. Embryo rudimentary, developed in a single cell, but not 
occupying it all, 
It was too late to ascertain precisely whether the embryo- 
nary sac is, aborigine membranous.

Nucleus and testa adherent : no raphe exists at the time of 
expansion. 
The embryonary sac is distinctly membranous, and is visi- 
ble shortly after the fall of the corolla, and probably before. 
When the young fruit is a line long, it is very distinct, attenu- 
ated at both ends, and shews signs of division, being rugose ex- 
ternally. It contains numerous granules. Itis at this time very 
easily separable, although at an early period it is attached toler- 
 ably firmly by its base. It is occasionally at that time capped 
by a small cell, when this is the case, the greater portion of 
this cell becomes enclosed by the growth of those next it.
