less compressed, the others a good deal compressed and 
about ovate. 
The albumen of these presented generally the lobes in 
partial state of separation, and then much more rounded, 
indeed they appeared as though they were stuck on the outer 
faces of the cotyledons in a single row, in these too, the in- 
tegument was often interrupted in continuity, and occasion- 
ally nearly floccose. 
The margins of the cotyledons are often not covered with 
albumen: the albumen adheres to the surface. 
In the ovate seeds, the integument seems to dip here and 
there under the albumen, but this is due to the form of the 
Seed, and only occurs along the lines of flexure. 
The structure of the albumen is like that of the Olacin- 
eous Mergue plant; but the tegument in that is highly vas- 
cular, and the inflexion really takes place to a great extent.
