Chiefly worthy of notice on account of the difference of 
development between the ovula of the upper, and those of 
the lower portion of the panicle. 
Thus 5, 6, 7 represent anatropous ovula with two distinct 
teguments, from lower part fig. 8, from upper, part antitro- 
pous ovula with one coat. 
This is very curious, there are some reasons for believing, 
that the coat of the antitropous ovula is the inner mem- 
brane, the outer being abortive, because it resembles com- 
siderably the inner coats of the anatropous ovula, and be- 
cause the long funicle is evascular, while in the others there 
is a raphe. 
The mode of attachment of both requires to be examined, 
as well as the ovula towards the middle of each inflorescence 
The carpella alternate with the sepals,
