The ovula have two coats, the outer of which forms the 
tegument of the seed, the sinuosus cells are developed from. 
above downwards, this always separates with the pericarp. 
The second integ. subsequently becomes united to the nu- 
cleus and finally disappears. 
. The albumen is developed within a very fiae membrane 
formed with the cavity or excavation of the nucleus. It is 
In an early stage attached to the base of the nucleus. The 
embryo appears early. 
a _ This forms an exception to the statement of Schlechtendal, 
that Opposite leaves are never disjointed, male flowers arti- 
culated on the apices of the pedicels. The pedicel being
