ZANONIA. 599 
These lines run into styles, diverging towards their apices, 
-the space occupied by stigmatic tissue. 
Styli ad anguios siti, brevissime, stigmata totidem exactly- 
like short ram’s horns inflexed. 
Ov. triloculare, ovula cujusque locula bina, pendula ab 
apice, l utrinque fissura (incompletz  junctionis) ordinis, 
memb, inter collum proficiens, the cell is opposite the flat faces 
not practically existing, owing to the size of the placentz, 
which starting from a narrow attachment at the angles, fill 
the whole cavity, being besides mutually closely adhering, 
. This triangular mass, so resulting, presents traces of compo- 
sition in the shape of the usual lines* «indicating placentary 
composition, which lines are alternate with the angles. To- 
wards the points of union in the axis, each presents a 
transverse subreniform mark of vascular fibrous tissue. 
At the apex of these composition lines are found the ovula, 
One on either side, a short distance below the base of the styles, 
Ee closely appressed to the mass of placenta. Now in 
is case it would seem that the cells of the ovariam correspond 
48 usual with the styles, that the ovula are attached to the 
Margins of the placenta, which are produced inwards into a 
Confluent mass, the study of the development will alone shew 
Whether this is the proper explanation, or whether the pla. 
nta in this are continuations of the axis, united along 
Certain lines to the carpel leaves. 
Or we may take the parts between the styles as the carpel 
p leaves, which also appear to be indicated by the lines in the 
Vertex of the ovarium. 
. In this case, the placentz will have contracted an adhesion 
With the midrib or centralline of the leaf, and the stigmata 
of each carpellum will be completely separat 
* These lines correspond with the styles, and so with the stigmata, 
often the centre of the cells a the ovarium corresponds with thg
