Shortly after the fall of the corolla which I think takes 
place quickly carrying with it? the style, a double long sec- 
tion presents the following appearances : 
'The cicatrix of the style is made up of browned dislocat- 
ed cells, and beyond it projects to a considerable distance; 
slender tubes which are the boyaux. 
The sacs about the middle of the section gives birth to a 
cellular mass, the walls of the cavity surrounding which are 
distinctly sphacelate. 
elow this, there is a common somewhat obpyriform cavity» 
the margins of which are very opaque, this is filled by the 
convoluted prolongations of the tubes beyond the cellular 
mass, and below by the embryo, which is preponderately 
developed. 3 
The first changes in the appearances after impregnation 
consist in a long section of irregular opaque lines along " 
course of the sacs, these-lines have brownish edges, and are 
irregularly flexuose, transparent along the centre, where ae y 
look cellularly subdivided, then, I imagine by the dis- 
appearance of the tissue around each, coalesce into one. ad 
ty, when the appearances are such as I have described above.
