* 628 LORANTHACE. 
e. The part now violetted by Iodine, there is perhaps a 
tendency to less action along the centre, as at ff. 
At this periud there is nothing satisfactory detectable of 
the nipple, although I have seen appearances as if it had 
become elongated, the apex of the neck, reaching to the 
point where the canal of the style appears to become closed. 
3. Double transverse section of the same. 
The calyculus is distinctly marked out, underneath its 
cutis is a black line of opaque tissue to which succeeds a 
double row of rather large transversely arranged cells. 
a. Calyculus. 
b. A thick layer of dense tissue greenish in its natural 
state. 
c. Sub hexangular in outline. 
c, d, b. Vascular fascicles surrounded as usual by unco- 
lored fibrous tissue. 
e. Greenish tissue occupying the greater part of the inner 
. circle. 
J- Vascular fascicles of the ovarium itself. 
g. Six ovate opaque spots which I take to represent the si- 
tuation of the sacs, and which are violetted by iodine in a 
confluent manner as pointed out by the blue lines. 
À. A central cellular spot, 
4. Double long section of flower bud, 4} lines long. 
Iodine at this period violets in several lines from up 
style to the base of the nipple. 
This body is not so purely violetted as are the lines. 
Appearance of a tubular neck to the nipple. 
a. Calyculus of two layers. 
b. Perianth. 
c. Extent of the white dense tissue of the interior of the 
base of flower. 
d. Nipple-shaped Some 
e. Canal of style. 
f. Green tissue of the base of the flower. —
