PUNICA. 
Remarks on Pl. DCXXXIV. 
Punica was I believe first separated from Myrtacea by 
Don, whose views have been adopted by D C., subsequently 
Mr. Lindley replaced it among Myrtacea, and has given a 
.. new and ingenious theory as to the structure of the fruit, 
Which he supposes to be formed of many carpella, placed in 
3 two rows instead of one, the other irregularities being due 
_ to adhesion of the placente with the bark and front of 
the cells. It may in the first place be doubted whether the 
. Were fact of plurality of carpella would not be sufficient to 
. indicate Punica to be distinct from Myrtacee in all Indian 
. Species of which the ovaria is bicarpellary. There can be 
. AO doubt that Lindley is right in asserting that Punica has 
à plurality of carpella, but I am disposed to doubt the fact of 
their being arranged in two rows. 
The plurality of composition is indicated inter alia by the 
. Muümber of vascular fascicles of the style, as well as by the 
Sinuosities visible in the upper portion of the stigmatic canal, 
/ ed Which the fascicles are always opposed, which sinuosities 
d to the number of stigmata, with this 
| _ umber, which varies from 5 os the cells of the ovarium,
