Puate IIT. 
Horizontal section through a young haustorium fixed on a root 
of Hemidesmus indicus. The hypoderm (h), outer and inner 
cortex and collapsed layers (c./.) separating them, clear (c!) and 
starchy (c’) cells of the cortex, protoplasmic cells of the nucleus 
(n), secreting cells and lumen of the gland (2) are clearly shown. 
The secreting cells from another gland, showing the rods of 
mucilaginous substance extruded into the lumen of the gland 
(cf. Sant. I, fig. 25). 
Transverse section through a diseased haustorium fixed on a root 
of Abrus precatorius. The stage is somewhat older than the 
last two, as shown by the gland trace (a) in the middle. The 
tissues of the nucleus are decomposed down one side and the 
cavity thus formed is lined with yellow substance. a-c show 
the parts magnified. c, lignified pitted cells. 
A portion of another haustorium of about the same age, also found 
on Abrus precatorius, showing the cells of thé sucker in contact 
with the wood of the vascular cylinder.
