ANOMALIES OF DEVELOPEMENT. CHAP. V- 



two Apples or Pears are developed in an incorpo- 

 rated state, which is a case that now and then oc- 

 curs, it is no doubt best accounted for by the graft 

 of Du Hamel. 

 Anomalies Sometimes the anomaly consists in the figure of 



of figure. 



the fruit which is deformed by the tumours or ex- 

 crescences, in consequence of the bite of insects or 

 injuries of weather producing warts, moles, or 

 specks. 



Colour. Sometimes it consists in the colour, producing 

 green Melons and white Cucumbers.* 



Append- Sometimes it consists in an appendage of leaves, 

 as in the following examples : In the autumn of 

 180Q, when gathering some fruit in the garden of 

 Rendlesham parsonage, I observed some Pears of 

 rather an unusual appearance ; they had grown to 

 nearly the size of the species, and were nearly of 

 the usual shape. But the anomaly consisted in 

 their being each furnished with several leaves resem- 

 bling the proper leaves of the tree, but not so large, 

 having their insertion about half way between the 

 base and apex of the fruit, and growing directly 

 out of the fleshy part of it. This anomaly, which I 

 have not found to be mentioned by any botanist 

 except Du Hamel,-^ may with propriety be desig- 



Thc fbliat- nated by the name of the Foliated fruit* (PI- 

 Fig. 12.)
