 lanceolate, one-seventh to as thick as long; with blimt or pointed ends; frequently by means 

 of pressure more or less polyhedral, granular or homogeneous, consisting of over 10,000 com- 

 ponents. Length about 50/i, thickness about 14/i. Separated-grains rounded. Size 0.7 to 2^.

Monolepis chenopodioides Moq. (Chenopodiacece.) Dry endosperm. — Comjioimd grains roimd, oval, 

 oblong, two-fifths to almost as thick as long, rarely somewhat angular as result of pressure, 

 finely granulated or homogeneous, consisting of over 12,000 components. Length about 

 38 to 45m, thicktaess about 25ai. Separated-grains rounded. Size 0.5 to 1.5 and 2^. 



Corispermum hyssopifolium Linn. (Chenopodiaceoe.) Dry endosperm. — Compound grains rounded or 

 oval, sometimes oblong, two-fifths to almost as thick as long, rarely somewhat angiilar by 

 means of pressure, granular or almost homogeneous, consisting of over 9000 components. 

 Length about 25 to 31^, thickness about 18/i. Separated-grains almost round. Size 0.5 to 

 1.5 and 2ix. 



Corispermum marshallii Steven. (Chenopodiacece.) Dry endosperm. — Compound grains spherical 

 or oval, granular, or almost homogeneous. Size about 20yu. Separated-grains rounded. 

 Size 0.7 to 1.5m. 



Achyranlhes argentea Lam. (Amarantacea;.) Dry ejidosperm.^ According to Leon Soubciran (Joiirn. 

 Pharm., 1854, xxv, 96), the endosperm cells, which are easily sejmratcd from one another, 

 contain rounded or oval grains with one dark central spot (probably separated-grains). 

 Size 5ju. 



Achyranlhes fruticosa Lam. (Amarantacea^.) Dry endosperm. — According to Leon Soubeiran (Journ. 

 Pharm., 1854, xxv, 96), starch as in the preceding, except that the grains have fissures 

 radiating from the center. In the embrj'o, single rounded, rather large starch-grains may 

 also be present. 



Albersia blihim Kunth; Amaranthus hlitnm Linn. (Amarantacece.) Dry endosperm. — The endosperm 

 cells are filled with roimded separated-grains. Size 1 to 2jx. 



AUernanthcra paronychioidcs St. Hil. (Amarantacea:.) Dry endosperm. — Compound grains rounded 

 or oval, occasionally somewhat angular, granular or homogeneous. Size about 27/j. Sepa- 

 rated-grains rounded. Size 0.5 to 2/n. 



Amaranlus bulla tusBesser.; Amarantus sanguiricus Linn.; A7narantits frumcnlaccus TRoxh. (Amaran- 

 tacea;.) Dry endosperm. — The cells, which easily separated from one another, are filled with 

 separated-grains. Size scarcely 1^- No compound grains were observed. 



A?7iblyogyne polygonoides Rafn. (Ajnarantacece.) Dry endosperm. — Cells closely filled with sepa- 

 rated-grams, frequently arranged in rows. Size scarcely In. No compound grains were 

 observed. 



Celosia cristata Liim. (Amarantacece.) Dry endosperm. — Compound grains spherical or oval, finely 

 granular. Size 16/x. Separated-grains rounded or roimded-angular. Size 1 to 2.5//. 



Chamissoa albida Mart. (Amarantacea:.) Dry endosperm. — Compound grains mostly spherical, 

 rarely oval, consisting of from G to over 200 almost equal components. Size 17/i. Scpa- 

 rated-gi-ains nearly round to almost polyhedral, rarely with a small cavity. Size 1 to 4ju. 



Desmochccta patula Roem & Schult.; Achyranthus palula Linn. fil. (A7narantacea:.) Dry endosperm. — 

 Compound grains spherical, oval, oblong (not at all angular), half to as thick as long, finely 

 granular, consisting of over 6000 components. Size about 25/i. Separated-grains round. 

 Size 0.7 to 1.5m. 



Euxolus emarginatus A. Br. and Bouch4. (Amarantacece.) Dry endosperm. — Separated-grains rounded 

 or rounded-angular. Size 1 to 3^. Compound grains no longer present. 



Euxolus caudatus Moq. (Amarantacece.) Dry endosperm. — According to Leon Soubeiran (Journ. 

 Pharm., 1854, xxv, 99), the starch-grains in the c(>lls which are easily separated are oval 

 or spherical, without lamellae or hilum. Size 5^. (Probably homogeneous compound grams.)
