 capsule weighing 12 grains, v/e obtain the following results : — 



Outer shrunken soft spiny coverinc 



Axis between cocci 



Three cocci

(42) Sparganium ramosum, p. 325. — The drying regime is such as is- 



found with other drupaceous fruits, as Prunus, Cocos, etc. (see pp. 

 499, 501). 



The pericarp-proportion (husk plus endocarp) is here 88 per cent, for the moist fruit, 

 instead of 85, as in the table. 



It is in the loss of weight of the respective parts that ttie drupaceous 

 regime is here illustrated. 

 (43) Swietenia Mahogani, pp. 324, 325. — The placental axis may be 

 thus differentiated from the capsular walls, with which it is 

 included in the drying regime given on p. 324.
