(4) Albizzia Lebbek, p. 327. See pp. 334, 349 for a detailed treat- 



ment of these legumes. 



(5) Aquilegia, p. 326. The data given in the table relate to a fruit- 



head with live follicles, each follicle with twenty seeds. 



(6) Areca Catechu^ pp. 26, 326. See under Palms (p. 498). 



(7) Arenga saccharifera^ p. 325. See under Palms (p. 498). 



(8) Bactris, p. 327. See under Palms (pp. 499, 500). 



(9) Barringtonia speciosa^ p. 325. The drying regime is discussed at 



length on p. 294 ; the proportion of parts on pp. 302, 303 j 

 and the history of the fruit in Note n (p. 478) and on p. 318. 

 Only one seed is usually matured in this fruit ; but at times 

 (perhaps in 10 per cent.) there are two seeds. In one fruit 

 specially examined the two seeds were lying one on top of the 

 other, the two contiguous sides being flattened together, as if 

 both seeds had been developed in a single loculus. 



(10) Bignonia, near cequinoctialis, p. 326. The placental septum is not 

 differentiated in the data given in the table. This is done 

 below : 



( Pericarp proper . . 42 per cent. 



Moist fruit < Placental septum . 14 



( Seeds . . 44 



100 



( Pericarp proper . -3 P er cent. 



Dry fruit < Placental septum . . 8 

 (Seeds . . . . 62 



100 



These results may be compared with those for Primula veris 

 (p. 500) and Swietenia Mahogani (p. 503), where a placental 

 axis or columella is concerned. 



(n) Cakile^ p. 327. In both the species named below I have selected 

 fruits where the lower joint as well as the upper joint contained 

 a normal mature seed : 

 (a) Cakile eequalis^ dry fruit from Jamaica : 



Upper joint, less seed .... 0-3 grain 



Seed of upper joint . . . . o-i 



Lower joint, less seed .... 0-2 



Seed of lower joint . . . . . O'i
