PLATE LXX X III. 



Chakotra, sent by Messrs. Carew & Co. 



and b show its outline and section. I here reproduce it because on its B side it was 

 undeveloped. This produced a curious alteration in the oil-cells of the rind. Those 

 shown on the developed, or A side, were simple depressions or concavities, not like 

 pinholes, as in At Anni Kaldn of Plate LXXVII. Between them were the small 

 oil-colls, shown by the dots. On the contrary, on the undeveloped, or B side, the 

 large oil-cells were closely set and elevated, that is convexities, while the small oil-cells 

 were either not developed, or only here and there found, as shown by the few dots. 

 Midway between the two sides the small cells became more apparent, and the 

 convex larger cells became concave. 



b shows the fully-developed oil-cells at A, and only the closely set large cells at B. This 

 fruit had a rosy red pulp, sweet and sub-acid, imperfect and rather dry. The pulp 

 carpels on B side also show a want of development. I think this specimen alone 

 sufficiently proves that the concave or convex oil-cells of the rind do not depend, 

 as Kisso said, on the acid or sweet nature of the pulp, but on a quite different 

 set of conditions. 



NOTE. In this specimen also the elongated centre C probably comes from the fruit 

 having originated in the fusion of two ovaries. (Vide Chapter on " Morphology.")
