PLATE CCXLI. 



a and b show the fruit of the " Bergamottier mellarose a fleur double " of Kisso. a shows 

 the rind carpels all distinct, and unonited at their distal ends, forming a sort of 

 cap-rim, ottt of which come out numerous other carpels, belonging to inner whorls. 

 The section b shows a very interesting multiplication of rind and pulp carpels. 

 Within the outer whorl of pulp carpels there is a whorl of rind carpels, shown at 

 b', with their oil-cells ; within these, again, is a complete whorl of smaller pulp 

 carpels. The centre of the fruit is occupied by pulp carpels of various sizes. At 

 A there is also a rind carpel. Innermost of all is a circle of rind carpels, with 

 essential oil-cells. 



c is the fruit of the "Bergamottier mellarose" of Risso, showing distinct carpels, and a second 

 whorl of carpels at the distal end. 



d is the anomalous form of orange given by Dr. Masters in his " Teratology," Fig. 32, Plate 

 LXXTV. If I have interpreted it rightly, it consists of single carpels of the centre 

 leaflet and one of the side leaflets of the original trifoliate leaf. By the <loi<ted 

 carpel d', I have endeavoured to complete the trifoliate ancestral form, changed into 

 a tri-carpettar fruit, with att three carpels completely disunited (?). 



e is also taken from Dr. Masters' work, p. 303. It shows the whorl of stamens changed into 

 carpels or pistils.
