PHANEROGAMIA : FLOWERS. 453 



of the fruit, which have hitherto been named with different technica 

 terms, belong necessarily to the description of the germen, and it is 

 therefore a tedious waste of time to repeat them again in the fruit 

 when no alterations have taken place. What are new and peculiar 

 in the fruit, are the structural conditions, and the diversity of dehiscence 

 depending on those. The former are amply characterised by only four 

 terms ; the latter have hitherto been correctly named, for the greatest and 

 most essential part, with adjective terms ; and therefore the few cases in 

 which authors have inconsistently enough amused themselves in doing 

 otherwise, the substantive in question may be at once expunged. 



In conclusion to this whole morphological investigation, I will "once 

 more express my Ceterum censeo : There can be no Science of Botany 

 without the Study of Development.
