cavity in the central part of the de^elopinr^ peed. At 

 maturity there is a s + raip;ht axial enbryo which ex- 

 tends from end to end of the seed and which is richly 

 stored with oil and proteid material in all it? cells 

 The upper side of the cotyledons has already a well- 

 developed palli sade layer. CPig. 36). 



Integuments - 



The inner integument is at the beginning three 

 cell layers in thickness, the inner of these three 

 layers takes part in the formation of the inner seed 

 coat. It early becomes filled with dense contents 

 which stain blue readily C^ig. 31). This finally 

 shrinks and becomes applied to the inner cell wall.

 that they can only be made out with di Tficulty.
