102 EXPLANATION OF PLAT G 03. 



Fig. 8. Magnified portion of Fig. 3 : showing a withered 

 stigma in the centre of each hexagonal tubercle (a) ; 

 beneath these tubercles is a longitudinal Section of 

 the single cells (b), each containing one seed (f) ; 

 and in front of these cells are the hollow bases of 

 other cells (c, c) from which seeds have been re- 

 moved. (Original.) 



Fig. 9. Another magnified portion, showing the apices 

 of many seeds (e) from which the Epicarpium has 

 been removed. (Original.) 



Fig. 10. Another magnified portion, showing at a, b, c, 

 more distinctly the same parts as at Fig, 8 ; and at 

 d, the upper portion of the fibrous foot-stalks beneath 

 the bases of the cells, c. (Original.) 



Fig. 11. Summit of one of the drupes or groups of cells 

 into which the fruit of the recent Pandanus is di- 

 vided ; showing an hexagonal disposition of the coro- 

 nary tubercles, each bearing at its centre the re- 

 mains of a stigma, as in the Podocarya. See Figs. 

 16. 17. (Original.) 



Fig. 12. Exterior of a single seed-cell of Pandanus odo- 

 ratissimus. (Jaquin. Frag. Bot. PI. 14.) 



Fig. 13. Section of a Drupe of Pandanus odoratissimus. 

 The central cell containing a seed, is placed between 

 two abortive cells. At the apex of each cell in this 

 drupe (a) is a withered stigma. (Roxborough Coro- 

 mandel. PI. 96.) 



Figs. 14, 15. Sections of a Drupe of Pandanus odoratis- 

 simus, showing the seeds within the prolific cells 

 surrounded by a hard nut. Beneath this nut is a 

 mass of rigid fibres like those beneath the seeds of 

 Podocarya. (Jaquin.) 



Fig. 16. Summit at the hexagonal tubercle at the apex 

 of a cell of Pandanus humilis, with a withered stigma 

 in the centre. (Jaquin. Frag. Bot. PI. 14.)
