Phyllody of the ovules—Pending the settlement of the 
existing differences of opinion with reference to the 
morphological nature of the ovule and its component 
parts, much interest attaches to the malformations to 
which they are occasionally subject. Considered purely 
in a teratological point of view, it seems clear that the 
ovular coats are usually, if not always, of foliar nature, 
while the central nucleus is an axial organ; but if this 
be so there still remains the question whether the 
leafy coats of the ovule are processes of the carpel 
itself, or distinct independent formations, like the 
scales of a leaf-bud; as to this latter point, the evi- 
dence is at present very conflicting. Prof. Al. Braun, 
who has devoted much attention to the subject, de- 
seribes and figures ovules of Nigella and Adonis, 
wherein the outer coat of the ovule was converted 
into a leafy, lobed mass, like the ordinary leaves, and 
these he considers to be a portion, not of the carpel, 
but of the ovular bud; he, however, hesitates to pro- 
nounce an opinion on the nature of the pedicel of the 
ovule. In Primulacee, wherein ovular changes are 
very common, the leafy coat of the ovule would seem, 
from the nature of the placenta, to be independent of 
the carpel. Morren, who studied the changes in the
