@ Side, laterales. On one side of the blasteme, which 
position is peculiar to the one-cotyledon embryos. Gra- _ 
miuneze. 
Opposite, opposite. Placed at the same height on the 
blasteme, but diametrically opposite, as in two-cotyledon 
embryos. Phaseolus, Faba, Pisum. 
In whirls, verticillate. Many, and placed round the 
blasteme at the same height. Pinus, Abies, Larix, Cera- 
tophyllum. 
Contiguous, contigue. ‘Their internal faces closely ap- 
plied to each other.. Most two-cotyledon plants, Rosacee, 
Leguminose. 
Incumbent, imcumbentes. Contiguous and lying upon 
one another, the one towards the summit of the seed, the 
other towards the hile. Hesperis, Smyrnium. 
Accumbent, accumbentes. Contiguous, and lying side by
