PLATE THE SIXTEENTH. 
7, 9 Lindi. 
Fig. 1. Cassia Fistula. Leguminose. 'Tip of the legume, 
partly opened; legume phragmated, many-celled; cells 
one-seeded; placentarium unilateral ; umbilical cord thread- 
like; seeds ovoid, compressed. 
fig. 2. Genista candicans. Leguminose. Cod, or le- 
gume, opened; legume deeply scrobiculate, nearly celled ; 
umbilical cords short, from the convex suture, seeds af- 
fixed alternately to each valve. 
Fug. 3. Seed of the same’ magnified; hile or umbilicus 
prominent. 
Fig. 4. The same, with the hile facing the spectator, hile 
crescentlike, surrounded by a glandular prominent edge. 
Fig. 5. The kernel of the same magnified; seed _peri- 
spermed;. embryo bent, cotyledons ovate; radicle bent, 
centrifugal. 
Fig. 6. Scorpiurus sulcata. Leguminose. Legume 
jointed, nodose, furrowed, spiral. 
Fig..7. Astragalus uliginosus. Leguminose. Legume 
cut transversely, two-celled; partition Iengitudinal, valvean, 
marginal, — 
Fig. 8. Cardamine Greeca. Crucifere. Siliqua, or pod, 
when dehiscent. Valves flat, ribless, flown back and roiled” 
up spirally; partition very narrow, thin; seeds four in each 
cell; umbilical cord fixed alternately to each edge of the 
partition. 
Fig. 9. Sinapis alba. Crucifere. Siliqua hispid, two- 
celled, two-valved; valves marked with three hispid ribs 
lengthways; upper joint valveless, sometimes containing 
one imperfect seed, or partition produced far beyond the 
valves into a swordshape beak. 
Fig. 10. Embryo of the same, magnified : cotyledons 
rounded, nearly leaflike, the outer involving the interior ; 
radicle lying in the furrow of the folding, centrifugal. 
Fig. 11. Raphanistrum vuleare. Crucifere. Part of 
the siliqua; valveless, many-celled, jointed, becoming neck- 
_laceshape; cells boney, separate, in a longitudinal series, 
perforated at each end for the passage of the two umbilical 
cords, which enter all of them, each cord bearing a seed 
in the alternate cells; seeds one in a cell. 
Fig. 12. Boney cell of the same cut transversely.
