reticulated cellular tissue; or it exhibits, pel Ser along 
middle and towards the base an aggregation of warts or ti- 
bercles; these, also, are not constant in all the forms of the 
species. In other species, the tissue shows roundish or elon- 
gated pellucid dots or cells, (glands, as they are usually ealled,) 
very distinct in dried and then soaked specimens. 
The tube of the corolla is cylindric or campanulate, or rath- 
er hemispherical or quite rece but never urceolate or ven- 
tricose during the nt eerie period; the swelling of the im- 
pregnated ovary, however, often gives it that shape. The 
lacinis* of the coisa are of different shape, and ion, 
and proportion, and also sometimes auriculate and imbricate
