fig. 115, origin of bract (b) and scale bundles in bat deed part of strobilus distinct, in 
lower part united (bs); figs. 116-125, t , further course of bundles in 
— bract bundle (6) remains undivided, some nf scale bundles come to lie 
n same plane as bract bundle (figs. 121, 122); lobes of scale separate from one another 
as from bract, each lobe receiving usually one bundle; remaining scale bundles enter 
free portion of bract (figs. 123, 124); bundles end in large irregular tracheids; ovules 
not represented; <7; fig. 126, longitodinal section of young — scale (S) appears 
as small lobes between bract (B) and ovules (0), 16; fig. 127, transverse section of 
young sporophyll, wriig: bract (B), four lobes of scale (.S), and Gaia (0); fig. 128,
