grows, until it can provide for itself; the seed-coats to protect it, especially after it 
is shed; the seed-vessel, to protect it and to nourish it while forming ; the stamens 
and pistil, to originate it. 
260. The embryo consists of its Radicle or original stemlet, from one end of 
which the root starts, from the other the stem is continued; also of one or more 
Cotyledons or Seed-leaves, and often of a Plumule or bud for continuing the stem 
upwards. How the embryo grows into a plant, was fully explained at the com- 
mencement of this book.
