mca. 



quite broad and projects on the lower surface, where it borders 

 on a large mass of thin-walled, colorless parenchyma. It is 

 composed of seven separate mestome-bundles, each with a 

 parenchyma-sheath and having a support of several layers of 

 stereomatic tissue, especially on the leptome-side.

The petiole. 



The cuticle shows the same structure as described above ; 

 the epidermis possesses stomata, but no hairs, and is rather 

 small-celled. A hypoderm is, also, developed here, but it is 

 uniform and consists only of one layer of roundish cells. The
