dry, with the integuments of the seed cohering inseparably 

 with the endocarpium, so that the two are undistinguishable. 

 Examples. Wheat, Barley, Maize. 



11. Regma, three or more celled, few seeded, superior, 

 dry, the cells bursting from the axis with elasticity into two 

 valves. The outer coat is frequently softer than the endo- 

 carp, and separates from it when ripe ; such regmse are dru- 

 paceous. The cells of this kind of fruit are called cocci. 



Example. Eupohrbia. 



12. Carcerulus. Man}' celled, superior ; cells dry, indehis- 

 cent, ^c\Y seeded, cohering by a common style round a com- 

 mon axis. 



Examples. Tilia, Tropaeolum, Malva. 



13. Samara. Two or more celled, superi- 

 or ; cells fev/ seeded, indehiscent, dry, elon- 

 gated into a wing like expansion, fig. 130. 



Examples. Fraxinus, Acer, Ulmus. 



14. Pyxidhim. One celled, many seeded 

 superior or nearly so; dry, often of a thiu 

 texture, indehiscent, by a 131. 

 transverse incision, so that 

 when ripe the seed and their 

 placenta appear as if seat- 

 ed in a cup covered with a 

 lid, fig. 131. 



Anagallis. 



15. Conceptaculum. Tvvo celled, many 

 seeded, superior, separating into two portions, the seeds o 

 which do not 

 adhere to mar- 

 ginal placentsD, 



but separate ^^^^^B^^^^fev 133 



from their pla- 

 centae, and lie 

 loose in the cav- 

 ity of each cell. 



Examples. Asclepias. Echitcs, fig. 132. 



16. SUiqua. One or two celled, many seeded 



superior, linear, dehiscent by two valves separating 



from the replum ; seeds attached to two placentae 



adhering to the replum, ami opposite to the lobes 



of the stigma, fig. 133. 



17. S'llicula, this differs from the latter in no- 

 thing but its figure, and in containing fewer seeds, 

 it being short and broad. 



Examples. Thalspi, Lcpidium.
