BOOTAN MOUNTAINS. 



curved, up to the commencemerit of the drupe, nothing is 

 to be found but a fleshy curved hollow body, apiculate at 

 its apex. The ovulum before changing its situation has one 

 tegument, this in all probability subsequently adheres firmly 

 with the inside of tlie loculus, and becomes I conceive the 

 drupaceous part. This is curious. I have only seen imperfect 

 ovula, all the perfect ones were examined after the changes 

 alluded to had taken place.
