Side, laterales. On one side of the blasteme, which 
position is peculiar to the one-cotyledon embryos. Gra- 
mineae. 
Opposite, opposites. Placed at the same height on the 
blasteme, but diametrically opposite, as in two-cotyledon 
embryos. Phaseolus, Faba, Pisurn. 
In -whirls, verticiUates. Many, and placed round the 
blasteme at the same height. Pinus, Abies, Larix, Cera- 
tophyllum. 
Contiguous, contigucs. Their internal faces closely ap- 
plied to each other. Most two-cotyledon plants, Rosacese, 
Leguminosae. 
Incumbent, incumbentes. Contiguous and lying upon 
one another, the one towards the summit of the seed, the 
other towards the hile. Hesperis, Smyrnium.
