A portion of a branch in flower. 
Fig, 1, a flower, with its extremely long tube bent. Fig. 2, a section of the upper por-

Plate 59. — TANAEcnrii prj:longum. 
Fig. 1, a capsule beginning to open. Fig. 2, one of the valves of the same, with the 
seeds removed, showing the free replum on each side, and the dissepiment, upon which 
are seen the cicatrices where the seeds were attached. Fig. 3, a transverse section of the 
dissepiment, which is partially bilaminar, with the margins inflected and attached to the 
valves ; at the extremity some of the seeds remain, showing their position, the other part 
displaying the cicatrices corresponding to the hilar attachments of the seeds. Fig. 4, part 
of one of the valves, which is polished inside, except in a broad line along the margin, 
where it is rough, and from where the reflected margins of the valves have separated 
themselves. Fig. 5, a seed, on the ventral face, with its large marginal hilum. Fig. G, 
the same, seen on its dorsal face. Fig. 7, the same, viewed in profile. Fig. 8, a seed, 
with a portion of the crustaceous testa removed, showing the septiform division with an 
aperture in its centre, where the radicle is esconced. Fig. 9, the embryo covered by its 
inner integument, the chalaza being in the sinus furthest from the hilum. Fig. 10, the 
same, with the integument removed, showing the radicle pointing to the hilum. Fig. 11, 
the same, seen in profile ; all nat. size.
