DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES. 
tudinal section of tlie same in the opposite direction, showing the same septum, to the 
upper edge of which the seed is attached. Fig. 18, the hippocrepiform seed, covered by 
a very thin membrane insinuated between the folds of the ruminated albumen, seen 
edgeways. Fig. 19, the same, seen on its face. Fig. 20, a longitudinal section of the 
same, showing the embryo in the middle of the albumen. Fig. 21, the terete hippocrepi- 
form embryo : all nat. size. 
Plate 106. — Abuta (Batschia) eaceitosa.

outer sepals. Fig. 3, the three intermediate sepals. Fig. 4, the three inner sepals, 
smooth inside, with valvate aestivation. Fig. 5, the six stamens, in two series, all 
magnified to the same scale. Fig. 6, the three outer stamens, with filaments setosely 
pilose on a longitudinal line within and on the margin. Fig. 7, the three inner, narrower 
stamens : hoth more magnified. Fig. 8, a female flower before expansion, on its pedicel, 
nat. size. Fig. 9, the three outer sepals. Fig. 10, the* three intermediate sepals. 
Fig. 11, the three inner sepals, smooth inside, with valvate aestivation. Fig. 12, the 
three ovaries, surrounded by the sterile stamens, all seated on the gynaecium, the sepals 
having been removed. Fig. 13, the six sterile stamens. Fig. 14, the three ovaries 
separated : all magnified on the same scale.

magnified. Fig. 3, the same expanded. Fig. 4, the three outer sepals. Fig. 5, the 
three inner sepals, with subimbricate aestivation. Fig. 6, the six stamens : all equally 
magnified. Fig. 7, two of the introrse stamens before dehiscence. Fig. 8, the same, 
showing their very peculiar form in dehiscence : hoth more magnified. Fig. 9, one of the 
three stipitate drupes, nat. size. Fig. 10, section of the pericarp from which the putamen 
has been removed. Fig. 11, the putamen, seen on its face. Fig. 12, the same, seen 
on its edge. Fig. 13, a longitudinal section of the same, showing the condylar septum that 
forms the bimarsupial cell. Fig. 14, a transverse section of the same. Fig. 15, the seed 
extracted, covered by the thin integument, plicated and insinuated into the fissures of the 
albumen. Fig. 16, a longitudinal section of the same, showing the embryo in the middle 
of the albumen ruminated into innumerable fissures. Fig. 17, the long slender hippo- 
crepiform embryo : all nat. size. 
Plate 108. — Htpseepa ctispidata. 
A portion of a branch of the male plant in flower, with another of the same, to show the 
larger size of the leaves on the older branches.
