showing the opercular mode of its dehiscence : both more magnijied. 
Plate 124. — Cocculus glabeb. 
A portion of the male plant in flower, and another of the female plant in flower and 
in fruit. 
Fig. 1, one of the male sessile flowers of the capitate head, nat. size. Fig. 2, the flower 
expanded, seen from beneath. Fig. 3, the same, seen from above. Fig. 4, the three outer 
sepals. Fig. 5, the three intermediate sepals. Fg. 6, the three inner sepals. Fg. 7, 
the six petals, with their basal lobes inflected. Fig. 8, the six stamens : all equally mag- 
nijied. Fig. 9, some of the stamens flxed to the claws of the petals, showing the form 
and attachment of the 2-lobed anther-eeUs, and their mode of dehiscence, more magnified. 
Fig. 10, a supra- axillary female inflorescence, the solitary peduncle bearing a head of few 
sessile flowers. Fig. 11, a single flower : both nat. size. Fg. 12, the flower expanded. 
Fig. 13, the three outer sepals. Fig. 14, the three intermediate sepals. Fg. 15, the 
three inner sepals. Fig. 16, the six petals. Fig. 17, the six sterile stamens. Fig. 18, 
the three ovaries : all magnijied on the same scale. Fig. 19, one of the petals embracing 
a stamen fixed on its claw. Fig. 20, a sterile stamen separated. Fig. 21, the three 
ovaries, showing the form of the stigma : all more magnijied. Fig. 22, the three drupes 
from one flower upon the peduncle. Fig. 23, one of the drupes. Fig. 24, its putamen ; 
all nat. size. Fg. 25, the putamen, irregularly tuberculated on both sides, with an ex- 
centric condyle, and a lunated aperture near the centre leading into the cavity of the 
condyle. Fg. 26, the same, seen on its edge, showing the peripherical line of suture. 
Fig. 27, a cross section of the same, showing the seed in its cell, and the two hoUow 
chambers of the eondyle with the external apertures leading into them. Fig. 28, an 
internal view of the putamen divided in two along the sutural line, showing the hippo- 
crepiform cell of the seed around the condyle (here convex), together with the groove termi- 
nating in its depressed centre. Fig. 29, the seed extracted, covered by its membranaceous 
integument, which is expanded at its sinus, where it is insinuated between the subglobular 
plates of the condyle. Fig. 30, a longitudinal section of the same, deprived of its in- 
tegument, showing the embryo imbedded in simple albumen. Fig. 31, a cross section 
of the same. Fig. 32, the embryo, seen edgeways. Fig. 33, the same, seen on its side, 
showing its broad foliaceous incumbent cotyledons : all magnified to the same scale. 
Plate 125. — Nepheoica hexagtna. 
A portion of a branch of the male plant in flower, and another of the female plant in 
flower, with an analysis of its fruit. 
Fg. 1, a male flower expanded, seen from above, magnified. Fig. 2, the three outer 
sepals. Fig. 3, the three intermediate sepals. Fig. 4, the three inner sepals. Fig. 5, 
the six petals of this constant form. Fig. 6, the six stamens fixed to the claw of the 
petals : all magnified to the same scale. Fig. 7, a stamen, seen in different positions, before 
and after dehiscence, more magnified. Fig. 8, a female flower, nat. size. Fig. 9, the three 
outer sepals. Fig. 10, the three intermediate sepals. Fig. 11, the three inner sepals.
