DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES. 
the three inner petals, with their basal teeth. Fig. 10, the six stamens. Fig. 11, the 
galeated stamens shown in different positions. Fig. 12, a transverse section of a stamen, 
to show the position of the anther-ceUs. Fig. 13, the three sterile ovaries : all magnified 
to the same scale. Fig. 14, a fruit, nat. size. Fig. 15, the same, shown endways. 
Fig. 16, half of the pericarp removed, to show the putamen imbedded in its fleshy sub- 
stance, and covered with innumerable, long, delicately membranous, flat hairs ; both nat. 
size. Fig. 17, one of the hairs, nat. size. Fig. 18, the same, seen on its side and edge- 
ways, much magnified. Fig. 19, a longitudinal section of the coriaceous putamen, 
showing its bimarsupiate cell, formed by a condylar incomplete septum. Fig. 20, a trans- 
verse section of the same, showing the two incomplete cells. Fig. 21, a longitudinal 
section of the same, close to the septum, on the top of which the seed is attached. Fig. 22, 
the seed extracted, covered by its thin membranaceous integument, attached at its sinus to 
the top of the septum. Fig. 23, the exalbuminous embryo, deprived of its integument. 
Fig. 24, the same, showing its large, fleshy, hippocrepiform, acmmbent cotjdedons, and 
the very short terete radicle : all nat. size. 
Plate 135, — Pachtgone ovata, 
A portion of a branch of the male plant in flower, and another of the female plant of 
PAcnxGONE Plueenetti in flower and in fruit. 
Fig. 1, a portion of the male raceme, magrdfied. Fig. 2, a male flower, nat. size. 
Fig. 3, the three outer sepals. Fig. 4, the three inner sepals. Fig. 5, the six petals, 
with inflected basal lobes. Fig. 6, the six stamens: all equally magnified. Fig. 7, a 
stamen, in different positions, before dehiscence. Fig. 8, the same, after dehiscence : both 
more magnified. Fig. 9, a portion of the female inflorescence, magnified. Fig. 10, a 
female flower, nat. size. Fig. 11, the three outer sepals. Fig. 12, the three inner sepals. 
Fig. 13, the six petals, similar to those of the male. Fig. 14, the six sterile stamens : all 
equally magnified. Fig. 15, a sterile stamen, more magnified. Fig. 16, the three ovaries, 
magnified (as in fig. 14). Fig. 17, a drupe. Fig. 18, its putamen, seen on its face. 
Fig. 19, the same, shown on its edge : all nat. size. Fig. 20, the reniform osseous puta- 
men, with a small external aperture near the sinus leading into one of the small chambers 
of the condyle. Fig. 21, the same, viewed on its edge, showing the peripherical line of 
suture. Fig. 22, a longitudinal section of the same, showing the cyclical cell of the seed 
surrounding the condyle, in which is seen one of its small chambers. Fig. 23, a trans- 
verse section of the same through the two chambers of the condyle, showing the two 
chaimels leading into them from the external apertures. Fig. 24, the seed extracted, 
with its membranaceous integument expanded in its sinus, where it is insinuated into 
the fissure of the condyle. Fig. 25, the exalbuminous embryo, deprived of its integument. 
Fig. 26, the same, seen endways, to show the large, fleshy, accumbent cotyledons, with the 
small conical radicle. Fig. 27, the same, with the cotyledons separated : all magnified 
to the same scale. 
■ Plate 136. — Pleogtne Cunninghami. 
A branch of the female plant in fruit. 
Fig. 1, an axillary bracteated raceme where only one terminal flower remains, nat. size. 
Fig. 2, the flower from which all the sepals and petals have fallen, leaving six conniving 
ovaries on the gynsecium. Fig. 3, a single ovary, showing the cicatrices on the gynsecium.
