on its dorsal side. Fig. 24, a longitudinal section of the same, showing the reniform cell 
and the transverse septiform intruding condyle, to the margin of which the seed is attached. 
Fig. 25, a transverse section of the same, showing the transversely septiform condyle, 
which is an expansion of the deep fissure or chink on the ventral face of the seed, around 
which the thin integument is inflected, and is there attached to the margin of the condyle. 
Fig. 26, the exalbuminous embryo deprived of its integument, showing the gigantic supe- 
rior fleshy radicle, which forms half of the seed, and which is inflected at its apex, the 
lower ha^ being formed of the two fleshy accumhent cotyledons. Fig. 27, a side view of 
the same, showing at the foot of the radicle the deep chink which embraces the condyle.

depth : aU magnified to the same scale.
