Thus at the chalazal end there are only three of the supply bundles present. 
Of these the median bundle bends over the top of the ovule, and in so doing 
divides into two (Text-fig. 4 ,g), while the lateral bundles bend round through 
a right angle (Text-fig. 4,/). All these bundles descend towards the micropyle,

and in so doing any single bundle may divide (Text-fig. 4, e,f). They die 
out about half-way between the chalaza and the micropyle. 
A conspicuous feature in the ovule of P. macrophyllus is the presence 
of a large number of canals in the ovule apparently unrelated to the vascular
