PLATE XLVIII. 
Fig. 25. Dqcrydium cupressinum . Longitudinal section through the apical part of the nucellus 
of an ovule. The upper parts of two pollen-tubes are shown containing the body-cell and several 
small nuclei, x 440. 
Fig. 26. D. cupressinum. Longitudinal section through middle region of the nucellus of an ovule, 
showing the lower part of a pollen-tube in which the tube-nucleus has divided, x 375. 
Fig. 27. Fodocarpus macrophyllus. General view of the apical part of the nucellus, showing 
the depression at the top, and a single pollen-tube with body-cell and two smaller nuclei, x 96. 
Fig. 28. P. macrophyllus. The same with several pollen-tubes. In one tube the body-cell is still 
undivided ; in another the male nuclei are present, x 80. 
Fig. 29. P. macrophyllus. The functional and non-functional male nuclei with three small 
nuclei. 
Fig. 30. P. ?nacrophyllus. A section through the cytoplasm surrounding the same body-cell 
as that shown in Fig. 29, and showing three more small nuclei. 
Fig. 31. P. macrophyllus. Apical part of an archegonium just before fertilization, x 235. 
Fig. 32. P. macrophyllus. Two pro-embryos, one undergoing the division from 4 to 8 nuclei, 
the other in the 16-nucleate stage. Only the nuclei seen in one section are shown, x 150.
