In the above table ‘ nucellus ’ indicates the homogeneous nucellus of 
pre-pollination stage, as shown in Figs. 77 and 80, PL LI 1 1 .

are only seen in the micropylar cavity, or resting on the nucellus, and as 
‘ pollen-tube ’ when the tubes are penetrating the apex of the nucellus. 
In the female gametophyte these stages would correspond to the
