of the lateral ovules, and rudiments of others still lower on the axis, x 20.

organ, and with two median pairs and one transverse pair of foliar organs — the 
most primitive stage in the proliferation of the flower.

uncertain position. 
The following are the abbreviations used : — - 
ap. bd — Proliferating apex of the primary axis. 
ox. bd -- Proliferating apex of the floral axis. 
Ir = Rudiment of foliar organ. 
/ = Foliar organ situated below insertion of lateral ovules. 
J} = Foliar organ which replaces a lateral ovule. 
l~ = Median foliar organ. 
ov 1 = Lateral ovule. 
ov 2 = Median ovule. 
br 1 , br br s , br 4 , br* = Bract of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th pair respectively. 
ax. infi. — Primary axis. 
ax.fl. = Floral axis. 
pf. injl. = Proliferated inflorescence. 
x 63 Position of some missing structure, either ovule or bract.
