In the axil of each of these are found the flowers, arranged in pairs and surrounded each by an involucre covered with hairs, coryius Aveiima. formed by the lateral second- ary bract, here more or less deeply cut and finally sur- rounding the floral receptacle. The latter has the form of a sac with narrow opening, en- closing in its cavity the ad- nate ovary surmounted by a small annular calyx, very short, epigynous and sur- rounding the base of a style soon divided into two large sub- ulate stigmatiferous branches, coloured red.^ In the inferior ovary, ' there were originally two parietal placentae uniting along the axis of the cavity to form two cells, each of which might bear two ovules; but ordinarily in the adult flower, each cell contains only one descending anatropous ovule, * with micropyle directed upwards and outwards.^ The fruit, around which the secondary bract, forming the involucre, has taken the form of a long green sac, is an achene the pericarp of which, dry and indehiscent, unilocular and monospermous, ® is formed partly of the hardened walls of the receptacular pouch ; it is crowned with the scars of the style and calyx. The descending seed, surrounded by a soft disconnected''' tissue, encloses under its coats a large fleshy. Fig. 172. Female in- florescence (-f-). Fig. 173. Young fruit, long. sect. ff-).
