Cape Cilenostoma (Chmiostoma polycmtha).—These are pretty little amber-coloured seeds of thePig wort kind, elongated, rather angular, andcovered with parallel transverse linear depressions. Cape Night Stock (Nycterinia eapensis). —These seeds almost baffle description; no two ofthem are precisely alike: the general form is angularand irregular, with a collapsed appearance. Thecolour is a delicate primrose, and the surface granu-lated like a piece of shagreen (fig. 23G, x 40). Eyebright Seed (Euphrasia officinalis).—Moreelongated than the majority of seeds in this order,with the ends attenuated. The body of the seednearly black and glossy, with longitudinal mem-branaceous dirty-white ridges. Between the ridgesare faint transverse striae (fig. 237, x 40)..
