In other flowering plants they arc enclosed in the fruit, and if the fruit is indehisceiit they have commonly a brown bitter outer skin. The seeds of dehiscent fruits arc more often conspicuously coloured as in the Spindle-tree (p. loS) ; and they arc sometimes, as in the Willows, Poplars, Willow- herbs, &c., furnished with tufts of hair, which aid in their dispersal by wind. The most important distinction among seeds for purposes of classifi- cation is into dicof)Pedonoits, having two opposite lobes or seed-leaves (cotyledons) with the primary bud between them, add iiioiiocotvli'doiious, with only one such cotyledon. Other terms which are employed in the body of the work will be explained as they occur, or in the glossary at the end of the volume.
