But we find the pairof prophylls, not infrequently, in the seedling-plant of the Cucurbitaceae,especially in Benincasa cerifera, where they are also visible in older plants;in other Cucurbitaceae ^ they seem to be confined to the seedling-plant, forexample in Coccinia indica, where, however, they are retained for a some-what long period, and where there are, as also in Momordica balsamina,transitions between the prophylls and the tendrils. The seedling-plantsin one and the same species may show some variation ; sometimes theyhave prophylls, sometimes there are
