Growing point of Salvinia (Pringsheim) ; typical ellipsoid type, the single pericline is however incomplete. E. Growing point of Azolla (Strasburger); circular or spheroidal type transitional to ellipsoidal. F. Root-cap of Eqiiisetum (Niigeli and Leitgeb) ; modified circular type. G.

All these schemes are, mutatis mutandis, directly con- vertible into the corresponding solid forms in three dimensions. Sachs has shown in the most beautiful manner that all the above ideal types are closely approximated in nature, and Rauber has applied.
