Schleiden's view. Owing to the ex- treme difficulty of observation in this minute field, different views of this process have been advanced. That of Schleiden should not be overlooked. He maintains that the end of the pollen tube actually penetrates the sac and itself becomes the embryonic cell. The pollen grain is in this view the primitive cell, and is itself quickened into development by the contents of nbryo sac. 760. Fertilization IN THE CONIFERS. 60S.
