Suppose numerous cells like those of Fig. l-')7 to be heaped up like a pile of cannon-balls, and as they grew, to be compacted together while soft and yielding; they would flatten where they touched, and each sphere, being touched by twelve surrounding ones would become twelve-sided. Fig. 438 would represent one of them. Suppose the contiguous faces to be united into one wall or partition be- tween adjacent cavities, and a cellular structure would be formed, like that shown in Fig. 439. Roots, steins, leaves, and the whole of phan- erogamous plants are a fabric of countless num- L.
