In the Labiatse the fruit consists of four nutlets derived from a two-carpelled ovary. This ovary was originally two-chambered, with two seeds in each chamber, but by the ingrowth of the wall, four chambers are formed, each containing one seed. The chambers then separate, and we get four little nuts. Generally speaking, we may say that in a dry syn- carpous fruit, if each chamber contains but one seed, the carpels separate into one-seeded indehiscent portions ; if many seeds are present, each chamber splits open to allow for the escape of the seeds, and we get a capsule. It is simply a question of biological Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bevis, James Frederick; Jeffery, Henry John.
