Ovules attached to the placenta pi, by means of the funiculus /. The legume opens by both ventral and dorsal suture. The placentapZ is double, and runs along each edge of the ventral suture. At the apex of the pod are seen the remains of the style and stigma, and at its base the remains of the calyx. the dorsal suture, and the several lamina are detached from their midribs. The result of this is, that each of the valves carries on the middle of its internal surface a double lamina or dissepiment, which is composed of a portion of the uoited laminas of the two different carpels, as in the Martagon lily. (Pig. 97.) This dehiscence is loculicidal (loculus a cell, and coedo I cut.) In septicidal dehiscence each valve is a complete carpel, and generally contains the ovules attached to the placenta. In loculicidal dehiscence, however, sometimes the placenta accompany the dissepiments, as in the Pansy. Frequently,.
