Anatomy of Edible Berries. 539 smaller than the calyx lobes, and alternating with them, and fivestamens opposite the lobes. The short style, about half the lengthof the calyx, is deeply two-cleft. The midribs of each of the floralenvelopes, ten in number, are continued in the fruit in the form oflongitudinal veins and are clearly seen through the transparent epi-carp. The anatropous seeds, one to eight in number, are borne ontwo parietal placentre (//f. iS* I^)- As a result of the crowdedarrangement they are usually flattened on one or more sides. Theouter testa {Fig. ij, III S) is gelatinous and transparent and throughit may be seen the delicate thread-like raphe and the brown hard IV.
