The pollen chamber consists of the same circular crevice as in Lagenostoma, but the embryo sac develops into the nucellar projection (fig. 35), so that the pollen chamber really invests the upper end of the sac ("like the incurved bottom of a wine bottle"). The peripheral region of the nucellus, from the chalaza to the top of the embryo sac, is occupied by a remark- able "secretory zone," made up of thin, oblong, tabular cells, and representing what Oliver regards as the retention of a feature present.
