Hofmeister, Zur linlwicklungsgeschichte der Zostera, in Botanische Zeilung, x 1,1852), p. 121. 262 ORGANS IN EMBRYO OF PTERIDOPHYTA AND SPERMOPHYTA embryo of Zostera, interpreted the embryo somewhat differently. What we callthe shield-like outgrowth of the hypocotyl he considered the axis of the embryoof the first order. In this no one now will follow him, but it is much to bewished that one of the modern microtomists would follow accurately the develop-ment of the embryo of Zostera ^ In Hofmeisters Fig. 28,
