This, unlike that of the Ilasels, persisting and growing beside the fruit, does not completely envelope it and remains foliaceous, rigid, trilobed^ (fig. 179, 180). The ovary, surmounted by a small dentate calyx and a style similar to that of the Nuts, has the same organization and is finally divided into two cells by two placentae at first parietal, each also bearing one or two ' The SQinmit is ordinarily surmounted by a tuft of hairs.
