Y(ju will find that the Bced almost entirely fills the cavity. (Figs, li and ir>.) This seed consists mainly of a hard substance y called «//>/^mr;/, enclosed in a thin covering. At n/o. It is this which develops into a new plant when the seed germi- nates. 13. Wc have seen then that our plant consists of several parts: (1). The Root. This ])enetrates the soil, avoiding the light. It is nearly white, is made up of iibres, from which numbers of muoli iiner fibres are given off, and is entirely destitute of and leaves. (2). The Stem. This grows upward, is coloured, bears foliage-leaves at intervals, gives off branches from tlie axils of these, .'ind bears flowers at its upper end. (8). The Leaves. These are of two sorts : Fo/m^^- Icat'cs Mild Flower-leaves. The former are sub divided into radical and caullne, and the latter make up the llviwor, the parts of which are four in number, viz.: calyx corolla, stamens, and pistil. It is of great importance that you should make your- selves thoroughly familiar with the different parts of the plant, .as just described, before going further, and to that end it will be desirable for you to review the pre- sent chapter carefully, giving special attention to those.
