The inequality of the cotyledons is apparently connected withthe way in which they are packed in the seed. A compromise hasbeen made in them there between fleshiness for the storage of food,and surface for assimilation later, resulting in extension beyond thediameter of the seed and in a rolling of the embryo on itself whichplaces one cotyledon outside the other : and probably therefrom comestheir inequality; but why the inequality should be repeated in thewhorl which succeeds the cotyledons is not evident.
