SPECIAL PART: THE CHLOROPHYLL APPARATUS. Aster spinosus; Baccharis emoryi. (Fig. i.)These plants inhabit the wash along- the river and the irrigating- andwayside ditches, where water is frequently to be found. Aster spinosus isan annual with perennial root; Baccharis emoryi is perennial. Both Asterand Baccharis are usually devoid of leaves, but the young- portions at leastare supplied with rudimentary Fig. I.—Baccharis emoryi: A., segment from transverse section of youngstem to show the character of cortical chlorophyll band {ch. b.); i>, sec-tion of leaf, magnified as in A.^ Chlorophyll of the stem is confined to the cortex in both species and inboth the chlorenchyma is palisade. The palisade in the stems of each alsoclosely resembles that in the rudimentary leaves of the same species.
