It may be one or mauy-cellod, and may discharge its seeds through chinks or pores, as in Ua Fia. 80.—LcRume ol. Fio. no.—Capsule of poppy.

Dehiscence by valves is locullcidal when the pod splits down the back of each cell; septicidal when the cells first sepai-ate from each other through their partitions and then open along their inner margin. The silique is the pod found in the cracifera;. It is divided into two colls by a false partition, and generally opens by two valves from below upward (Fig. i)l). The silicle is a short, broad silicj[ue, like that of the shepherd's piu' Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Johnson, Laurence, 1845-1893.
