Between the two systems of veins there lies a hymenium consisting of parallel paraphyses and asci arranged in a regular palisade with tips directed toward the venae externae. Ontogenetically the venae internae are only the folded parts of the wall of the hollow sphere of the fructifica- tion, such as we have come to know in Hydnotrya, while the venae externae form the originally looser, later pseudoparenchymatous tissue which. â 'ti^'^fi;"^^ â rwf-y-is' '*'â â ;* Fig. 238.âPseudobahamia magnata. Median section of fructification. (X6; after E. Fischer, 1908.) has arisen by the growth of the paraphyses and secondarily has filled the hollow passages in the interior of the fructification. By these venae externae the fructifications of Pachyphloeus, in contrast to those of Hydnotrya, form a compact mass, though ontogenetically heterogeneous, such as we usually meet in Tuber. Apparently in Tuber, the fructifications, as in Hydnotrya and possibly in the above genera, are formed gymnocarpously (Bucholtz, 1897, 1903). Thus, Fig. 239, 3 shows the stage of mm. cross section; a flat shell on whose interior project several tramal plates, venae internae. This flat shell is sometimes called ground plate. Apparently it corresponds to the hypothecium of apothecia but is histologically more differentiated and is pen
