In i860, also, Caspary (8) con- firmed Braun's conclusion, citing specimens in which branches occurred in the axils of the bracts, and bore the two halves of the ovuliferous scale as lateral append- ages. In 1864 Parla- TORE recorded (12) a cone of Pinus Pinaster (P- Lemoniana) in which an ordinary dwarf shoot with its two needle leaves sprang from the axil of every alternate bract, replacing the ovuliferous scale. His conclusions naturally accorded with those of Fig. 272.—Araucaria excelsa: ovulate cone from a tree in the plaza at Jalapa, Mexico; one-half natural 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 Coulter, John Merle, 1851-1928; Chamberlain, Charles Joseph, b. 1863; Coulter, John Merle, 1851-1928.
