Each has a free or nearly free filament and an introrse basifixed anther, whose two slightly lateral cells dehisce by a valve which afterwards spreads, remaining attached to the connective by its posterior edge.^ The fruit (fig. 278) is a slightly fleshy drupe,-^ surrounded by the floral receptacle, which is grooved longitudinally'' and adheres to its outside,' ' It has two coats, which long remain distinct in S. Vieillardii. 2 Tlxis anthrer is formed altogether on the same type aS in Illigera, and opens in the same way. The pollen grains too are globes, propor- tionally large in dianieter,and covered with conical papillae, which are here usually very acute. 8 The sarcocarp is, however, very distinct from the woody stone. * Usually by eight grooves separated by pro- jecting ribs. Both ribs and grooves are covered below with a layer of glandular tissue, which was more marked on the surface of the ovary. = Except at the apex, where the top of the pericarp is seen free from all adhesions, and apiculated by some remains of the hardened 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 Baillon, Henri Ernest, 1827-1895; Hartog, Marcus Manuel, 1851-.
