Suppose numerous' cells like those of ¥ig. 437 to be heaped up Uke a pile of cannon-balls, and as they grew, to be compacted together while soft and yielding; they would flatten where they touched, and each sphere, being touched by twelve surrounding ones would become twelve-sided.

Eoots, stems, leaves, and the whole of phan- erogamous plants are a fabric of countless num- bers of such cells. No such exact regularity in size and shape is ever actually found; but a nearly truthful magnified view of a small portion of a slice of the flower-stalk of a Calla Lily (Fig. 440) shows a fairly oorres-. 430.
