Its qualities are wholesome and nutritious, even in poisonous plants Its quantity when compared with the embryo varies in every possible degree; being excessive (Ranunculace*), or about equal (Vio- laceae), or scanty (Oonvolvulaceae), or none at all (Legurainosse) In texture it is mealy in wheat, mucilaginous in mallows, oily in Ricinus horny m coffee, ruminated in nutmeg and pawpaw, ivory-like in the ivory-palm (Phytolephas), fibrous in cocoa-nut, where it is also hollow enclosing the milk. * 591. The embryo is an organized body, the rudiment of the future plant, consisting of root (radicle), stem-bud {plumule), and leaves (cotyledons). But these parts are sometimes quite undistinguishable until germination, as in the Orchis tribe. 692 The RADICLE is the descending part of the embryo, almost at ways directed towards the micropyle, the true axis of the seed 593. The plumule is the rudimentary ascending axis, the'terminal !>nd, locai-ea at the base of, or between 694. The cotyledons. These, the seed-lobes, are the bulky fari naceous part of the embryo, destined to form the first or seminal leaves.
