The number of embryos also increases in proportion to capsule size (Fig. 3) ; it varies between 10 and 122. The intracapsular development of N. crassilabrum is of direct type. In viable embryos it follows the normal spiral pattern of cleavage. On the other hand, atypical cleavage is observed in non-viable nurse eggs which appear very variable in shape. The atypical development of these nurse eggs is finally arrested. The fertile larvae begin ingesting nurse eggs when they attain an early trochophore stage. By then, the mouth, esophagus and body expand to enclose entire nurse eggs as they are pushed down the digestive tract by the cilia lining it. The.
