The fruit (fig. 387-388) is a vescicular capsule, recalling that of Cardiospermump^(i three cells, dehiscent by longitudinal dorsal clefts, are blended above and some- times below. The exarillate seeds (fig. 389, 390) contain a fleshy embryo, with large cotyledons rolled in a spiral form. Stocksta, a small shrub from the mountains of Beloochistan, is very different in aspect, although it has the flowers organised very nearly the same,.
