The shaded zone in vi. is the result of intercalary growth originating at the dotted line in v. (hi.). By their formation the hollow is narrowed, and presently from its shoulders two other upgrowths are formed. These are the carpels (iv.). Meanwhile two small outgrowths may be seen at the outside, which previously was smooth. These are two teeth representing the reduced calyx, which thus appears delayed out of the normal succession. The carpels are in contact above and enclose a cavity, which is the ovarian cavity, and the organic apex of the'flower lies at the bottom of it (v.). It is here that the single ovule arises (vi.), and thus the ovary containing it lies apparently below the other parts. ItVdescribed as inferior, and the flower as epigynons.
