After a f3W additional days the ill-defined zone of cells becomes distinct, and although it does not extend across the whole width of the petiole, and although the cells are of a green colour from contain- ing chlorophyll, yet they certainly constitute a pulvinus, which, as -we shall presently see, acts as one. These small cells were arranged in longitudinal rows, and varied from 4 to 7 in number; and the cells themselves varied in length in different jarts of the 9.
