Dr Alex Braun says that as several leguminosæ bear subterranean fruit different from that in the air, so it is with a Convolvulacean plant, the flowers of which are very different those which bury themselves. In some cases there is Dimorphism in the fruit alone as in the Æthionema heterocarpum which in the same raceme bears [insertion:] Keep

partly dehiscent silicles with 2 cells & several seeds, & partly one-celled & one-seeded indehiscent silicles. A fumariaceous genus, Ceratocapnos bears in the lower part of the spike, "oval, ribbed, one-seeded nutlets; & in the upper part of the spike, lanceolate, two-valved & two-seeds siliques. In the compositæ there is much polymorphism of flowers & fruit, thus in Calendula, the hermaphrodite florets of the ray produce 3 diff forms of fruit, so that including the male flowers of the disk, the Capitulum presents 4 different forms of flowers.
