They contained aggregated masses which slowly changed their form - Irrigated with C of Ammonia 2 gr to oz
The contents of the glands were not perceptibly altered by ammonia - But in the cells of the stalks numerous almost colourless spheres appeared after 1 1/4h which slowly coalesced with each other so as to give a totally different look to the cell
