Abstract
SOME recent morphological interpretations of the angiospermic gyncecium deny or greatly modify the classical interpretation that the carpel is a modified fertile leaf. In the ontogeny of the legume of two species of Acacia, I have found evidence that is contrary to these new interpretations, and is favourable to the classical interpretation. A preliminary from oetal insertion upwards. note on the subject is appearing in the current Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales.
