Description
English: Drawing of a seed of pansy (Viola tricolor) cut vertically: the embryo pl is axial, in the midst of fleshy endosperm al. The seed is anatropal, and the embryo is homotropal; the cotyledons co point to the base of the nucellus or chalaza ch, while the radicle, or the other extremity of the embryo, points to the micropyle, close to the hilum h. The hilum or base of the seed, and the chalaza or base of the nucellus are united by means of the raphe r. The position of the labels and their connection to the drawing was apparently garbled and missing, and I corrected/repaired these using information from the other figures and apparent positions and traces of connecting lines.
