This illustration shows the structure of dicotyledonous seeds: A, nearly mature seed of Lepidium. The embryo consists of the hypocotyl, hy, ending below in the root, r, and the root cap and above the epicotly, pl. Two cotyledons, c; arise laterall from the stem; f, funiculus; mi, micropyle; in, integuments, en, remains of endosperm. B, section of seed of water lily-e, embryo with two cotyledons attached laterally to the minute stem of the embryo and surrounded by a layer of endosperm cells; mg, sporangial cells or perisperm; i, integument.
