Chlorophyll becomes red or yellow by degradation * as in the bright yellow blossom of cucumbers and in ripening fruits.- In the case of falling leaves the colour is due to an absorption of the chlorophyll granules with the rest of the protoplasm and the appearance of a number of yellow granules. [...] the whole mass of the mother cell is coverted into new cells._ The former process is termed free cell formation and is generally connected with the reproduction of cryptogams but alio occurs in the formation of the embryo of phanerogauis and in it portions of the protoplasm and of the"THE CELL ITS NATURE. [...] In the cell-wall it is clear that the mycellm of different sustances are placed side by side and are separated from one another by the cell-sap which may be more or less abundant in the celwall and the more cell-sap is present the greater is the distance apart of the mycellce. [...] The total number of cells is the same in certain parts of the mature plant as in the germinating seed and this is generally the case with leaves which contain their full number of cells in the bud and merely expand in size after leaving it. [...] cannot attain the great height of others as the deodar pine and oak with =Wary or lateral inflorescence springing from the axils of their leaves which are the points of junction of the latter with the stem and its branches and not froth the terminal shoot.
