RUDIMENTARY FLOWERS. :
Interesting Facts Concerning the Cyca-
dRceous Plants.

Interesting Facts Concerning the Cyca-
daceous Plants.
These plants possess q special inter
est, inasmuch as they present us with
what is one of the earliest and most
documentary kind. of flower Like I'LL
the lower kinds of Towering plants
they bear two sorts, the so-called male
and female flowers. Now when one of
these flowers are examined, says Bong
mans Magazine, one might well feel
surprised, if unprcpared for what pre-
sents itself. Both kinds are, as might
be expected, of the simplest form, the
male flower consisting merely of sta
mems bearing pollen sacs.
When one of these stamens is in
spected 1T is Sc en- to be but an ordinary
leaf modified; nay, more, the pollen
sacs (born on the back surface like the
"fern seed' on the fern leaf are obvi-
ously but the little spore cases of the
cryptogams; yet, further, we open one of
them, and the pollen grains themselves
proves to be but the little spores
of the lower plants. The whole flower
is, in fact, nothing but the modified
spore-bearing leaf of the higher cryptic
grams. The female flowers on close
examination prove similarly to be but
spore-bearing leaves also modified,
though IN o. different direction. What,
then, has happened? Very little, in
point of fact, though much in point of
significance. The spore which pro-
duced the little plant requiring fer
tilization (Which latter we observed
growing smaller and smaller) simply
now no longer falls off, but remains at
tached to the parent leaf and awaits
the pollen that is carried to it by the
wind; all that previously took place in
the marsh below now takes place in
stu in the production of the seed. That
is the whole plan in brief.
The great end which nature accom-
plished when she evolved the first
flowers was simply to enable cross-fer-
tilization to take place without the aid
of water. This was the feat which
revolutionized the vegetable world.
The Towering plants were at last and
henceforth Independent of aquatic con-
ditions; they took full possession of the
land, and the other forms, dependent
on water for fertilization, began slowly
but surely to give way before them.
