Abstract

In studying Vallisneria spiralis abnormal ovules were often noted. The most frequent abnormality is the occurrence of symmetrical double or paired ovules. Upon a common funiculus are borne two nucelli each possessing an inner integument, the whole enclosed by a single outer integument (Figs. 1, 2, 3). Malformations occur rarely and most of them are sterile. In Fig. 7 is shown an ovule having normal integuments with some suggestion of doubling in the nucellus but with plain dominance by the functional or larger part.
