Excerpt from The Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales, for the Year 1922, Vol. 47 I have also paid some attention to the embryonic cotyledons and their manner of growth, with a view to ascertaining whether certain characters were sufficiently constant for taxonomic purposes. I find that in the various sections of Loranthus there is, in some species, a corresponding similarity in the, structure of the embryo and its mode of growth and differential development, which, taken in conjunction with other characters, is to some extent helpful in their separation and classification.
