• "Phyllanthus, the carpella of which are ovuliferous below, the upper part being fleshy, the stigmata are two to each, obviously corresponding to the placentary inflexions, while the sinus terminating the dorsal suture is totally naked; it is this which should bear the stigma if Lindley's view were correct."
• "Here the petals were increased in number and variously modified, the stamens also; while in the centre and at the top of the flower, conjoined at the base with some imperfect stamens, was a carpel open along its ovuliferous margins."
• "But as leaves produce other leaves, from their edges or their surfaces, and as they form buds in the same situations, just as axial organs do, [561] there is surely little ground for considering the placentas, or ovuliferous portions of the plant, to be of necessity axial."
