Excerpt from Introduction to the Systematy of Indian Trees The most characteristic feature is intense insolation, which gives practically unlimited supplies of photosynthetic carbohydrate, in excess of the possible capacity for further proteid - synthesis, dependent in turn on the food-ions of the water-supply. \vaste polysaccharide is utilized in timber-production and xerophytic protective mechanism of sclerosed strands and layers, conspicuous also in massive capsules or sclerosed indehiscent fruits, as again in the production of starch or hydrocarbon fat and oil, giving enhanced possibilities of food-storage for embryos in germination, or again as the sugars and organic acids of large succulent fruits utilized for the dis persal of seeds by animal agency.
