Oblongate

Stamens five; filaments linear, flat, attached on the outer side of the hypogynous disc; anthers 1.4 mm long and 0.45 mm wide, splitting up to one-half; appendage pointed, 0.25 mm long; hypogynous disc cup-shaped, lobes oblongate, strongly thickened, blunt.

Canavalia rosea is a trailing or prostrate herb with trifoliate leaves of oblongate to orbicular leaflets and with pink flowers (Fig. 23) (Beadle et al. 1962).

This is an oblongate light material covered on one side by bony-sheath, compactly filled with smooth-white material which can be scratched by nails.

Fruit very small, the least of all the varieties, a little more long than broad, having a very conspicuous deeply marked suture, extending to the apex, on one side of which it oblongates into a very small acute nipple.

As a matter of fact the medulla which is the part of the hind brain oblongates out of the skull cavity as a long and thick tail or cord which, again terminates into a thin filament.

In the first three suppositions which illustrate the occlusion of the calibre of the intestine, it is conceivable that the sudden constriction of the abdominal walls might cause them to act vicariously for the probably paralyzed intestinal walls, and by moulding and oblongating the fæcal mass, displace it and restore peristalsis; or it may urge on the concretion to the sphincter; or excite the outside body through the valve, whence, of course, if it has already traversed the ileum, its way onward and out would be easy.
