The deposition of reserve fat is studied in plants with a high, medium, or low lipid content, and is contrasted with the spherosomes of the same cells. In storage tissue with a high lipid content the reserve triglycerides have the form of comparatively large globules which are quite distinct from the spherosomes. In plants with a medium lipid content the reserve fat appears in the form of granules, globules, or oil‐plasm, and as a homogeneous, interstitial deposition between the protein bodies. Plants with a low lipid content contain a very large number of spherosomes and only very few small sudanophil globules. The spherosomes and the reserve fat represent distinctly separate entities.
