If propagules had appendages such as papery wings that were readily separable from the body of the organ, these were not included in measurements.
Subsequently, the endosperm decreased due to its consumption by the growing embryo until a papery thin and transparent layer remained.
The seed coat is a thin, papery layer and can hardly impose any constraints on seed germination.
The seeds are partially covered by papery, slightly oily, red aril.
Fruits may persist on vines for up to 18 months at which time the ovary is reduced to a papery brown hull with seeds rattling about inside.
In bolls examined three weeks after inoculation these conditions were intensified, the locks being totally stained and the lint reduced to a papery membrane closely adpressed to the seeds.
Inside are many thin papery oblong shaped seeds around 12 mm long.
Flowers age in colour from creamy white, aging to pink and by autumn and winter are a dry, papery rusty-brown.
