In the later stages of development, especially in man and the mammals generally, the name fetus commonly takes the place of embryo. In the cases of oviparous animals, the term embryo properly covers the whole course of development of the fecundated germ in the egg (which see, and see cut under dorsal ): as, the hen's egg contained an embryo ready to hatch. By a late and loose, though now common, extension of the term, it is applied to various larval stages of some invertebrates, which in the course of their transformation are frequently so different from the parent as to be described as distinct species or genera: as, the embryo (first larval stage) of a cestoid worm. The embryos of a man, dog, seal, bat, reptile, etc., can at first hardly be distinguished from each other. Darwin, Descent of Man, I. 31. 2. In bot., the rudimentary plant contained in the seed, the result of the action of pollen upon the ovule. It may be so rudimentary as to have app a rently no distinction of parts; but even in its simplest it consists virtually of a single internode of an axis, which upon germination develops at one extremity a leaf or leaves with a terminal bud, and a root at the other. In more developed embryos this initial internode or caulicle (often incorrectly called radicle ) bears at one end one, two, or more rudimentary leaves called cotyledons, and often an initial bud or plumule. Also called germ. By recent authors the term is also applied to the developed oöspore in vascular cryptogams. See cuts under albumen and cotyle don. 3.
