IN FUCHSIA GLOBOSA. 433 
I saw them large and persistent for a long time in some poor 
specimens which passed the very severe winter of 1887-88 in 
a greenhouse. It would seem that the temperature has some- 
thing to do with their persistency.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES. 
Prater LVII. 
Various forms of additional parts on the edge of the calyx-tube of a 
double flower of Fuchsia. a!, a?, thread-like; b, petal-like ; c, inter- 
mediate. 
An additional petal, lobed, with thickened midrib, 
. Filiform part coalesced with a stamen. 
5. See Plate LVIII. 
. Petal, with thickened midrib and indication of a cupped condition. 
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Petals in which the thickened midrib gradually 
passes into a stamen ; and the development of the cup-shaped form 
shows various degrees of completeness. Fig. 10, x2. At the inner side 
is a thickening which resembles an anther. 
. Slightly magnified. A petal with a stamen and a petaloid appendage. 
17, 18, 19, 20. Various stages of coalescence of the petal with the anti- 
petalous stamen. In fig. 20 the petal is cup-shaped. 
. A petal with antipetalous stamen in normal condition, 
. See Plate LVIII. 
. Stamens of which the anther-cells are slightly separated by a lengthened 
connective. 
26. Anther with filiform appendages. The front, represented in fig. 23, 
shows the anther-cells separated by an excrescence resembling an 
anther. 
- Connective, elongated and curved. 
- Elongated connective. 
. Stamen, petaloid on one side (front and back view). 
. See Plate LX. 
29. See Plate LVIII. 
31. See Plate LX. 
2. Style, flattened and contorted. 
Prate LVIII. 
A clawed petal. From the inner side of the lamina spring two stamens 
and a petaloid appendage. The two edges of this appendage and the 
left margin of the petal are like the wall of an anther-cell. 
(After Buchenau). Monstrous flower, with two foliaceous sepals, 
which are placed beneath the ovary. From the axil of each springs 
a stamen ; on both sides of each sepal is inserted a stipule. The two 
other sepals are normal. Antisepalous stamens: two displaced like 
the two green sepals, one half-sepaloid, one half-petaloid, the fourth 
somewhat petal-like. Antisepalous stamens: three normal, one 
sterile.
