dusium to the stigma, and which exists in a remarkable degree 
` in the sect. Brunoniée. Upon the nature of the indusium of the 
stigma, Mr. Brown makes the following remarks :—“ Is this 
remarkable covering of the stigma merely a process of the apex 
of the style? or is it a part of distinct origin, though intimately 
cohering with the pistillum ? On the latter supposition, may it 
not be considered as analogous to the glandular disk, surround- 
ing or crowning the ovarium in many other families? And in 
adopting the hypothesis I have formerly advanced, respecting 
the nature of this disk in certain families—merely that it is com- 
posed of a series of modified stamina—has not the part in ques- 
tion a considerable resemblance, in apparent origin and division, 
to the stamina of the nearly-related family Stylidee? To render 
this supposition somewhat less paradoxical, let the comparison 
be made especially between the indusium of Brundnia and the 
imperfect anthers in the female flowers of Forstéra. Lastly, 
connected with this view, it becomes of importance to ascertain 
whether the stamina in Stylédee are opposite to the segments of 
the calyx or corolla. The latter disposition would be in favour 
of the hypothesis. This, however, is a point which will not be 
very easily determined, the stamina being lateral. In the mean- 
time, the existence and division of the corona faucis in Styli- 
dium render it not altogether improbable that they are opposite 
to the segments of the corolla.” R. Br. in Lin. trans. 12.
