Fig. 3, a diagram of their mode of imbrication. Fig. 4, the corolla in bud. Fig. 5, the same 
expanded, showing the folded segments with dextrorse convolution. Fig. 6, the same cut open, 
showing the mode of their inflexion in the bud. Fig. 7, the corolla cut open, to show the position of 
the stamens cohering in a cone. Fig. 8, a stamen separated : all natural size. Fig. 9, a stamen, seen 
before and behind, magnified. Fig. 10, the two divergent follicles of Anisolobus hebecarpus, copied 
from Miiller. Fig. 11, a seed rostrate at the apex, with a long apical coma: both natural size. 
Prate XXVII. 
A. Angadenia Sprucei, portion of a plant in flower. Fig. 1, the calyx. Fig. 2 shows the quincuncial 
imbrication of the sepals. Fig. 3, the corolla in bud. Fig.4, the same expanded. Fig. 5, the same 
cut open, showing the simple dextrorse convolution of the segments. Fig. 6, a stamen: all natural 
size. Fig. 7, a stamen, seen on its inner face. Fig. 8, the same, on its outer face. Fig. 9, the 
filament: all magnified. Fig. 10, the calyx, with its sepals thrown back to show the disk, style, 
and clavuncle, natural size. Fig. 11, the tubular disk, denticulate on its margin, nearly concealing 
the two ovaries, much magnified. 
B. Angadenia pruinosa, portion of a plant in fruit. Fig. 1, a section of the follicle, replete with seeds. 
Fig. 2, a seed with its erect coma: both natural size. 
Pratz XXVIII. 
Perictenia stipellaris, a branch in flower, showing the peculiar row of stipules at each node. Fig. l,a 
flower in bud, Fig. 2, the corolla in bud. Fig. 3, the same, cut open to show the singular manner 
of introflexion of its long linear segments with sinistrorse convolution, and the position of the 
stamens near the base of the tube. Fig. 4, the same with the segments expanded. Fig. 5, a 
stamen: all natural size. Fig. 6, a stamen, seen before and behind, magnified. Fig. 7, the calyx, 
pedicel, and basal bracts, the style and clavuncle, somewhat magnified. Fig. 8, the same with the 
sepals thrown back, to show the inner scales, the 5-cleft disk, the ovaries, short style, and clavuncle, 
more magnified. Fig. 9, a diagram to show the quincuncial imbrication of the sepals. 
Prats XXIX. 
Echites convolvulacea, portion of a plant in flower, together with a drawing of the ee Fiir toe 
calyx. Fig. 2, the corolla in bud. Fig.3, the same with the border expanded. Fig.4, the same cut 
open, showing the sinistrorse convolution of the segments and the position of the stamens. ^ dd 
stamen: all natural size. Vig. 6, a stamen, seen before and behind, magnified. Fig. 7, the calyx, 
with the sepals thrown back to show the inner scales, the disk, ovaries, style, and clavanele, natural 
size. Fig. 8, the same parts, magnified. Fig. 9, the two follicles. Fig. 10, a seed with its apical 
coma: both natural size. 2
