same in the dry state with that of our WV. imperialis ; and the 
outer corolla is deeply toothed, as in our plant and WV. Vogeli. 
It is needless to express the views of the affinities of this 
plant as stated by various writers, Beauvois, Brown, De 
Candolle, Lindley, and, lastly, M. Planchon in the Icones Planta- 
rum, for they will be more fully given in the forthcoming “ Niger 
Flora.”

Fig. 1. Section of a portion of the flower, from which the calyx-lobes and the 
outer series of the corolla are removed. Judging from this section, what is in the 
generic character called the inner of three whorls or series of the corolla, might 
rather be considered a second and outer series of filaments, which are abortive. 
According to this view, the corolla would be in a double series and the stamens 
in a double series.
