ternal part of the flower consists of stamens converted into — 
small petals as in the anemony-flowered, but the outer 
broad petals are more numerous. The pistillum seemed — 
to be perfect, with its style and stigma, though scarcely 
protruded beyond the central petals. Communicated in 
January last, by Messrs. Caanpier and Buckinenam. ¥§
