Fruit with appendage at the base. In T. XIII, l e Serie of 

 this publication, a similar case was described, but the speci- 

 men in question differs in two points from the former, 1° by 

 its curled shape, 2° by the absence of seeds.

Habitat Cape of Good Hope. 



A germinating plant of which the cotyledons have perished 

 shows coalescence of the first two foliage- leaves along their 

 midribs, thus constituting a four- winged whole that encloses 

 the plumule (fig. 22). The case tallies exactly with a specimen 

 of Jussiaea described and illustrated in this publication a few 

 years back '). In Jussiaea, however, a branchlet springs from 

 the axil of one of the cotyles. Whether in our Lobelia the 

 plumule would have developed or a lateral bud grown out 

 must be left undecided.
