or partly so (fig. 44) ; in the latter case in such a way that 

 only the upper half is folded up and seemingly springs from 

 the back of the blade. This case strongly calls to mind the 

 formation of cups in the terminal leaflet of Irifolium repens, 

 though the numerous intermediate forms observed there seem 

 not to occur on strawberries. Fig. 45 shows a cup under the 

 three leaflets, flg. 46 an additional leaflet at the base of the 

 terminal pitcher. 



Pknzig I, p. B40 mentions that Dutailly records cupshaped 

 leaflets in Fragaria vesca and p. 429 foliaceous appendages 

 under the three normal foliola of Fr. colliiia Ehrh.

The thalamus is not urceolate but lengthened out and con- 

 sisting of distinct internodes. The five sepals have the shape 

 of ordinary leaves. The lowest is solitary, then follow 2^/2 mM. 

 higher up the other four sepals at distances hardly perceptible. 

 The highest sepal consists of nothing but two well developed 

 stipules and with its midrib the only petal coalesces at right 

 angles. As these two (sepal and petal) are pressed against one 

 side of the thalamus, there is no room here for stamens and 

 pistils. These organs are consequently to be found only on the 

 other side above sepals 2 — 4.

The leaflets, -which according to Miquel are „alterna vel sub- 

 opposita", show an abnormal arrangement as is to be seen in 

 the figure (47), viz. two leaflets springing from the same point 

 opposite the lowest left one; there is nothing opposite the 

 second left one, then follow two pairs of opposite folioles and 

 finally the terminal leaflet.
