ovary ; this however has most certainly only five cells with 

 two ovules in each. 



Fig. 1. represents the tube of the stamens in this plant, 

 and the club-shaped head of the style, with five stigmas pro- 

 jecting beyond it. The twenty awl-shaped reflexed teeth 

 which form a kind of coronet to this tube, stand in pairs 

 between the ten anthers, and are apparently lateral processes of 

 the stamens, one of each pair belonging to a different stamen. 



There is something very singular in the placentcBy which 

 are densely covered with entangled twisted jointed hairs, the 

 nature and use of which require further examination.
