372 FERTILISATION OF THE GOODENIACEJi, 



style and indusium is closely — very closely — boxed up between, 

 the auricles, and the line of junction covered by a closely pressed 

 clothing of hairs. It is possible that the trichomes on the 

 posterior margins of the auricles of D. stricta, D. eriocephala, and 

 D. lanceolata subserve the same purpose. At any rate, I think 

 that the hairy styles occurring in flowers which are open to rain, 

 etc., and the glabrous ones in those which are perfectly protected, 

 is somethino- more than a coincidence.
