EXPLANATION OF THE ILLUSTRATION 
Goopyera pusBescens /?. Brown. Above, a forcibly in- 
verted raceme (slightly enlarged) in which the 
flowers have retained their primitive position with 
the dorsal sepal adjacent to the subtending floral 
bract. The ovaries have developed at right angles 
to the rachis. This condition should be compared 
with the obliquity of the ovaries in a normal ra- 
ceme. (cf. plate of Goodyera pubescens on p. 151) 
Below, a portion of the raceme enlarged about 
three times natural size.
