That the stigma as the outer communication of the con- 
ducting tissue, cannot be shewn to be continuous with the 
placente. 
That the foetid smell is the last part developed, the colour 
the penultimate. 
That the stamenal cohesion i is a subsequent development. 
That the processes are due first and largest to the connec- 
tion of elongation, the second to an elongation and conni- 
vence of the upper part of the loculi, which subsequently 
become effete. 
That the perianth is quaternary two and two. 
The stamina quaternary two and two. 
That they are genuine stamina totally, not by any means 
adnate to any other ergan, as Endlicher would have it. 
That the placentz are not alternate with the sutural lines. 
That parietal placente in all cases run longitudinally as 
regards the carpel leaf, that here they are round its base ! 
That there is a slit for the emission of the plumula. 
That the sum of the characters is nearer Aroidez, than 
any others.
