no inner series of stamina.

Results. 
That the pistillum is at first a projection with a smooth 
surface: that it then becomes depressed along its posticous 
face. 
So the convolution appears subsequently! and is not an 
absolute primary process. 
ie inner row of stamina makes its appearance long after 
the puncte of the other parts of ditto. 
That the tube of the calyx is a late development. 
That the sepal and petals are-ab initio, regular. .
