STIGMA. 79 
marginal, not produced beyond lamina, one dorsal, terminat- 
ing just below the oblique stigmatic surface. 
It is curious that the most convex oblique edge of the 
ovary is occupied by the placenta, which is certainly not 
usually the case, and the highest point of the style is also 
opposite the ventral suture, whereas generally it is opposite 
the dorsal. Pl. 29—Fig. 5. a, Branches not ovuligerous. 
In Celsia coromandeliana, the lamina of the leaf is very 
vascular, anastomosi retiformis. T'wo stylar vessels as usual 
clavate, terminating higher up than usual. 
olygonum aviculare, (Trigynia,) presents three very faint 
ovarial, and styloid vessels. 
Clerodendrum. The style is 2-lobed, stigmata lanceolate 
marginate on the lower half of the style's lobe; above conflu- 
ent, occupying the whole inner face of the lobe, all stigmatic ; 
vessels of the style 2, terminal linear, and within the end of 
the style itself, MA of ovarium vascular anastomosis, style 
2 vessels. Pl. 30—Fig. 5, a. etc. 
In Carissa wiry the stigma is spread over the whole 
surface of the style below the apiculus, originally bilinear, 
marginate, incomplete above, this is traceable, but obscurely: 
vessels two, terminating just below the apiculus. Pl. 33.— .

In Agati: the stigma is clavate and strictly terminal, 
although a slight obliquity may still be observed towards the 
ventral suture. 
The style is very vascular, consisting of three stout bund- 
les, the dorsal is a little longer than the ventral side ; the stig- 
matic canal is large. Pl. 33—Fig. 16, a. lateral 5, back 
- view. 
In Capparis : the stigmatic surfaces are united ina truncate 
mass, terminating the style, and perforated in the middle by 
the stigmatic canal. The carpellary leaves are very veiny, 
and anastomose ; the principal axis terminating at the end of 
the lamina ; earlier, there are as many lobes as there are car- 
pellary divisions : 1 dorsal and 2 marginal, very anastomose. 
Pierardia. Has very unequal stigmata, the posterior 
being as usual in the order, several times smaller ; the
