82 DEVELOPMENT OF THE FLOWER. 
Ovarial vessels 3, 1 dorsal, 2 marginal, subequal, clavated 
subconnivent at the points. Raphe next the ventral suture.

Lotoides (found near Anopshelun): presents an instance of 
a terminal stigma to a simple style, the style is very hairy, and 
below the stigma, which is laxly cellular, oblong ; the hair sur- 
rounds it like a cup. Pl. 34.—Fig. 2. a, b. Primary ovarial 
vessels 3, 1 dorsal, 2 marginal, these last are continued a long 
way up the style; sides with anastomosing veins ; principally, 
if not entirely, from the marginal veins. The ventral margin 
is most convex, ovules 2, from nearly the same point. 
Potentilla, presents, the common sub-apetalous prostrate 
one. Ovarium b, e, very gibbous: the gibbosity occurs along 
the dorsum; style very laxly organised, not much more so 
than that of mosses: stigmatic canal very large, yellowish. 
No dorsal vein, two marginal ones, which do not enter the 
style. Pl. 34.—Fig. 3. a, b, c, d. 
Lithospermum, presents no distinction of dorsal and ven- 
tral stigmata. Pl. 34.—Fig. 5. c, situation of nucleus; d, 
two stigmatic canals; b, outer view of stigma; e, inner view, 
and a, outer view of the young ditto. 
Composita Echinopsidea, capitulis rubris, Styles united, 
except at the apex, covered with beautiful rosy papille, 
larger toward the base, vessels 2, terminating just within 
apex. Stigmata minutely and densely papillose covering 
the margin, and concavish inner face of the lobes of the 
style. Pl. 33—Fig. 6. b, lateral, and e, dorsal view. The 
papille of the style do not seem to excite the pollen tubes ; 
see A, in contradistinction to B, in which boyaux are 
emitted. (Species from Futtyghur.) 
Acanthacea, (Ruellioid. Also from Futtyghur.) 
In this the lobes are very unequal; both are evidently 
lined by a marginal stigmatic surface produced beyond the 
apex, at least in the lower lip, and united on the middle line, 
along which they form a cellular crest. Pressure separates 
the two lower lips, the vessels are 2, both ceasing within the 
apex of either lobe, the ovarial vessels are about/5, but the 
central one alone is prolonged into the’style. Pl. 33—Fig. 8.
