PISTILLUM. Š 83 
Dotted line c, represents separation of style and stigmatic 
surfaces ; continuation with stigmatic canal distinct. 
In Aplodit, the stigmata cohere intimately ; they do not 
appear ever to become separate, the line of sphacelation, 
consequent on fecundation, is confined to a line along the 
centre of the otherwise hispid style, a proof that the stig- 
mata are confined to the inner surface and e^ m of the 
lobes of the style. 
Labiata, (found near Futtyghur.) No suleus occurs, but 
a linear lanceolate stigmatic surface, is produced into a 
point beyond the style and its vessel, and communicating 
inwardly with the stigmatic canal. Style anteriorly with 
a cellular ridge at the base, and a tendency to swelling all 
round ; raphe external. Pl. 33.—Fig. 2, a, 5. 
In Daucus Carota ? the styles are two, simple cellular, 
with a considerable conducting canal, which expands above 
into a capitate truly terminal stigma. Pl. 33—Fig. 9. a. b. 
The gland is so intimately united with the style, or rather 
its structure passes so much into it, that taking this in con- 
nection with the variation of size in the glands of Callipeltis, 
I shall not be surprised if these, and some other epigynous 
glands prove to be dilatations of the style; early anatomy 
alone will put this beyond a doubt. 
Nerium Oleander: quadruple corolla, each petal of each 
series having a corona, outermost petals smallest, innermost 
obviously modified stamina, the middle being prolonged 
into a hairy filiform process like that of the filament. The 
processes of the corona in the outermost series are developed 
from the sinuses of the petals, but in a less — than 
from their faces. 
Pistillum developed into stamina.—How are such instances 
to be explained? they shew the intimate relation between 
petals and stamina, the number of additional series ought to 
have some relation with the glands, Between the mature 
stigma and that of Asclepiadee, there is a considerable deal 
in common, and perhaps apocyneous stigmata may be consi- 
dered as in some degree bearing on my explanation of an 
asclepiadeous one. In Nerium Oleander, although the
