jai this it is evident that the three additional coste 
. do not exist in the young ovarium, that the labellum in its 
younger stages is like the lateral petals, that the’ perfect 
anther or that of the outer series is formed uem it remains 
to be seen therefore which stigma appears firs 
Consequently as regards the labellum, those De are 
to be regarded as the least perfect in which this body is the 
least irregular.]

sents some analogy with Apocyneous stigmata, but the 
whole surface is secreting. The ring a, at the base, is latest 
formed, and is the most stigmatic. The vascularity of the 
style is obscure and limited. The stigmata are quite cellular.

oblong stamina slightly curved inwards and excepting the . 
margin, presenting a somewhat opaque turgidity, which dis- 
appears on slight pressure. No trace of quadrilocularity 
exists or even bilocularity. The tissue is continuous since 
nothing escapes upon pressure.
