ADDITIONAL NOTE—ZGINETIA, 253 
We must therefore allow that the styles of this plant are 
laminar, and that the laminz are folded inwards, the stigmatic 
surfaces occupying the lamine, with the exception of the 
space left by the incurvation. 
The venation shews that these stigmata are analogous to 
other dilated ones. The posterior dorsal vessel appears to 
be wanting from having branched off, the vessels on a trans- 
verse section having an oblique appearance. What can be 
the use of this extension of stigmatic surface leading no 
where ? for the incurved cavities have no communication with 
the stigmatic canal, except upwards. It is curious that the 
chief stigmatic action was in one case confined to the lower 
part of the stigma. 
The only communication with this canal, takes place be- 
tween the lobes. 
This therefore would lead me to infer, that the real stigmata 
are, as I previously supposed, and that the lobes are com- 
pound, which will account for the want of a dorsal vein, and 
also for the cavities not leading anywhere. 
d.—Apparent stigma, but not the true one. 
[In ZEciNETIA, PLATE 62, Fic. 1, the stigmatic surface 
lines all the dilated fungiform apex of the style. Leading 
into the open canal it is velvety, the posterior stigma is the 
smaller: there is scarcely any tendency to cohesion between 
the two stigmata, but the posterior and larger one has a ten- 
dency to be lobed. 
The anthers are very hus ; and very much developed at an 
early period : although bilocular, they are not of the usual qua- 
drilocular type. The upper pair have instead of the other 
cell which they ought to have, a large fleshy process, some- 
what divaricating ; the lower have none. 
The young anthers are perhaps a little unilateral, which 
would also appear to shew that they are quadrilateral ? 
The upper loculus of each is abortive. 
The irregularity commences when the corolla is 13 to 2 lines 
long, at which time the imbrication is very evident, the corolla 
at this time does not half fill the cavity of the calyx in
