CYRTOCLADON. 147 
Stylis elongatis filiformis atro-purpureis. Stigma magnum 
fungoideum. sæpius ut videtur bilobum. Ovula solitaria, cellulis 
mucilaginis immersa, anatropa ; succedunt antherz numeros. 
The ovula are very singular, (Pl. CLXXIII. Fig. IV.) the 
cellular white part, is probably testa, the curved clavate 
mammellate apex, or stalked part is the nucleus. I rather 
think the loose tissue is the funiculate conducting ; the stout 
straight raphed base is the funicle; the inclined head of this 
is the ovule, and that this has 2 coats or rings, and a nucleus. 
(a right hand figure) the pore or rimule. 
Anthere magne biloculares, subsessiles apice rotundate, 
pressione angulatze loculo quoque rimula transversa infra арі-` 
cem dehiscen. ad centrum vertically viewed albo puuctulatis, 
loculis bilocellatis. (Pl. CLXXIII. Fig. IV.) Pollen large 
yellow globose and smooth, their outer coat З porous* ? inner 
crowded with granules. : 
It is a fetid remarkable looking plant; having the Raffle- 
siaceous putrid nauseous odor. The anther’s pale, the barren 
apex black purple. 
Amorphophallus Blume. 
A good deal like Arum campanulatum, but the barren apex 
of the spadix is of a different shape. I have only seen this 
after flowering.

lato tantum lamina lanceolata caudato-cuspidata, integra
