Rostellum and its gland. The anther preserved its usual 
form and the pollinia were perfectly developed. The back of 
the column was separated, and totally distinct proving it 
to be the filament. The stigma lined the whole cavity in 
which in the normal forms the cells of the anther are im- 
mersed. The stigmatic canal was fully developed and com- 
municated freely with the ovarial cavity. Thus instead of the 
stigma being anticous, it was in the bud at least, posticous.
