The processes visible on the anticous face of the stigma 
are certainly portions of the lamina forming the base of the 
labellum, cohering firmly to the stigma, hence the stigma із, 
as it were pushed out into the 2 glands visible at the base of 
each process of the rostellum. It is in fact actually separa- 
ble by dissection. i
