e rudiments are convolute, they have one vascular fas- 
cicle (spiral vessels and ducts,) which towards their apices are 
much increased in number. 
The third sepal is posticous or next the axis. 
The glands are probably representatives of petals, the in- 
ner series of which are therefore transformed, the alternation 
of parts is throughout natural.
