glands having nothing whatever to do with them. In such 
a case we have a deficient outer series of stamina: a com- 
plete intermediate one, and an abortive inner one represented 
by glands; all these parts having the regular alternation. 
The greatest anomaly is presented by the pistillum, the ovary 
being bilocular, the cells right and left, thé placente being 
parietal and anticous, and posticous, mutually connected with 
the interposition of a cellular plate. But the stigmata are 
opposite.the placenta, or anticous and posticous. I think how- 
ever that there are indications of the quaternary compbsition 
of the style and stigmata, which last are opposite ‘the sepals 
as they should be. Ifthis be found to be true, then Mr. 
Lindley’s opinion that the carpella are 4, 2 barren, 2 
placentiferous anticous and posticous, and the formation will 
be complete.
