Alabast. 44 lines long, a stamen, 4 do. subjected to

Bad 6} lines long, a long section of anther one cell 
empty, the other filled with the grumous mass, ó por- 
tion of this ṣọ cells towards the peripheris commenc- 
ing to be distinct, c ovule, it has already commenced to 
turn on its axis, the annuli are distinct, d same under 
pressure shewing that there is no distinction of coats 
as yet. 
Bad, 8-8} lines long, a portion of formative mass, cells 
now distinct and easily separable. They are curiously 
marked and occasionally look as if ternarily divided, 
but this may arise from the posu of the longi- 
tudinal folds, 5 two cells separated 1, c, e, c ovula, 4 
same submitted to pressure, shewing that the coats 
have been developed by the growth ot the annuli. 
The actual period of separation of the cells of pollen 
from the parent cell remains to be proved or rather shewn.

| very curious, but is ER: on other grounds than those
