RHIZOPHORA. 667 
- The stamina appear as of the innermost ledalins was 
much the smaller. 
lf the above sections be compared, it will be seen that the 
line of attachment of the ovula remains throughout nearly 
the same, and that the principal changes consist in the 
elongation of the so called tube of the calyx which is obvi- 
ously nothing but pedicel. 
In R. conjugata the slight inferiority of the cells, if at all 
is perhaps more evident. In both what is sufficiently re- 
markable the epigynous or rather hypogynous disk is an 
evident extension of the ovaria tissues. 
In both the appearances of inferiority are heightened by 
the disappearance of the lax tissue of the apex of the pe- 
dicel, by which a cavity for the most part inferiur may be 
obviously formed. 
Another circumstance, to be borne in mind, is the pre- 
Cise line of discretion of the sepals, for the two do not cor- 
E Tespond, if this be taken from the outer edge, the cells 
are not inferior at all, if from the inner they are slightly. 
- The phenomena are included in an elongation of the pe- 
dicel, by which the calyx appears furnished with a tube, and 
by the development of a glandular disc from around the base 
of the ovary, by which the petals and stamens are elevated 
above the original common line of attachment. 
In this instance there is nothing to warrant the adhesion 
Of the calyx to the ovarium, the parts always maintaining 
their original correspondence.
