100 Mr. Rudge's Descriptions of some Species of Car ex. 



of specimens in different stages of growth prevented me from 

 giving the parts of fructification in a more early state ; and for 

 a complete and more satisfactory description we must depend on 

 those who may have an opportunity of examining them in a state 

 of cultivation. 



In the investigation of the natural character of this genus, it 

 appears that the true limits of the genus want to be more accu- 

 rately defined towards the completing a more perfect arrangement 

 of the known species, and I am disposed to entertain an opinion, 

 that the Androgynous species may with propriety be made a di- 

 stinct genus from those which have the male and female spikes 

 separate. 



N. B. In all the figures of Tab. IX. and X.the letter a. denotes 

 the Sqnamce, b. the Capsules, and c. the Seeds.
