the anthers (Fig. 42, F). The fact that in many flowers I 

 have found the stigma covered with pollen-grains, some of 

 which were germinating, and have found abundance of pol- 

 len around the anthers, even in a flower like A — B, in which 

 the stigma is situated so unusually high above the anthers, 

 is a justification for regarding this as brought about by self- 

 pollination. I must, however, point out the fact that the

 A, A flower in natural position in the inflorescence; В (Vi), the upper 

 part of the same in longitudinal section. C, Lower lip and the part 

 around the throat seen in front view. D, The upper part of a flower 

 in front view. E, Lower lip, slightly magnified. F as B, but with 

 the stigma in another position. G, A flower in natural position, larger 

 than A, showing the venation of the upper lip. (E. Warming, 1890.) 



stigma is not placed in the same position relative to the 

 anthers in all the flowers of the same inflorescence, and it 

 appeared to me to be the rule for it to be situated slightly 

 more forward in younger than in older flowers; .... the 

 filaments are glabrous. In many places in West Greenland, 

 as far as Upernivik (Ryder), it was found with abundant 

 fruit. Even in July (1884) new fruit was set at 64° and 

 67° N. lat."
