never saw more than one flower in the same period of growth. 

 The biology has been treated by Warming; also as regards this 

 species I can but confirm the facts already known. P. villosa 

 is distinguishable in some main characteristics from the other

two species. The hindmost part of the stigma is always well 

 developed, usually, however, it is smaller than the foremost 

 one (Fig. 14, Я.) According to Warming this fact proves that 

 P. villosa represents a more primary type than the other two. 

 Both parts of the stigma are furnished with papillae on their 

 upper side and are more or less bent backward (Fig. 14, G).
