Somali Land, the mateiial was ample enough to afford a more satis-

nearly always 5-toothed and very different from that of Cyclocheilon ;

a dehiscence along those lines. The degree to which the inflexed

Cyclocheilon varies. The fusion is always complete at the base where 
the funicles rise. Higher up the epidermis of each of the two halves 
of the septum is quite » distinct where they meet, the cells being merely 
interlocked and mutually agglutinated ; still higher up the. septum 
divides into two a or disappears altogether. There is usually one 
ovule in each cell in C. minutibracteolatum ; but in Scott- Elliot’s

the ovary is equally variable, even in the same ovary, as is also the 
length of the funicle, which, when elongated, is S-shaped. I now
