V. 2793. PL XL Fig. 1. 



The bracts in this specimen are of large size, and less complete. 

 In the centre we have the remains of the base of the axis to 

 which seed-bearing peduncles were originally attached : cf. V. 3201 

 (PI. X. Pig. 4). 'On one side of the central boss a portion of the 

 fibrous annular ring is preserved, showing the impressions of some 

 of the peripheral structures of the spadix ; external to this we 

 have traces of a reticulate structure resembling that of V. 3201 

 (PL X. Fig. 4). Ecclesbourne. Ruffurd Coll. 



V. 2129^. PL XI. Fig. 2. 



Portions of large and spreading bracts surrounding a slightly 

 irregular conical cavity ; on the inner face of this there are 

 numerous fine reticulations. Probably of the same type as 

 V. 3177 (PL X. Fig. 1), but much less complete. Ecclesbourne.
