together with them two-bladed pitchers may not rarely be 

 observed, as in the magnolia and the common plantain. 

 The pelories of the foxgloves are almost always the seat of 

 secondary deviations, such as tube-like petals, fissions of the 

 corolla, multiplication of the stamens, the production of a 

 secondary raceme from within the capsule, and so on. Even

 material for quite a large field in the science of teratology.
