DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATE. 
Puare LIII. 
Fig. 1. A drawing of Zephyra amena, of the natural size. 
Fig. 2. The perianth cut open to show the mode of insertion and relative position of the four fertile and 
two sterile stamens: magnified. 
Fig. 3 exhibits the manner in which the six filaments are united into an annular ring, inserted upon the 
tube of the perianth. One of the fertile stamens is inflected, so that the point of attachment of 
the filament behind the basal spur of the anther may be seen: more magnified. 
Fig. 4. A sterile stamen, showing the form of the two pouch-like empty cells of the incomplete anther : 
still more magnified. 
Fig. 5. A drawing of Tecophilea violeflora: natural size. i l 
Fig. 6. The perianth cut open, showing the relative size and position of the three fertile and three sterile 
stamens. 
Fig. 7. One of the inner segments of the perianth, the margins of which are ciliated at base. i 
Fig. 8. One of the outer segments of the perianth, with a curved spur inserted externally a little below 
its apex. All magnified. i 
Fig. 9. A portion of the tube of the perianth, with the six filaments conjoined at base into an annular 
ring, the three fertile stamens being turned into different positions, in order to show the basal 
spur, and the operculiform mode of dehiscence of the anthers; the three collateral sterile 
stamens have pouch-like empty anther-cells, like those seen in Zephyra: more magnified. 
Fig. 10. A ripe capsule showing the cicatrical line left by the attachment of the fallen perianth, 
Fig. 11. The same after its dehiscence by three short apical valves. 
Fig. 12. A transverse section of the same. 
Fig. 13. Some of its seeds. All of natural size. 
Fig. 14. A drawing of the flowering stem of Conanthera bifolia. 
Fig. 15. A flower with its six equal fertile and exserted anthers, connivent into an acute cone.
