leaflets and tendrils, which he did not observe, at least not 
distinctly, in the preceding species. In the present plant for 
instance one of the three branches was foliaceous. Fig. 23 re- 
presents a leaf of which the three-clawed tendril has been re- 
placed by an unequally divided terminal leafiet. 
Bignonia spec. China Leaves pinnate 3-foliolate, those of 
the climbing branches bi-foliolate with a simple tendril. Besides 
bi-foliolate leaves without tendril Mr. Smith also found a 
leaf as represented in fig. 24, where the terminal leaflet is a 
tendril and one of the lateral ones has been suppressed. This 
explanation seems the most plausible one taking into conside- 
ration a slight impression opposite the leatfiet. 
Tecoma speciosa, 2 member of the same family, like Bigno- 
nia produces climbing and non-climbing leaves. The latter are 
as a rule two-foliolate, in the former the terminal leaflet is 
replaced by a simple tendril. In the non-climbing were found 
by Mr. Smith: simple, bilobate, bifid, bipartite, 2-foliolate , 
trilobate, triple-cut, nearly 8-foliolate. In a 3-foliolate leaf the 
stalks of two of the leaflets were cohering.

Stems and branches. 
A very remarkable case of fasciation was in 1894 studied 
by Mr. Smith in Aymenocallis senegambica. I call it remarkable 
because of the fact that we have here to do with a Monoco- 
tyledoneous plant and on account of the regular development 
of the disturbance. 
The plant in question, being a member 
has the same growth as Himantophyllum, but has 
loped bulbs and leaves of a much more delicate hight 
tint. In the hothouses of Europe these and other species are 
frequently cultivated, usually going by the name of Pancra- 
tium and producing beautiful, odorous, white flowers. 
The shoot, which was observed from February to the middle 
of the Amaryllideae,
