Heracleum Sphondylium. Euphorbia geniculata. 
In addition to the foregoing there are very numerous 
instances of similar substitution in chloranthic flowers. 
In the above list only those cases are given wherein 
the leafy change is confined to the stamens, or, at least, 
to a few only of the other parts of the flower. 
Phyllody of the pistils’—This 1s of more common occur- 
rence than is the corresponding change in the case of 
the stamens. It is of interest, as it sometimes serves 
to illustrate the morphological nature of the pistil. 
Of this the double-flowering cherry is a well-known 
illustration, the pistil bemg here represented by two 
small fohar laminze, whose midribs are prolonged with 
a short style, terminated by an imperfect stigma. It 
is usually the basal portion of the pistil, the ovary, 
which is thus specially affected, the margins being 
also often disunited so as to expose the ovules. These 
latter organs may be absent or they may themselves 
be the subjects of foliaceous development. Moquin’ 
relates having found in the neighbourhood of Mont- 
eller a flower of a tulip the ovary of which was repre- 
sented by true leaves, which bore on their margins the 
ovules, and thus presented a striking analogy with 
the carpels of those Stercuhas, like S. platanifolia, 
which are foliaceous in texture and open very early in 
the course of their development. A similar occur- 
1“ Tf we keep in view the observations which have now been made, we 
shall not fail to recognise the leaf in all seed-vessels, notwithstanding 
their manifold forms, their variable structure, and different combi- 
nations.”—(Goethe, ‘ Metam.,’ § 78.) Wolff, ‘N. Comm. Acad. Petrop.,’ 
1766, xii, p. 405, expresses precisely the same opinion as to the nature 
of the seed-vessel.
