PPETALODY. 295 
mens affords a satisfactory explanation of the appear- 
ance in some double Malvacew, wherein the tufts of 
adventitious petals are very liable to be mistaken for 
buds, produced by axillary prolification in the axils of 
the petals, but which are in reality compound and 
petaloid stamens. At other times, however, true 
axillary prolification exists in these flowers; but then 
the supplemental florets have always a calyx, which is 
wanting in the other instances. 
Petalody of the stamens has been met with most 
frequently in the following genera :
