PRONUNCIATION AND DERIVATION. 71 
w. naus, Kigio (Greek), ship, to enclose; (all:) hull-shaped half 
capsule (N, 2/421) ; Nicholson throws the accent on the first 
syllable, and shows the second short ; from the derivation 
this would appear to be wrong ;

noktar, anér (Gandros) (Greek), nectar, male; (al/:) three 
nectariferous barren stamens (N, 2/422) ;

fruits (N. 2/4389) ; 
Néphros (Greek), kidney; (all:) kidney shaped sporangia, 
(N. 2/440) ; the accent is as given by Nicholson ; but the ques-
