or partly so (fig. 44); in the latter case in such a way that 
only the upper half is folded up and seemingly springs from 
the back of the blade. This case strongly calls to mind the 
formation of cups in the terminal leaflet of Trifolium repens, 
though the numerous intermediate forms observed there seem 
not to occur on strawberries. Fig. 45 shows a cup under the 
three leaflets, fig. 46 an additional leaflet at the base of the 
terminal pitcher. } 
Penzia I, p. 340 mentions that Duraitty records cupshaped 
leaflets in Fragaria vesca and p. 429 foliaceous appendages 
under the three normal foliola of Fr. collina Ehrh.

The thalamus is not urceolate but lengthened out and con- 
sisting of distinct internodes. The five sepals have the shape 
of ordinary leaves. The lowest is solitary, then follow 2?/, mM. 
higher up the other four sepals at distances hardly perceptible. 
The highest sepal consists of nothing but two well developed 
stipules and with its midrib the only petal coalesces at right 
angles. As these two (sepal and petal) are pressed against one 
side of the thalamus, there is no room here for stamens and 
pistils. These organs are consequently to be found only on the 
other side above sepals 2—4.,

The leaflets, which according to Miquel are ,alterna vel sub- 
opposita*, show an abnormal arrangement as is to be seen in 
the figure (47), viz. two leaflets springing from the same point _ 
opposite the lowest left one; there is nothing opposite the 
second left one, then follow two pairs of opposite folioles and 
finally the terminal leaflet.
