108 SWARZ ON THE GENERA OF ORCHIDEJE, 



almost upright, connate with the upper part of the 

 style, but in such manner that the part where it 

 joins, is visible, fleshy behind, with two oblong 

 cells, each of which has a membranous valve at 

 the front that opens and emits the pollen.* The 

 same is the case in Disa ; but here the anther re- 

 clines, assumes an horizontal position, and is con- 

 cealed in the helmet. 



In Satyrium it resembles a scrotum, and is 

 attached near the summit of the elongated style. 



Corycium and Pterygodium have an anthera 

 didyma, the cells of which constitute, as it were, 

 two anthers, at the sides of the style, but join at 

 the back part of this organ. 



Disperis has a simple upright anther covered in 

 front, the integument having two cells, formed by 

 two cartilaginous twisted side-lobes. 



In Neottia, Cranichis, and Diuris, it is fixed to 

 the back-part of the style, upright, acuminate, 



* At the front of the base, beneath the anther, above the stigma pro- 

 jects a blunt point, which Crantz calls clitiris ; Sprzngei., klappchcn ; 

 I.i nnjeus toolc it for the stigma. In many species both of Orchis and 

 Disa, there appears another small point projecting between the cells of 

 the anther, over the above-mentioned blunt one, which Ha llir called 

 sfinula. Its use is unknown.
