those of C. conocephala especially so, To this must, I think, be 
ascribed the free condition of the anthers of the last named species. 
At a very early stage they are pemey united, only to be separated 
when the style swells out. This supposition is supported by me 
slight cohesion between the anthers of the other two species, i 
which the stylar thickening is not so pronounced, with sceiabigioaus 
eenegine of the strain upon the anthers.

naaals solieeed by Robert Brown at Fowler’s Bay. Brown seems
