were 6-8 mm. in diameter, and the smallest were 1-2 mm. in 
diameter. There is no correspondence between the degree of 
development of the flower and its position in the inflorescence. 
They seem to be promiscuously scattered over the slightly thickened 
end of the flower stalk. 
There are 5 sepals as in the normal flowers. They are slightly 
green and have a number of tentacles as shown in fig. 2. The 
marginal tentacles are generally larger and as a rule vary in number

from 2 to 4. The surface tentacles have smaller stalks and are 
very often lacking. In one case I found 2 adjacent fused sepals as 
shown in fig. 1, which represents the ventral surface of the 
calyx showing the attachment of the sepals. The tentaculiferous 
petals alternate with the sepals. While in the normal flower they 
are usually white or pinkish in color, in the chloranthic flowers they 
are pale green, and, as noted, covered with a varying number of 
normal tentacles (fig. 3). The shape of these petals is like that 
of the foliage leaf with the characteristic spatulate blade and a 
rather long, narrow, and flattened petiole. The tentacles are 
scattered quite regularly along the margin and over the surface
