1916] LEVINE—CHLORANTHY IN DROSERA 305 
developed into 4 comparatively large spatulate leaves covered 
with numerous tentacles and having a well developed vascular 
system (compare modified sepals, petals, and leaves in fig. 10). 
The central rosette of young leaves is large and in all appearances 
resembles the normal winter buds common to D. intermedia. 
The cases figured represent what appears to be the ordinary 
structure of the chloranthic flowers in this species of Drosera, but 
variations from this type can be found. Fig. 11 represents a

flower in which some of the leaves in the petal series have few 
tentacles. Fig. 12 represents one of a cluster of 6 flowers in a 
capitate inflorescence in which an abnormality appeared. In this 
flower the number of sepals is reduced to 2; they have tentacles 
and are like those previously described. The number of petals is 
likewise reduced. The stamens are 5 in number and are character- 
ized by having broad filaments (fig. 5) with anthers, as just noted, 
consisting of 1 or 2 locules in which no pollen grains were found. 
The leaf rudiments resemble those in the ordinary chloranthic 
flowers. Although I have not observed their further development, 
there can be no doubt that these chloranthic flowers serve as a
