the broadly winged seeds of the two other known species of this group. The 
female flowers of the new species are yet unknown. 
As I pointed out (I. c.), the subgenus Cremastogyne is a very distinct one, 
and differs widely from subg. A/nus Endl. and Almaster Endl. in its single male 
and female aments, which appear in the spring on this year’s branchlets in the 
axils of normal leaves. The male flowers are entirely apetalous (fig. K, 6-9), 
and the female flowers, so far as I can see, agree well with those of 
the other subgenera; they are shown in fig. K, 10-12. In fig. K, 12, the 
small “‘prophylla” of the female flowers can be seen, which are hairy at the 
apex. In A. cremastogyne the female flowers I have seen had always 3 stigmas. 
The fruiting bracts and the seeds of A. Janata are represented in fig. K, 14-16; 
those of A. cremastogyne are very similar. 
I take the liberty of dedicating this excellent species to His Majesty King 
oe I of the Bulgarians, an eminent botanist and patron of natural
