 arife out of the furface of the leaves near the 

 extremities of the fegments. 



Befides thefe, there are other frudifications, fup- 

 pofed by Dillenius to he female^ which refemble 

 green fhining grains or globules, fcattered with- 

 out order upon the furface and edges of the 

 leaves, and which he imagines to be the rudi- 

 ments of young plants. 



There are alfo further to be feen dark-green or 

 black fpecks, immers'd in the fubftance of the 

 leaves, and difpofed three or four in a row 

 near their margins. Thefe feem to be what 

 Linnaeus fuppofes the female fructifications. 



The firft-mentioned bulbs, with their necks and 

 granulated heads, are very quick in their rife 

 and decay, but a continued fuccefllon of them 

 is vifible from O£fober till Chrijlmas, about 

 which time the plant dies away, and appears 

 pot again till July or Auguft following.
