Bauer in 1801.

the petals, sepals, and column ; magnified 10 times. 
2. A side view of the same. 
3. A front view of the column of an expanded flower ; magnified 20 times. 
In this figure is shewn the true position of the anther, with regard 
to the stigmatic cavity ; the clinandrium is seen to have two obtuse 
teeth at the back, and the column to have two fleshy ears or lobes 
towards its summit, and a longitudinal furrow in its face. At an 
earlier period there are two distinct tubercles at the foot of the 
column, and the longitudinal furrow is shallower. Before impreg- 
nation the anther is not incumbent upon the clinandrium, but so 
much erect that the cells are distinctly visible nearly their whole 
length, when the column is viewed from the front without disturb- 
ing the anther. At this period the true stigma is found to consist 
of two transparent, contiguous, but distinct, round glands, which 
afterwards disappear. 
4 Represents the same column with the anther turned back, so as to lay 
5. Is 
naked the clinandrium andto expose the stigmatic cavity and pollen- 
masses. From this it appears that the two fleshy ears or lobes at 
the upper end of the column form the two sides of the quadrangular 
stigmatic surface, that the clinandrium is at right angles with the 
axis of the column, and that the position of the pollen-masses in 
the cavities of the anther is side by side, and not incumbent. 
a view of the face of the anther without its pollen; magnified 
20 times. The position of its lobes will be found upon comparison 
with tab. 1. fig. 12. to be the reverse of that of Malaxis,
