 showing the mode of their inflexion in the bud. Fig. 7, the corolla cut open, to show the position of 

 the stamens cohering in a cone. Fig. 8, a stamen separated : all natural size. Fig. 9, a stamen, seen 

 before and behind, magnified. Fig. 10, the two divergent follicles of Anisolobus hebecarpus, copied 

 from Miiller. Fig. 11, a seed rostrate at the apex, with a long apical coma : both natural size.

 filament: all magnified. Fig. 10, the calyx, with its sepals thrown back to show the disk, style, 

 and clavuncle, natural size. Fig. 11, the tubular disk, denticulate on its margin, nearly concealing 

 the two ovaries, much magnified.

 flower in bud. Fig. 2, the corolla in bud. Fig. 3, the same, cut open to show the singular manner 

 of introflexion of its long linear segments with sinistrorse convolution, and the position of the 

 stamens near the base of the tube. Fig. 4, the same with the segments expanded. Fig. 5, a 

 stamen : all natural size. Fig. 6, a stamen, seen before and behind, magnified. Fig. 7, the calyx, 

 pedicel, and basal bracts, the style and clavuncle, somewhat magnified. Fig. 8, the same with the 

 sepals thrown back, to show the inner scales, the 5-cleft disk, the ovaries, short style, and clavuncle, 

 mme magnified. Fig. 9, a diagram to show the quincuncial imbrication of the sepals.
