Plate XXXI. 



Mitozus exilis, a portion of a plant in flower and fruit. Fig. 1, the calyx and pedicel. Fig. 2, the corolla, 

 cut open to show the form and simply dextrorse convolution of the segments and the position of 

 the stamens. Fig. 3, a stamen : all natural size. Fig. 4, the same, shown on its inside. Fig. 5, 

 the same with the filament removed. Fig. 6, the same, seen outside. Fig. 7, the filament : all 

 much magnified. Fig. 8, the calyx, with the sepals thrown back to show the denticulated inner scale, 

 the disk, ovaries, and style, magnified. Fig. 9, the two follicles conjoined at the apex. Fig. 10, a 

 seed with its apical coma : both natural size. 



Plate XXXII. 



Secondatia densifolia, portion of a plant in flower, from Gardner's specimen. Fig. 1, the short 

 panicle. Fig. 2, a flower expanded: both natural size. Fig. 3, the corolla expanded. Fig. 4, the 

 same, cut open, showing the simple dextrorse convolution of the segments, the tube ventricose in 

 the middle, pubescent in the contracted mouth, the position of the stamens in the lower constriction 

 of the tube. Fig. 5, one of the anthers detached. Fig. 6, the filament. Fig. 7, the calyx, with the 

 sepals thrown back to show the urceolate disk half-cleft into five lobes, the style, and clavuncle : all 

 magnified on the same scale. Fig. 8, the follicle, from a specimen of Martins in the Brit. Museum. 

 Fig. 9, a seed. Fig. 10, the albumen. Fig. 11, the embryo extracted : all natural size. 



Plate XXXIII. 



A. Mesechites myrtifolia, portion of a plant in flower and finiit. Fig. 1, the calyx. Fig. 2, the corolla 



in bud. Fig. 3, the same, cut open to show the simple dextrorse convolution of the segments and 

 the position of the stamens : all natural size. Fig. 4, the calyx with the sepals thrown back, show- 

 ing the inner scales, the five free lobes of the disk, and the ovaries, magnified. Fig. 5, the two 

 parallel torose follicles, natural size. 



B. Anechites circinalis, portion of a plant in flower. Fig. 1, a flower, natural size. Fig. 2, the corolla in 



bud. Fig. 3, the same expanding. Fig. 4, the same, cut open, showing the simple dextrorse convo- 

 lution of the segments and the position of the half-exserted stamens. Fig. 5, the calyx. Fig. 6, 

 the same, with the sepals thrown back to show the inner scales, the five free lobes of the disk, and 

 the ovaries : all equally magnified. Fig. 7, an anther. Fig. 8, its filament : both more magnified.
