aave no petals or very small ones, 

 ind barren stamens or none, are 

 cleistogamio ; the upper herma- 

 phrodite flowers are said never to 

 produce fruit, and therefore pro- 

 bably act as males. Moreover in 

 SteUwria graminea, as Babington 

 remarks ('British Botany,' 1851, 

 p. 51) " shorter and longer petals 

 aooompany an imperfection of the 

 stamens or germen." 



I have added to the list the fol- 

 lowing cases: Several Aoanthaceae, 

 for which see J. Bcott in ' Journal 

 of Bot.' (London), new series, vol. 

 i. 1872, p. 161. With respect to 

 Salvia see Br. Asoherson in ' Bot. 

 Zeitung," 1871, p. 555. For Oxy- 

 baphus and Nyctaginia see Asa 

 Gray in 'American Naturalist,' 

 Nov. 1873, p. 692. From Dr. 

 Torrey's account of Bottmda 

 inflata (' Bull, of Torrey Botan. 

 Club,' vol. ii. June 1871) it is 

 manifest that this plant produces 

 true cleistogamio flowers. For

Pavonia see Bouoh^ in ' Sitzungs- 

 berichte d. Gesellsch. Natur. 

 Freunde,' Oct. 20, 1874, p. 90. I 

 have added Thelymitra,a3 from the 

 account given by Mr. Fitzgerald in 

 his magnificent work on ' Austra- 

 lian Orchids ' it appears that the 

 flowers of this plant in its native 

 home never open, but they do not 

 appear to be reduced in size. Nor 

 is this the case with the flowers of 

 certain species of Epidendron, 

 Cattleya, &c. (see second edition 

 of my ' Feitilisatiou of Orchids,' 

 p. 147), which without expanding 

 produce capsules. It is therefore 

 doubtful whether these Orchideae 

 ought to have been inclsded in the 

 list. From what Duval-Jouve says 

 about Cryptostachys in ' Bull. 

 Soo. Bot. de France,' torn. x. 1863, 

 p. 195, this plant appears to pro- 

 duce cleistogamio flowers. The 

 other additions to the list are 

 noticed in my text.
