it turns as on a hinge, and finally expands parallel to the perianth.’ 
Between the stamens and the inner whorl of the perianth are two 
series of organs, namely, five little glands, alternately with the

perianth-leaves, and slightly exterior to them, and ten cornets opening 
obliquely outwards, superposed in pairs to the leaves of the inner 
whorl of the perianth, and placed a little outside the glands. The 
one-celled ovary contains, attached near its summit, a descending 
anatropous ovule, whose micropyle faces the placenta below its point 
of attachment.* On this side the elongated style surmounting the 
ovary is grooved longitudinally ;* it ends in a broad stigmatiferous 
expansion concave above, and notched on the side corresponding with 
the groove. The fruit is dry, elongated, and narrowly spindle- 
shaped, but its walls are extended into two, three, or four large dry 
1 The pollen consists of large globular grains, 
bristling with conical papilla, and often slightly 
mossy at the apex. 
2-'The rim of these cornets is obliquely trun- 
cate, either from before or backwards or on 
one side, They probably correspond with the 
glands found at the base of the staminal fila- 
ments in Gyrocarpus and the true Laurucee. 
Their cavity secretes a viscid nectar.

without adhering, so that the hollow style can 
often be spread out flat.
