(a) Ribs of calyx-tube. 



(b) Thickness of capsule. 



(c) Reniform cells. 



(d) Thick placental-column. 



Dehiscence of the Capsules. 

 2a-2e show the valves of the capsule of some species fused or united, as described in Dr. L. Trabut's paper 



translated at p. 585, Part LX. The numbers of Dr. Trabut's figures are given in brackets — 



2a (1), 26 (2), 2c (3), 2d (4), 2e (5).
