Stellate Buds. 



We sometimes have sessile umbels, where they present a star-shaped appearance. 

 A characteristic example is — 



E. stellulata, fig. 16, Plate 25.

(e) Receptacle. 



The Peduncle naturally leads us to the Receptacle, but I find that Bentham 

 only refers to it once, and Mueller not at all. Under E. Lehmanni Preiss, the former 

 (B. Fl. hi, 233) refers to " the receptacle forming a globose mass of |- in. or more 

 diameter, in which the calyx-tubes (usually two to three lines diameter) are more or 

 less immersed Fruits half immersed in the receptacle . . ." 



Turning to Plate 144, at 56, between the articulation and the buds, we find 

 the lower part of the receptacle. In 5c, under the fruits, we see the receptacle as an 

 irregular mass, in which, as Bentham states, the fruits are half immersed. The 

 swelling of the peduncle and its relation to the receptacle is seen at fig. 4a. The 

 receptacle and its relation to the fruits is, however, best shown in a longitudinal 

 section which I shall present later on as a figure.
