receptacle has only 3 vascular bundles or nerves, one in front and one 
dorsal sepal receives its nerve as a branch from one of the lateral 
bundles. This rurtidcai tak futs at the base of the cup-sha 
calyx. The suppression of the dorsal vascular bundle of the receptacle 
and the corresponding replacement of the 2 dorsal wings by one, whilst 
the calyx retains its tetramerous structure, is very remarkable, and it 
would be interesting to know whether the trimerous structure of the 
receptacle is indeed the normal one, as it appears to be from the material 
seen.

Of this very "ume and curious genus of IT æ three speci es 
are already known—two in agascar and a third in Mauritius and 
Bourbon. The us of the present plant Mapa in shape those of 
P. mauritiana, but the veining is quite different; the divisions of the 
flower-wrapper are smaller and less coriaceous, and the stamens are much 
shorter.
