28 F. A. G. MIQUEL, ANALECTA BOTANICA INDICA. 
sexum ab eo examinatum fuisse conjicias, sed sexus discrimen haud intellexit. — In 
speciminibus meis video antheras 30, fossulis disco subtus insculptis immersas, columnae 
suleis profundis respondentibus, ovoideo-subangulatas, ore circulari hiantes. 1 lineâ 
paulo majores. Fossulae singulae processu (vel quasi membraná) triangulari separantur, 
quae in columnae sulcorum dissepimentum altum et complanatum (unde ecolumna 
quasi alato-suleata) transit. Pili rigiduli parvi, iis processuum stvliformium omnimodo 
aequales, in dissepimentorum acie et fossularum marginibus obvii. Annuli circa columnae 
basin duo, in fundo floris, exterior latior. Ovariuim in flore masc. tarctum, absque ullo 
ovulorum vestigio. 
IL Quo loco in Rafflesiae flore stigma quaerendum sit, quo modo foeeundatio 
loeum habeat, minime adhuc constat. Si disci processus styliformes stylos et pilos in 
corum apice obvios stigma vocare velis, totum discum stigma habere oportet, nam 
processuum illorum textura anatomica a reliqua discì compage nulla ratione differt 
et pili ejusmodi in disci margine et circa fossarum antheriferarum margines et in 
columnae lateribus adsunt et ín stirpibus masculis nunquam desunt imo majori per- 
inde copia quam in feminis offenduntur. »Another point (inquit R. Br. Le. p. 225), 
which in my former paper I considered doubtful, namely the seat or limit of the 
stigmata, is not ever now satisfactorily established; for the slender processus forming 
the hispid tips of the supposed styles, which have to much the appearance of. the 
ultimate divisions of stigma, are merely hairs of a very simple structure, and exactly 
resembling those found in other parts of the column; though in several of the spe- 
cimens esamined they were greatly altered in appearance, from a coating of mucous 
matter taken up and again deposited by the spirit in which the specimens were 
preserved. A slight difference, indeed, seems to exist between the tissue of the apices 
of the styles and the other parts of their surface; hardly sufficient, however, to prove 
it to be stigma, though this is no doubt the probable seat of that organ.” — Pro- 
cessus illi styliformes omnino ex eodem cellularum parenchymaticarum genere et nexu 
constant ac ipse discus, tum si eorum parietes laterales tum si eorum apicem spectas.
