BELOOW CHURRA. 



gainst the usual idea, because the lamina of the leaf is 

 always first formed, the petiole, as in the stamens etc. being 

 formed at a later period. There can be no doubt but that 

 the pitcher is merely due to a hollowing of the apex of the 

 petiole, or rather tendril. The lamina is of difficult explana- 

 tion : (if it is the lamina of the leaf) from its venation, its emar- 

 gination and the prolongated apex of the tendril, it is a com- 

 pound one, analagous to the leaf of Bauhinia. All the parts 

 are glanduLar, the glands being pitted in the center and 

 highly secretory. The inside of the pitcher from about the 

 middle downwards abounds with secretary glands, this part 

 is of a firm structure the upper becomes reddish subsequently, 

 it has no glands, and soon becomes flaccid, it has no sto- 

 mata the cuticle is prelonged into a sort of lid, but short, 

 over the glands. The outer surface has likewise no sto- 

 mata ? but has a few glands.
