CAXDEHAR. 



Ovarim oblongum apicem versus attenuat, sulcat, 1 loculare. 

 Stylus filiformis, pubescens. Stigma simplex. Ovulum solita- 

 rium pendulum. Stylus vasorum fasciculis tribus I the carinae 

 of ovarium fit into the sulci of the involucrum. 



On what principle are we to explain the presence of the 

 involucrum. It would seem from all analogy to indicate compo- 

 sition of inflorescence, and in this view each flower is a termi- 

 * nal one. But in such case the inflorescence is always ? centri- 

 fugal, not centripetal, which it is in the present instance. 

 The flower belonging as it does to the scale of the receptacle 

 has no business with a double involucrum, if the inflorescence 

 is really simple. If compound, the involucra may be consider- 

 ed as composed of several leaflets, the axils of which do not 

 produce flower buds. In this case we may expect to find a 

 Dipsaceons plant with more than one flower contained in the 

 involucrum, these flowers may be sessile, or the inflorescence 

 may still further be produced.
