GENERAL REMARKS. 



3G1 



6b. Is a stage interaediate between 6 and 6. c. in none but 

 in 6 a. could I succeed in separating the seta. 



6c. Stigma peculiar, as it were unilabiate, a young leaf is in 

 attachment, and two cellular processes, in all these the 

 structure of the style and its subsequent appearance 

 speak for themselves. 



In this, and all others, before it is obscured by the brown co- 

 lours, it is of rather late appearance, at least towards the 

 bottom of the style, the lower part of style is gorged as 

 it were with granular matter. 



7. Female flower sometime after impregnation, but before 

 protrusion of the stigma from the convolute leaves, at its 

 base an abortive pistillum and the usual processes. 



7, b. Seta detached, its apex is just buried in the solid base 



of the pistillum : in its apex the subsequent opercle is 



visibly commencing. 

 ~c. Same, more enlarged the green part is solid : annular 



markings are visible on the opercle. 

 ~e. Apex of the seta : terminal cell appears double, but this 



is from a fold in it from pressure, Jd, grumous green 



mass contained in the green part of the head of the seta. 



8. Apex of another seta, shewing the terminal cell.

Explanation of' plates continued. 



1 . A curious misrepresentation, or rather a representation of 

 a mistake, shewing a pistillum after impregnation sub- 

 mitted to considerable pressure, the commencement of 

 the seta is visible towards its centre, and in connection 

 with it, what appears exactly like a boyau. There being 

 two boyaux, I looked more closely, and began to suspect 

 that the pressure by dislocating the cells of the style 

 had caused this elongated appearance, and I find this 

 was the case. 



2. Male flowers, terminal in one instance stem branched, 

 one branch bearing male, the other female flowers.
