FERTILISATION OF THE GOODENIACEJE, 
style and indusium is closely — very closely — boxed up between 
the auricles, and the line of junction covered by a closely pressed 
clothing of hairs. It is possible that the trichomes on the 
posterior margins of the auricles of D. striata, D. eriocephala, and 
D. lanceolata subserve the same purpose. At any rate, I think 
that the hairy styles occurring in flowers which are open to rain, 
etc., and the glabrous ones in those which are perfectly protected, 
is something more than a coincidence.
