poUen-grains, highly magnified. Fig. 21, pistil, magnified. Fig. 22, the stigma, more 
magnified. Fig. 23, longitudiual section of the ovary, with two ovules suspended below 
the summit of the ceU, magnified. Fig. 24, the two ovules removed, showiug the placentary 
cup by which they are attached to the side of the cell, more magnified. 
Plate 6. — Bhaphiosttlis Heudelotii.

magnified. Fig. 4, a petal. Fig. 5, stamens, seen in front, sideways, and behind ; all 
magnified. Fig. 6, grains of pollen, highly magnified. Fig. 7, the ovary, with the calyx 
half cut away to show the small hypogynous disk : the apical callus is formed by the rudi- 
ments of two abortive styles. Fig. 8, the same, seen sideways. Fig. 9, a vertical section 
of the same, showing the two collateral ovules suspended from near the apex of the cell : 
all magnified.

on articulated pedicel. Fig. 4, calyx only. Fig. 5, petal, seen on the inner face and side- 
ways. Fig. 6, stamens : all magnified. Fig. 7, stamens, seen before and behind, more 
magnified. Fig. 7*, poUen-graias, highly magnified. Fig. 8, pistil with its hypogynous 
disk and surmounted by the style and the rudiments of two others which are abortive. 
Fig. 9, the same, more magnified. (Fig. 10, vertical section of the same, with two collaterally 
suspended ovules. Fig. 11, transverse section of the same ; all magnified. Fig. 12, hairs that 
cover the ovary, to show their markings, more or less highly magnified. Figs. 13, 14, 15,

flexed, seen from within, and one of the alternate stamens. Fig. 3, a petal, seen ex- 
ternally. Fig. 4, stamens, seen before and behind. Fig. 5, transverse section of anthers, 
before and after dehiscence : all magnified. Fig. 6, grains of pollen, seen sideways and 
vertically, more magnified. Fig. 7, the ovary, seated within the disk. Fig. 8, longitudinal 
section of the same, showing the ovules suspended. Fig. 9, the disk: all magnified. 
Fig. 10, a fruit. Fig. 11, the seed. Fig. 12, longitudinal section of the same, showing
