DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES. 
Plate 97. — Anamieta lemniscata. 
A portion of a branch of the male flowering plant, and another of Anamirta paniculata 
with its fructiferous raceme. 
Fifi. 1, a male flower on its pedicel, nat. size. Fig. 2, the same expanded, magnified. 
Fig. 3, the three outer bracteiform sepals. Fig. 4, the five inner sepals. Fig. 5, the 
fifteen or more almost sessile stamens agglomerated in a capitate form : all magnified to 
the same scale. Fig. 6, a stamen, before and after expansion, more magnified. Fig. 7, 
a female flower before expansion, nat. size. Fig. 8, the same expanded, magnified. 
Fig. 9, the three external bracteiform sepals. Fig. 10, the three intermediate sepals. 
Fig. If, the three internal sepals. Fig. 12, the five ovaries, seated on the gynsecium and 
surrounded by a ring of ten extremely small sterile stamens : all magnified to the same 
scale. Fig. 13, a longitudinal section of an ovary, showing the form of its convex stigma 
and the mode of attachment of its ovule. Fig. 14, the annular ring of ten sterile stamens : 
both more magnified. Fig. 15, a drupe, nat. size : in the drawing of the female plant 
several drupes resulting from a single flower are shown borne upon the corresponding 
forks of the elongated carpophorum, on the summit of which the stipitated drupes are 
articulated. Fig. 16, a putamen deprived of its pericarp, viewed laterally. Fig. 17, the 
same, seen on its ventral face : both nat. size. Fig. 18, a side view of the putamen, 
showing one of the openings leading into the condyle, magnified. Fig. 19, the same, 
seen on the ventral face, where, in the hoUow space, the two small circular apertures 
leading into the condyle are seen. Fig. 20, a longitudinal section of the same, showing 
the form and relative size of the condyle, and one of the apertures leading into the hollow 
chamber. Fig. 21, a transverse section of the same, showing the two channels leading 
into the two-chambered condyle and its internal groove into which the integument of the 
seed is insinuated. Fig. 22, a lateral view of the seed, covered by a thin integument. 
Fig. 23, the same seen on its ventral face, showing the hollow space fitting round the 
condyle, and the longitudinal line of raphe which penetrates the condylar groove. Fig. 
24, a longitudinal section of the same, showing the hollow internal space and the position 
of the embryo imbedded in the albumen, the inner thick portion of which is ruminated. 
Fig. 25, a transverse section of the same, showing the portion of the integument with the 
raphe which insinuated itself into the groove of the condyle. Fig. 26, a dorsal view of 
the same, with the thin plate of simple albumen removed to show the size and position of 
the embryo. Fig. 27, the curved embryo, with its divaricated cotyledons : all magnified 
to the same scale. 
Plate 98. — Paeab^na sagittata. 
A portion of a branch of the male plant in flower, and another of the female plant 
in fruit. 
Fig. 1, a branchlet of the male panicle. Fig. 2, a flower, on its pedicel, before expansion : 
both nat. size. Fig. 3, the three outer sepals, in different positions, magnified. Fig. 4, 
the three inner sepals. Fig. 5, the six petals. Fig. 6, the monadelphous stamen : all 
magnified to the same scale. Fig. 7, the same, showing the six anther-cells fixed round 
a common peltate connective and supported by the filaments united into a central column. 
Fig. 8, the same, seen from above : both more magnified. Fig. 9, one of the anther-cells 
before dehiscence. Fig. 10, the same after dehiscence : both still more magnified. Fig. 11,
