76 Hems ley . — Two new Triuridaceae , with some Remarks on 
3-celled. Be that as it may, there is little doubt that there is an error of 
observation in Blume’s work, and that dehiscence by longitudinal slits does 
not occur in Sciaphila ; and his ‘ fleshy anthers ’ were probably rudimentary 
carpels. Such a misconception of facts is not at all improbable where the 
parts are so extremely small.
