was distinctly notched at the apex (Fig. i ,/). Of these, unfortunately, no 
record was made. There were other forms, however, which were provided 
with five stamens instead of the usual four ; some of these showed three 
stigmas, two had five ‘nutlets’ (Fig. i, c ) recorded for them (records were 
seldom made of the number of nutlets), most of them had notched upper 
lips to the corolla, and two of them had two upper lips and in each case 
one of these lips was notched. These two cases should probably be 
regarded as incipient fasciations. One of the specimens was remarkable 
in that it possessed only four sepals, while the other members of all the 
other whorls were increased (Table I, 7)- In the other cases an increase

in the number of members of any one whorl was usually accompanied by 
an increase in some other whorl. The undoubted fasciation referred to 
had eight members to its calyx, two upper corolla lips both bifurcated, six 
stamens, and ten nutlets (the styles had fallen off). This was a middle 
flower of a side inflorescence (as indeed all the flowers in this series were in 
the cases in which a record had been made of the definite position), and the 
leaf-stalk to the auxiliary leaf of this inflorescence also showed signs of 
‘ forking ’ ; the leaf itself had not been preserved, but if it had shown any 
peculiar feature it probably would have been. The vascular structure of 
this petiole is shown in Fig. 1, h , and may be compared with that of the 
normal petiole of Fig. 1 ,g.
