          my Japan plant is 
 (I have not the Oregon one),
 in the scape, spathe 
 when there is any, structure
 of ovary & ovule, I found 
 a genus on them, i.e.
 Arctiodracon ("Northern
 Dragon" = Dracontium sp. [spinosum?] Linn. [Linn�])
 and show that Oronticeae
 are only Dracontieae, etc.
 And I correct the character 
 of the ovules of Orontium, &c. 
 You are right about the 
 ovule of Symplocarpus. 
 In my ed. [edition] 2. of Manual 
 I omitted to make a correction 
 which I had recorded in my
 herbm [herbarium] several years before.
