In a few cases the apical appendage is elongated as in 6a, in others 
the basal appendages are elongated as in 6b. 
Type 7. As type 6, but with the auricles of contiguous auricles 
connate (Fig. 6, 7). 
Type 8. Apical appendage present; basal appendages acute 
auricles, mucronate or prolonged into small tails (Fig. 6, 8). 
Type 9. As type 8, but with the auricles and tails of con¬ 
tiguous anthers connate (Fig. 6, 9). 
Type 10. Similar to type 8, but with longer tails (Fig. 6, 10). 
Type 11. Apical appendage elongated; basal appendages 
acute, elongated auricles prolonged into tails (Fig. 6, 11). 
Type 12. Similar to type 9, but with considerably longer
