Note on the Anatomy of Saxegothaea conspicua 145 
sporophylls in the various species, and is not affected by their 
mode of development. 
I have cordially to thank Dr. Lang for his courtesy in 
explaining to me his position and for the trouble he has taken in 
examining a specimen and slide of L. inundatum which I sent him 
in verification of my results.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE ON THE ANATOMY OF 
SAXEGOTHAEA CONSPICUA, LINDL. 
When a note on this subject was published a short time ago, 1 
I was unfortunately unaware of a paper by Noren 2 published some 
time previously, dealing mainly with the structure and development 
of the pollen and nucellus, and with the mode of pollination of 
Saxegothcea. From his observations Noren concludes that the 
Araucarieae and Podocarpeae are related through Saxegothcea, a 
view that I was led to put forward from considerations of the 
anatomy of the latter.
