FRUCTIFICATION. 
Tab. X. 
Views of the anatomical structure of a column and ovarium; 
from sketches by Mr. Bauer in 1793. 
The upper figure represents a transverse and vertical section of the 
column of Epidendrum ciliare. The larger cavity is that formed by the 
union of the labellum and column; the smaller represents the stigmatic 
canal, with its mucous lining. The mass of the column consists of 
hexagonal cellular tissue, among which are distributed various bundles of 
spiral vessels encased in very dense woody fibre ; magnified 60 times. 
The under figure is a vertical section of the portion of the ovarium 
of Bletia verecunda represented in Tab. IX. Magnified 60 times.
