With numerous figures. A minute account of a monstrous form 
of Trifolium repens, with special reference to the bearing of the 
case upon the morphological relations of the parts of the ovule. 
The funiculus with the integuments appear to be in this instance 
the equivalents of a leaflet, the petiolule or midrib of which 
answers to the funiculus and its hollow expansion to the integu¬ 
ments. The nucleus is a new formation analogous to a sprout. 
Applying this view to plants with axile placentation, Dr. Cas¬ 
pary holds that in Primula, the leaves, five in number, constituting 
the pistil, are pro-carpels, the true carpels being each reduced to 
funiculus and integuments of as many ovules. This view he 
considers supported by the taxis of the ovules upon the central 
placenta.

plate. Supplementary to the author’s previous essay on this 
species (Bot. Z. 1859. p. 117.) Information is still required upon 
the fruit, and the way in which the seeds are liberated; their 
structure and germination; the irritability of the leaves; the 
culture of the plant; do the winter-buds float or sink in winter ? 
the duration and development of the flower.
