margins of the pollen-masses in such a way as to be inter- 
posed between them and the Clinandrium; or Bed of the 
Anther. These constitute true Epidendree. The third 
state of the pollen-masses depends upon the total absence 
of both caudicula and gland. Pollen of this nature may 
be considered to vary the most from the general structure 
which obtains in Orchidee, and to differ from ordinal 
pollen only in the intimate cohesion of all the granules. 
Plants with this character are called Malavidee. 
The following is the general arrangement of Orchidez 
which has been proposed in the work above mentioned :— - 
1. §, Neottiee. Pollen simplex y. & granulis laxé coheerentibus. 
Tribus I. Nrorrirm. Anthera stigmate parallela erecta. 
Tribus II. Arernusex. Anthera terminalis opercularis. 
2. §. Orchidee, Pollen in granulis demim. cereaceis numero indefinitis 
coheerens, ae 
Tribus IIT, Gastropizx. Anthera terminalis opercularis. 
Tribus IV. Opurypex, Anthera terminalis erecta y, inversa. Pol- 
linia caudiculata. 
3. §. Epidendree. Pollen in granis demim cereaceis numero definitis 
cohzerens, 
Tribus V. Vanpex. Pollinia caudiculd di 
mati affixa. : 
Tribus VI. Errpenprex. Pollinia caudiculis 
teplicatis stizmati affixa. 
Tribus VII. Maraxiprx. Pollinia libera 
aphana y. glandula stig- 
filiformibus pulvereis 
> mune ad apicem ma- 
terie viscidA y. pulverea aut granulosa coherentia. 
4. §. Cypripediee. Anthere laterales fertiles « intermedia sterili petaloided. 
Tribus VII]. Cyprirepize, 
Oxs. Affinitas Ornpin1s summa cum Scitamineis per Neottieas; in- 
ferior magisque obscura cum Asphodeleis per Thely- 
mitram et Junceis per Malaxideas, 
J. 1.
