The column and sexual apparatus of SaTYRIUM PUSTULA~ 
tum; from a drawing by Mr. Bauer in 1800. This plate 
shews the state of all the parts of fructification a few days 
before the expansion of the flower; and illustrates the 
Tribe called OpHRYDE&. 
1. Back view of a young bud 6 or 7 days before expansion ; natural 
size. 
2. The same; magnified 4 diameters. 
3. Front view of the same; magnified 4 diameters. 
4. View of a longitudinal section of the labellum of the same bud, the 
sepals and petals being removed; magnified 4 diameters. 
5. Front view of the column and ovarium; magnified 4 diameters. 
6. A back view of the organs of fructification, of a somewhat younger 
bud, at the time when the caudicule are just protruding through 
their sheath but have not yet reached the stigmatic glands; mag- 
nified 16 diameters. 
7. Front view of the parts of fructification of the bud represented at 
figs. 1, 2, 3, in the act of fecundation, the stigmatic glands and the 
stigmatic cavity being full of fluid ; magnified 16 diameters. 
8. Back view of the same; the caudicule are firmly fixed to the stig- 
matic glands; magnified 16 diameters. 
9. Side view of the same. 
10. Vertical section of the same; magnified 16 diameters. 
11. Front view of the parts represented at fig. 7, one of the stigmatic 
glands having been extracted from its socket, as is easily effected 
at this age; magnified 16 diameters. 
12. A back view of the extracted gland, shewing the point of insertion 
of the caudicula. 
13. A front view of the same gland, shewing the point from which the
