. Contributions from the Botanical Laboratory, vol. 5. Botany; Botany. Fie. Stomata X 290. I. On lower epidermis scale of Monotropa umflora 2-10. On epidermis of ascending axis of: 2-3. Sarcodes sanguinea 4-5. Monotropa hypopitys 6-10. M. uniflora more frequent in M. hypopitys. The guard cells are extremely large and often much distorted. Whether or not these stomata function one cannot say, but their presence indicates that they were functional at one time, at least when the plant was young and before the guard cells were pulled apart by the rapid upward growth of the flowerstalk. Unicellular hairs with ridged cuticu- lar thickenings are present on the epidermis. •*.? i In M. uniflora the epidermal cells are similar to those of M. hypopitys. The transverse type of stoma is much more frequent, the longitudinal type being rather rare. Fig. 4, 6-10 shows a series in the formation of a transverse stoma from the longitudinal. 6 is a normal stoma. In the growth of the stalk the guard cells gradually become pulled apart and slightly turned around as in 7. In 8 the slit is diagonal, 9 shows the cells almost completely around, and finally 10 shows the directly transverse slit. Portions of the epidermis of boiled-up material of Pleuri- cospora were found to have shorter thicker walled cells than the preceding. No hairs or stomata have as yet been seen but the material at hand was limited, so this does not finally preclude the possibility of their occurrence. Hairs similar to those found on the axis in Pyrolaceae and Monotropaceae are characteristic of many of the Ericaceae. This is another close similarity found in the three Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original University of Pennsylvania.
