Organography of plants, especially of the archegoniatae and spermaphyta . e to one another, have axillary shoots. Accord-ing to Eichler we have here a true concrescence of originally separate members,each of the two stipules being formed out of originally separate primordia. I havefound, however, that in Galium palustre this is not or only seldom the case, butthat sometimes the margin of the primordium of the stipule is swollen up or atleast expanded or obliquely projected \ and certainly we may consider this to bean indication of the primordia of two stipules; more often, however, I foundno such indication, but the stipular primordium appeared uniformly single. Thereis as a fact, in the position of the two stipular primordia here, a new formationwhich presents the appearance of one single leaflet. Comparative morphologywould here speak of a congenital concrescence, which is only a clumsy wayof stating the fact that where other species of Galium have two stipules here thereis only one present from thebeginning. Massart says thatin Sherardia arvensis all the.
