We shall return to this point a little later when we shall endeavour to show that in P. j^^'i'i^cejJS, the axes ahvays bear emergences, though sometimes they are of microscopic size. We may agree with Halle that the spiny shoots {P. ornatum of Dawson) are not known in the fertile state. These shoots are 1 Halle (1916), p.
