The nature of the tube (which we here only provisionally attribute to the peri- anth, and which we shall call a calyx only in imi- tation of most authors), could not be definitely determined independently of the study of the development. But it is probable from what we observe in the neighbouring groups, that it represents a receptacular organ, bearing at its upper orifice the true perianth, represented by the lobes and the androecium, whilst the bot- tom supports the gynsecium, hence doubtless a striking analogy between Penaa and Oolletia. 3 The pollen is (H.
