Those who compare It with that oi LoranthaeetB, Santa- lacetB, Olaoacem, &a., consider it a corolla, con- trary to those who side with JussiBF in taking it as a calyx. Without denj-ing the analogies of Proteacece with the ahove orders,we think that the development of the perianth asobserved by Pateb (Organog. Comp., 473, t. 97) indicates a corolla rather than a calyx, for its leaves appear succes- sively, not simultaneously as in Santalaoece, We shall, however, avoid committing ourselves deci- dedly on this point, and simply employ the terms " perianth" and " leaves" {"folioles") in our descriptions, 2 The dissimilarity is chiefly below, owing to the obliquity of the receptacle. As this is cut obliquely downwards and outwards, the anterior leaves are naturally a little the longer. '' They often remain united at the apex j while about half-way up two separate from one another, part of the style escaping through the cleft. Its stigmatiferous apex remains long afterwards still caught between the stamens and the parts of the perianth on a level with the anthers. However, even these parts finally separate, and the leaves commence folding or bending back.
