Flowers with this conformation, however, remainexpanded and fresh for several days, in marked contrast tothose of the first form, which close up in a very few hours. In the median line of the upper surface of the rostellumthere is a well-marked ridge (Fig. 22) which runs out to the tipto form the central promontory of the rostellum.
