Botany. Raffiesia Arnoldi, Seed (mag,). Raffiesia. Partial section of the seed, showiDg the iindivided embryo () (mag.). Parasites on the roots and sometimes on the tranches of dicotyledonous ^plants. Perianth monophyllous, regular. Corolla 0, or rarely 4-petalous (Apodanthefe). Anthers oo , 1- (rarely 2-3-) seriate (ApodantlieEe). Otart 1-celled, with several many- ovuled placentas ; ovules orthotropous, sometimes sub-anatropous. Fruit indehiscent, many-seeded. Embryo undivided, albuminous or not. Tribe I. BAFFLESIE^. Flowers 2 or dioecious. Perianth 5-10-fid, sestivation imbricate (Raffiesia, Sapria), or valvate (Brugmansia); anthers 1-seriate, adnate under the dilated top of a staminal column (synema), and opening by a single or double pore. Ovary with confluent or distinct many-ovuled placentas. Pericarp semi-adherent or free, fleshy. Seeds recurved, funicle dilated at the top. Embryo albuminous, axile, shorter than the albumen.— Parasites on the roots of Vines. Flower sub-sessile, bracts imbricate. GENEEA. Raffiesia. Sapria, Brugmansia. Tribe II. EYDNORB^. Flowers . Perianth 3-fid, sestivation valvate. Stamens inserted on the perianth-tube; anthers numerous, dehiscence longitudinal, united into a 3-lobed ring, of which each lobe is opposite to the perianth-segments. Ovary inferior; stigma sessile, depressed, of 3 lobes formed by apposed lamellse, distinct to the cavity of the ovary, where they become placentiferous; p
