Indeed a spiral polUniuni dehiscingby a long chink along the convexity of the helix would be astructure, we beUeve, wholly without parallel in the vegetablekingdom. M. Hasskarl, in a communication Die Familieder Commelynaceen—Bulletin du Congrfis de Botauique, &c. Amsterdam, 1866, pp. 103, makes no special mention of this. 2, 2, 2, in the lower figure) it is unnecessary to say anything,AS the description of M. Lemaire appears to be strictly the removal of the petals, and regarding the anterior partof the flower (fig. 6), the two staminodes of which the learnededitor of the Illustration Horticole speaks, maybe seen(3, 3); between them projects the ovary, surmounted by itsstyle (6), both the latter being, at first, partially concealed bythe beaked, bifid organ, which in the generic descriptionbefore cited is considered to be a single stamen. Turningthe flower so as to see its posterior surface (fig. a), at thelower part may be seen the thick tuft of yellow hairs to whichallusion is made, and within this rises what M. Lemaire con-siders to be a single filament, which dilates into a circularfringed disc, the connective of M. Lemaire, above which tapersthe bifid beak before mentioned (4, 4).
