In this latter form the length of the stigmas varies considerably, their upper extremities projecting even a little above tlie anthers, or reaching up*only to about their middle. Isevertheless, there is never the slightest difficulty in distinguishing between the two forms ; for, besides the difference in the divergence of the stigmas, those of the short-styled form never reach even to the bases of the anthers. In this form the papilloe on the stig- matic surfaces are shorter, darker-coloured, and more crowded together than in the long-styled form; but these differences seem due merely to the shortening of the stigma, for in the varieties of the long-styled form with shorter stigmas, the papillae are more crowded and darker-coloured than in those with the longer
