According to Warnstorf the longer stamens have only one anther chamber. Besides the complete flowers, there are others with rudimentary anthers, which are sometimes on the same, sometimes on distinct plants. When the corolla has faded the calyx closes tightly over the ovary, forming the helmet-shaped hood, and protecting the young seeds. S. minor has the habit of the former species, but is a smaller, slenderer plant, with much smaller pale pink- purple flowers. Leontjeus Protandrous or homogamous bee flowers repre- sented by L. Oardiaca, a pubescent plant now established, though rare, in this country. ^ Neiie Beohachtungeii iiber d, Sestduhungs â Mnrichtungen einJieiinischer Pflanzen.
