Stamens of several plants of the Labiate or Mint Family. Fig. 300. Of a Monarda : the two anther-cells with bases divergent so that they are transverse to the filament, and their contiguous tips confluent, so as to form one cell opening by a continuous line. Fig. 301. Of a Calamintha: the broad connec- tive separating the two cells. Fig. 302. Of a Sage (Salvia Texana ; with long and slender connective resembling forks of the filament, one bearing a good anther-cell; the other an abortive one. Fig. 303. Another Sage (S. coccinea), with connective longer and more thread-shaped, the lower fork having its anther-cell wholly wanting. FlG. 304. Of a White Sage, Audibertia grandiflora; the lower fork of connective a mere vestige. Fig. 305.
