Fig. 194.—Longitudinal section through a leaf of Lathrea. x 60. cavities bears two forms of glands (Fig. 195). The first are in the form of a little head, consisting of two cells on a short stalk. In the other the cells of the head form a flattened dome. Both kinds of cells emit delicate proto- plasmic filaments exactly like those of Ehizopoda (Fig. 196). When any small animals penetrate into the chambers the projecting cells begin to emit filaments which entangle and capture them, and by degrees suck out all that can be digested, leaving only the claws, hairs, and other hard parts. Several naturalists have.
