The fruit is dry, elongated, and narrowly spindle- shaped, but its walls are extended into two, three, or four large dry ' The pollen consists of large globular grains, bristling with conical papillae, and often slightly mossy »t the apex. 2 The rim of these cornets is obliquely trun- cate, either from before or backwards or on one side. They probably correspond with the glands found at the base of the staminal fila- ments in Gyrocm-pm and the true Lawraoece.
