forms. But the evidence is seems sufficient to leave hardly a doubt that Androsace is heterostyled. Fritz Müller sent me from S. Brazil dried flowers of a Statice which he believed to be heterostyled, The pistils In the one form are the pistil is considerably longer, & the stamens slightly shorter than the corresponding organs in the other form. But as in the shorter-styled form the stigmas reach up to the anthers of the same flower, & I could not detect in the dried specimens of the two forms no any difference in their papillæ on the stigmas, or in the size of the pollen-grains, I dare not rank them this plant as heterostyled. In a large number of plants the pistils From statements made by Vaucher I had thought was led to think the Soldanella alpina was dimorphous heterostyled but it is impossible that Kerner who has closely studied this plant, could have overlooked the fact. So again from some from other statements it appeared possible that Pyrola might be dimorphic heterostyled, but H. Müller examined for me two species in N. Germany, & found this not to be the case.)
