Oldenlandia from India, which is [illeg] likewise heterostyled, as was observed [illeg] long ago by Wight & [illeg] to be the case with some of the species. The The pistil in the long-styled flower is longer by about a quarter of its own length, & the stamens shorter in by about as the same [illeg] proportion, compared with proportion, than the corresponding organs in the short-styled flowers. In the latter the anthers are longer; & the different stigmas decidedly longer & apparently thinner than in the other long-styled form. Owing to the state of the specimen, I could not decide whether the stigmata papillæ were longer in the one form than the other. The pollen-grains, distended with water, from the short-styled flowers are to thosefrom the long-styled, as 100 to 78 in diameter, as deduced from the [ median] mean of the measurements of each kind made by my son Francis.)
