Evidently homologous with the tentacles of Drosera, & not with the glandular hairs of other ordinary plants. Even the backs of the leaves, with the exception of a narrow medial line, are covered with these glands, & there are small ones on the flower-peduncles & on the sepals of the calyx. The glands are of two kinds; small colourless ones which are almost sessile, & larger bright pink ones, of unequal sizes, supported on short footstalks which are green, &, arranged in longitudinal rows. The larger glands have convex their upper surfaces convex & the lower surfaces & flat or concave lower surface, so that they resemble in shape a mushroom in shape. They are composed of rather large pentagonal or hexagonal cells. which are rather smaller towards the centre, & at the circumference are a little produced into rays. The central cells ones, which are rather smaller than the others, generally contain purple granular matter aggregated into mulberry-like masses, whilst the circumferential cells contain only purple fluid. These glands secrete much viscid fluid which is acid.)
