Fio. 39.—Diagram of ovary (Brachyceras) in longitudinal section: a, axile process; c, carpellary style; n, air-canals; r, receptacle; s, stijmatic papilhe; t, torus, with bases of floral leaves. Fio. 40.—Diagram of ovary in transverse section: a, syncarpous; b, apocarpous. The stigmatic surface (Fig. 39, s), is usually yellow and densely papillose. The papillae completely cover the upper surface of the small rounded dorsal projections of the carpels of N. gigantea, and in other species they extend for a short distance up on the inner face of the carpellary styles. The styles themselves are, as indicated, wanting in N. gigantea. In Brachy- ceras they are short, stiff, orange-colored bodies, grading from mere points in N. elegans to erect processes in or stout, incurved bodies cm. long in N. Zanzibar iensis. In Xanthantha and Chamaenymphaea they are more or less ligulate, and stand out horizontally in the basal part. In Eu-castalia and Lotos they are to cm. long, ligulate and flexible, and in Hydrocallis of about the same length, slender and terete below, with a large clavate end. In the structure of the ovary Caspary (1865) was first to recognize two fundamentally different types. In most of the old group Cyanea of De Candolle and Planchon he found the walls between the cells of the ovary.
