Bijdragen.')—Hildebrand says that in this species the end of the style is often unable to break through the firmly closed anther-cylinder, inside which the stigmatic lobes then expand, and are self-pollinated. Normally, however, the pollen is swept out of the anther-cylinder during the first stage of anthesis by means of a stylar brush. During the second stage the end of the style emerges from the anther-cylinder and unfolds its two tolerably large stigmatic lobes, which are beset with papillae (cf. Fig. 211). 1. 2. Fig. 211.
