Excerpt from Hooker's Journal of Botany and Kew Garden Miscellany, 1849, Vol. 1 Among the examples just given, we have (at fig. 1 9) very distinct traces of the formation of several rudimentary appendages round the axis of the bud. A rudimentary scale, stamen, and ovaries, fig. 20, are well marked, and indicate the fact that the bud is strictly oral in its character, and is composed of several internodes. We may now readily anticipate the occasional exhibition of a still more complete development of oral appendages upon it, and such are often found to be numerous and well marked. The scales are often more or less mem brancas and closely resemble the ordinary glumte and palest of regularly formed spikelets. Those which belong exclusively to the bud are easily distinguishable from the wings, which we have considered to result from some joint in uence of both axes of development. In fig. 23 is represented the most highly developed state I have noticed of the stamens. In this case, distinct traces of pollen occurred, though the grains did not contain granules. Some of the stamens were free and well formed, but others were coherent and associated, as in the three at fig. 24.
