Obs. E x investigatione specierum ultra 5o patet, dissepi-
mentum esse duplicatum etex inflexis marginibus valvula-
rum ortum, in quibusdam tamen, iis praecipue, quae capsula
compressa gaudent, eiusdem lamellae arctissime in-
vicem valvulisque cohaerent, quo eontrarium evadit disse-
pimentum, et tunc id quidem saepius per axin bipartibile;
in nonnullis autem, a yalvulis omnino discedens, liberum
et parallelum est. In ea sectione, quae capsula biparti-
bili dignoscitur, placenta, pediceliata et gracilis, vel alteri
segmento cohaeret, vel ab utroque separatur. In toto ge-
nere valvulae plus minus fissae, in pluribus usque ad
basin partitae.
