about these flowers; for those you see are

rain may not affect the pollen, and tho
anthers are so situated that tho pollen
falls upon the heads Of the insects which
venture to intrude. The seeds are gath-
cred In a pod, which is controlled by
valves. When the seeds are rtpened,
these valves open suddenly and eject
them; but the seeds OF the oleistogamous
flowers ard most fortile.
The plants bear alternate or basal
leaves, which are divided. or round. or
arrow shaped; and the flowers have five
petals and vary In color from white TO
