Fig. 488.—Saxifraga granulata. Longitudinal section
of flower.
The following genera are allied to the Saxifragaceæ:—
1. Parnassia (about 14 species; P. palustris, Grass of Parnassus).
The flower is slightly perigynous, and has S5, P5, 5 fertile sepal-
stamens, and 5 petal-stamens, which are developed as barren
staminodes, palmately-lobed, and (3–) 4 carpels united in a 1-locular
ovary with (3–) 4 parietal placentæ. Capsule.—Protandrous. The flower
has a slightly oblique plane of symmetry, which is especially shown during its
development and in the order of sequence in which the anthers dehisce: originally
they lie closely round the gynœceum; the anthers dehisce extrorsely, first the one
which is placed opposite the most external sepal (the 2/5 arrangement is very
distinct in the calyx), the filament elongating so that the anther lies over the ovary,
and this is followed successively by the 4 others in a zig-zag line; the filaments
bend backwards after the pollen is shed and the anthers drop off, and the stigmas
are not developed until this is completed. The barren stamens are palmately
divided into an uneven number (7, 9, 11) of lobes, tapering from the centre towards
the edge, and bearing apparently glandular tips; their gland-like appearance is
supposed to allure flies to visit the flower, or they may act as a kind of fence which
compels the insects to enter the flower in a certain way, and thus effect pollination;
the honey is secreted on their inner side, and not by the gland-like tips.

(l); b foliage-leaf of the ordinary form.]
2. Adoxa moschatellina (Moschatel). This is a perennial, creeping
herb; the horizontal rhizome has an unlimited growth, and bears, in a
scattered arrangement, both foliage-leaves, and white, fleshy scale-
leaves. The aerial stem bears 2 opposite foliage-leaves and a
capitate inflorescence of 5 flowers, 4 placed laterally (in opposite
pairs) and 1 terminally. The flower is semi-epigynous, the calyx
gamosepalous, corolla absent. The stamens are divided to the base,
so that each filament bears a bilocular anther. The style is free,
deeply cleft. The terminal flower has 2 bracteoles, 4 sepals, 4
stamens, cleft to the base, and a 4-locular ovary. The bracts of the
lateral flowers are displaced on the flower-stalk, as in
Chrysosplenium, and united with the 2 bracteoles into a kind of 3-
leaved involucre; these flowers have 5 sepals, 5 split stamens with
2-locular anthers, and a 5-locular ovary. 1 pendulous ovule in each
loculus. Fruit a drupe, green-coloured, with 1–5 stones.—This plant,
which would perhaps be best placed in a special order, has also
been classed with the Araliaceæ and Caprifoliaceæ.
The following are also allied to this order: Escalloniaceæ (arborescent plants
with simple, scattered, leathery leaves), Cunoniaceæ (arborescent with opposite
leaves), Cephalotaceæ (with pitcher-like, insect-catching leaves; Australia; Fig.
489) and Francoaceæ. These have respectively 85, 107, 1 and 3 species.
