Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Botany, British and Foreign, 1878, Vol. 16 As regards structural details, these may be considered under the following heads: A. Outer Surface of Pitcher and Lick - Here occur stomata of ordinary type, and peculiar glands, each consisting of a group of small cells. Each group, as Viewed from the surface, is of oval form, two cells forming a central oval, with their line of contact across the short diameter, these two cells being surrounded by four others. Similar six-celled glands are also to be found on the inner surface of the pitcher-lid, on the corrugated rim of the pitcher, and on both surfaces of the non-ascidiform leaves. The most remarkable structures, however, connected with the outside of the pitcher are the pale brown hairs already noted. Each of these is an elongated cell with pointed extremity and a broad truncated base imbedded in a slightly elevated group of epidermis cells. This unicellular hair is solid from the tip to within a half or a third of the distance from the base. The cell cavity thus reduced is bounded by a distinct and highly refractive wall, and the appearance is thus presented of one hair encapsulated within another. According to the modern View of cell-thickening by interstitial intus-susception, this would be a remarkable case of the differentiation of the thickened cell-wall into two layers of different character. These hairs are minutely tuberculated on the outer surface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
