1. The origin and vascular bundles of branches, leaves, and bulbils are described, and the conclusion is reached that the bulbil is comparable to a leaf rather than to a branch. 2. The accumulation of starch in the bulbil proper is ascribed to the absence of phloem in the narrow neck joining it to the base, and the detachment of the ripe bulbil to the disorganization of the xylem walls in this region. 3. The rate of growth is estimated from the persistent bases of the bulbils, and observations are made on the habits of the plant.
