| Abstract: | Hiptage sericea is shown to possess both lipophilic glands and extrafloral nectaries. Both types of glands develop from a group of initials and show similarities in organisation of tissue systems and secretion. The nature of the secretory substances is however different. The occurrence and function of the glands are discussed. |
