A reconsideration of the influence of boundary layer structure on a stellar wind is presented, in which Couturier et al's (1979) discussion of the role of the conductive flux boundary layer is extended to include the role of the temperature boundary layer. It is shown that the constraint between the wind parameters is insensitive to the temperature at the lower level, so that the structure of the wind, including the transition zone, is dependent on the mechanical flux entering the transition zone only. Although the structure of the wind is determined by the heating mechanism, the conclusion given is independent of mechanism.
