 of one kind only ; homocen'tric 

 (Kevrpov = centre of a circle), con- 

 centric (Crozier) ; homoceph'alic 

 (/ce0a\7), a head), Delpino's term 

 for homogamy when the anthers 

 fertilise the stigma of another 

 flower of the same inflorescence ; 

 homochlamyd'eous (xXa^i/s, a 

 mantle), the perianth leaves all 

 alike ; Homochro'matism (xpiD/xa, 

 colour), constant as to the colour- 

 ing of the flower ; homochro'mous, 

 uniform in colour ; homoclin'ic, 

 homocli'nous (xXivri, abed), used by 

 Delpino for that kind of homo- 

 gamy when the anthers fertilise 

 the stigma of the same complete 

 flower ; homodrom'ic, homod'ro- 

 mal, homod'romous, -mus (5p6/j,os, 

 a course), having the spirals all of 

 the same direction ; Homod'roniy, 

 uniformity in direction of spirals ; 

 Homody'namous (Si^a/us, strength), 

 equal in strength or vigour. 



Homoeog'amy (o/toios, like, 71x^05, 

 marriage), the impregnation of an 

 antipodal cell, instead of the 

 oosphere as in Balanophora ; (Van 

 Tieghem), Homoeo'sis (iju>s, dawn), 

 Bateson's term for Metamorphy, a 

 variation by assumption by one 

 member of a meristic series, of the 

 form or character proper to others. 



homog'amous, -mus (6/j.os, one and the 

 same, yd/j.os, marriage), bearing one 

 kind of flower; Homog'amy, simulta- 

 neous ripeness of pollen and stigmas 

 in a perfect flower ; by Delpino 

 divided into HOMOCEPHALIC ~, 



HOMOCLINIC <- , or MONOECIOUS ~ ; 



homoge'neous, homoge'neal (yevos, 

 race, kind), of the same kind or 

 nature, uniform, opposed to hetero- 

 geneous ; Hom'ogone (yovos, off- 

 spring), a plant bearing only one 

 kind of flowers ; adj. homog'onous, 

 Homog'ony, the state of uniform 

 respective length of anthers and 

 stigmas in perfect flowers ; homo- 

 stylous ; the opposite of Heter- 

 ogony. 

 homoiochlamyd'eous (6^0 tos, like, 



s, a mantle), used by Engler 

 and Prantl when the perianth is 

 uniform ; homoiom'erous (/uepos, a 

 part), used of a Lichen thallus when 

 the gonidia and hyphae are dis- 

 tributed in about equal propor- 

 tions ; Wallroth employed the word 

 homoeom'eres from OjUoto/xeprjs. 

 homol'ogous (6/j.os, one and the same, 

 \6yos, discourse), of one type, 

 constructed on the same plan, 

 though varying in form and func- 

 tion, as leaves and parts which 

 answer morphologically to leaves ; 

 ~ Alternation of Generations, differ- 

 entiation of generations which are 

 fundamentally alike as regards 

 descent, either in form or the 

 character of their reproductive 

 organs, cf. ANTITHETIC ; Hom'o- 

 logue, the equivalent of certain 

 organs ; Homol'ogy, the identity of 

 parts apparently different ; homo- 

 m'alous (Crozier), nomomal'lous, 

 -lus (/uaXXos, a lock of wool), re- 

 curved, arising from all sides but 

 turned to one direction ; homo- 

 mer'icus (/x^pos, a part) = HOMOI- 

 OMEROUS ; homomor'phous, -phux, 

 homomor'pliic, (fj.op<pri, form), uni- 

 form in shape ; Homomor'phy, 

 uniformity, as when the disk and 

 ray florets of Compositae are alike ; 

 either normally or by conversion 

 of the disk florets from tubular 

 into ligulate florets ; Hom'onym, 

 Homon'ymon(6i'o / tta, aname),botani- 

 cally, the same specific name in 

 another genus of the same plant, 

 as Myrtus buxifolia, Sw. is a 

 Homonym as well as a Synonym 

 of Eugenia bnxifolia,Wi\ld.; homo- 

 cm' erous = HOMOIOMEROUS ; homo- 

 pet'alous (TreraXov, a flower leaf), 

 (1) all petals being alike; (2) the 

 receptacle of Compositae when the 

 florets are alike, as the Ligulatae ; 

 homophy'adic, homophya'deus (<pvij, 

 growth), applied to those species 

 of Equisetum, whose fertile and 

 barren stems are similar in form ; 

 Homoplas'my (Tr\dff/j.a, moulded),
