Analogy: resemblance in certain re- 

 spects. As distinguished from af- 

 Jinily it means resemblance in cer- 

 tain respects onli/, not in the whole 

 plan of structure. Thus a Ranun- 

 culus is wialorjous to a Potentilja, 

 but there is no near affinity or re- 

 lationship between the two. And 

 the tendril of a Pea, that of a Smi- 

 lax, and that of the Grape- Vine are 

 analogues, i. c. are ana/o(/oits organs, 

 but are not homologues ; for the first 

 answers to a leaf, the second to 

 stipules, and the third to a stem. 

 The spur of a Larkspur (fig. 398) 

 is analogous to one of the five spurs 

 of Columbine (fig. 646), but not 

 homologous with it, for tiie first is 

 a sepal, and the second a petal.
