thium. In this case, the cup-shaped hypanthium bears numer- 
ous male flowers (each with one stamen), and a long-stalked 
female flower. 
Pharmacognostically, there belong to the flowers and forms 
of inflorescence, the developed, complete, officinal, separate 
flowers of the phenogams, and likewise the buds of individual 
flowers, for example, Caryophylli. Furthermore, undeveloped 
forms of inflorescence, Flores Cine (Santonica), as well as the 
expanded inflorescence, such as Flores Arnice, Flores Chamo- 
mille. Flores Koso (Brayera) consist of the inflorescence from 
which the petals have fallen. In the case of the compo- 
site flowers, the involucral scales are still present in the drug, 
perhaps with the sole exception of Flores Arnice. Finally, 
Flores Rhewados, Flores Verbasci and Flores Rose represent 
only the petals or corollas, and Orocws only the stigmas, 
From the ovary with the ovules there is produced, after fer- 
tilization has taken place, the fruit containing the seed. 
Fruits, aggregate or collective fruits, or parts of fruits of the 
angiosperms and gymnosperms are officinal with or without the 
seeds. For the rind (pericarp) of the Aurantiex, which in the 
fresh state is juicy, the customary, though incorrect designation 
of cortex may be retained here, in order to avoid the introduc- 
tion of a new term. : 
By the term “fruit” we mean here only the ovary which, as 
a result of fertilization, is in process of maturing, or has already 
become fully matured. Its outer wall, and the dissepiments and 
placenta, may thereby suffer the most manifold changes, by 
which other parts, including those not belonging to the flower, are 
also frequently affected, as, e. g., in the case of the fig, Fructus 
Juniperi, the apple and strawberry, which are therefore to be 
designated as pseudo-carps. 
In the jig, as likewise in the strawberry and the apple, the 
upper -part of the axis participates in the formation of the 
(pseudo-) fruit (hence the name : hypanthodium'), which in all 
three cases assumes a fleshy character. In Juniperus, however, 
_ it is the three bracts of the flowers which become fleshy.
