i. PoIi/s;a}}iia segrcgata. Several flowers, 

 either simple or coni^jound, but with united 

 tubular anthers, and with a partial calyx, 

 all included in one general calyx. Oi' these 

 the Globe-thistle, Echiiiops, and Sfoehe^ 

 Avith Seriphium and Corijinhium, (which 

 two last require to be removed hither from 

 the abolished Linncean Order Sijugencsia 

 Monogamia,) have only 1 floret in each 

 partial calyx ; Jimgia has 3, Ekp/iantopus 

 4, others more. In every case the partial 

 calyx is distinguished from the chaff'y seed- 

 crown observable in several genera of the 

 other Orders, (though the latter is indeed 

 analogous to a calyx,) either by being in- 

 ferior, or by the presence of a seed-crow n, 

 or feathery down, besides. See Lamarck, 

 t, "(X^h — 723, where the plants in question 

 are well represented. 



Class 20. Gi/nandria. Stamens inserted 

 either upon the style or germcn. Orders 9

 ing them are necessary.
