by the general name Peri car pium j* and the bare 

 of the flower, named Receptaculum, as shewn in 

 the example of the Dandelion, in the plate to illustrate 

 the character of Class XIX. 



Thus they may be arranged, with their distinctive 

 botanical names, Calyx, Corolla, Stamen, Pistillum, 

 Pericarpium, Semen, Receptaculum. 



Plate I. exhibits a Stamen and a Pistillum, each 

 subdivided with their respective botanical names. 

 The Pistillum into three parts, Germen, Style, 

 Stigma -, of these parts, the Stigma, and the Ger- 

 men which contains the embrio seed, are indispen- 

 sable ; but the Style is often wanting, as in the Grass 

 of Parnassus, Poppy, &c. The Stamen is divided 

 into two parts, Filament, Anther a ; but that which 

 is essential to the fertilizing the seed, is an apparently 

 fine dust, or powder, contained in the Anthera, 



fl The word Pericarpium expresses whatever surrounds the 

 seed, from a similar etymology with the wordPerianthium, and 

 the scientific name of this part is Capsula : Capsula, therefore, 

 maybe considered as a generic term, and Linnaeus has arranged 

 seven kinds of coverings under this head, by these names: 



2 Capsula, properly so called, a dry seed vessel of a woody 

 coriaceous or membranous texture, as the fruit of the Tea, 

 Cyamus nelumbo, &c. 



2 Siliqua, Pod. 5 Pomum, Apple. 



3 Lbgu men (no English synonyme.) 6 Bacca, Berry. 



4 Dku pa, Stone fruit. 7 Strobilus, Cone.
