Division II. MONOP^TALOUS EXOGENOUS PLANTS. 
Floral envelopes consisting of both calyx and corolla, the 
latter composed of more or less united petals, that is, mono- 
petalous. (The calyx in Composite, &c., is mostly reduced 
to a pappus, or to teeth, scales, or a mere border, or even 
to a mere covering of the surface of the ovary. In some 
plants of the Heath and Holly Families, and in the Thrift, 
&c., the petals are nearly or quite separate.)

lar or wheel-shaped corolla , and inserted on its tube .— 
Fruit a berry, drupe, or pod. Seeds anatropous, with a 
small embryo in fleshy albumen.
