64 SCHEDULES. [chap. 



being described, the term half-superior would be entered 

 in the same place, as in this plant the calyx becomes 

 half-superior, from the partial adhesion of its tube to the 

 ovary. 



5. The terms employed in filling up schedules are : — 



Of the CALYX (cohesion or its absence), polysepaloiis^ 

 gamosepaloiis ; (adhesion or its absence) inferior, superior. 



Of the COROLLA (cohesion or absence of same), poly- 

 petalous, gamopetalous, regular, irregular ; (adhesion or its 

 absence) hypogyjious, perigy7ious, epigy?ious. 



Of the STAMENS (cohesion or its absence) ; as it is im- 

 portant to note the number of stamens, and not simply to 

 \vntQ poly androus when the stamens are free, whatever their 

 number may be, as you write polysepalous and polypetalous 

 of calyx or corolla when their parts are separate, ^vrite 

 before the termination -a?idrous the Greek numeral prefix 

 denoting the number of free stamens, thus : — 



If I, 2, 3. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. more than 10, 

 mon- di- tri- tetr- pent- hex- kept- oct- entte- dec- poly-andi-ous. 



If the Stamens cohere by their filaments, they are mon-, 

 di-, or poly-adelphous ; if by their anthers, they are syngen- 

 esious. 



(Adhesion or its absence) hypogynous, perigynous, epigy- 

 nous, epipetalous, gyftandrous. 



Of the PISTIL (cohesion or its absence), apocarpous, syn- 

 carpous ; (adhesion or its absence) superior, inferior. To 

 denote the number of carpels constituting the pistil, whether 

 they be free or coherent (if the latter, the number being 

 inferred from the divisions of the style or stigma), the same 

 Greek numerals as are employed to indicate the number of 

 stamens are prefixed to the termination -gynous. Thus 

 monogynous signifies with one style or stigma, polygynous
