Calycine, resembling a calyx in texure rather than petals. 



Calyptrate, falling off as a cap without expanding, e.g., 

 the petals of many vines. 



Calycnlus, (1) a calyx-like assemblage of minute leaves 

 subsidiary to the true calyx and outside of it or (2) a calyx- 

 like organ, e.g., in some Loranthacese of which the morphology 

 is doubtful, and may be a part of the torus (as in Escholtzia). 



Calyx, the outer of the floral envelopes where these are 

 differentiated into calyx and corolla. The term is also used 

 where the inner floral envelope or corolla is considered as 

 suppressed. See Flower. 



Calyx-tube, the tube or cup formed by the cohesion of the 

 leaves of the calyx. Also applied to an annular zone of the 

 torus which grows up and bears the calyx or sepals, and 

 frequently other members such as petals, etc., on its edge, see

Capitulum, a head of flowers. 



Capsule, a form of fruit which becomes dry when ripe 

 and opens by two or more valves. 



Carpel, the modified leaves which bear the ovules. The 

 carpels occupy the center of the flower when present {e.g., in 

 female oi hermaphrodite flowers) and together form the 

 ovary, q. v. See also Intro., p. 49. 



Carpophore, the axis of the ripe ovary from which the 

 separate ripe carpels are sometimes pendant. 



Caruncle, a peculiar growth at the apical or micropylar 

 e nd of the seed. 



Catkin, a peculiar form of inflorescence consisting of an 

 elongated axis clothed with bracts in the axils of which are
