such parts of the axis, bracts, etc., which are accrescent in 

 fruit. 



Fruit, the ovary (in the case of an apocarpous ovary,, all 

 the carpels) and its contents after the fertilization of the 

 ovules, including in the case of inferior ovaries the accre- 

 Bcent or investing part of tbe floral axis, e.g., apple. 



(Note. —Some botanists term each carpel of an apocarpous fruit a 

 fruit.) 



Frutescent, becoming shrubby. 



Fruticose, shrubby, 



Fngacious, rapidly dying or falling off. 



Funicle, the stalk by which tho ovule is attached to the 

 placenta of the ovary. 



Furcate, forked. 



Gamo-, in composition means united or in one piece, i.e., 

 not divided to the base into separate members, e.g., gamo- 

 phyllous, with the perianth leaves united at least below ; 

 gamopetalous, with the corolla more or less tubular, below, 

 etc. The term is used even where theoretically, perhaps, 

 the lower or tubular portion is an annular zone of the floral 

 axis of the same texture as the leaves, petals, etc., concerned. 



Geminate, in pairs. 



Gibbous, swollen on one side, humped. 

 Glabrate, nearly glabrous. 

 Glabrous, without any hairs. 



Glabrescent, with deciduous hairs, becoming glabrous. 

 Glaucous, of a blue-green colour. 



Glume, the bracts and bracteoles on the spikelets of the 

 grasses and sedges. 



Gonophore, an internodo of the floral axis between tha 

 corolla and stamens, and hence bearing both the stamens aDd 

 the pistil. Cp. Gvnophore.
