APPENDIX II. 



(often absent) one of which springs from either side of the 

 leaf base (i.e., where the stalk of the leaf or the base of a 

 sessile leaf leaves the stem) and either membranous or 

 foliaceous in texture, usually small but sometimes exceeding 

 the leaf -blade ( which they often protect) in bnd. 



Stolon, a slender stem nsually furnished at first with 

 scale-leaves only, springing from the root or base of the stem 

 and extending some distance under or on the ground, 

 ultimately rooting and giving rise to a new plant. 



Strophiole, a thickening about the hilum or base of a 

 seed, perhaps of the nature of an incomplete aril. 



Style, a slender outgrowth or appendage of a carpel 

 bearing the stigma. The style may be absent. In an ovary 

 of more than one carpel the separate styles may be distinct 

 or more or less connate into one ; in the latter cases the 

 stigmas may be distinct or fused. 



Subujate, awl-shaped, i.e. t slender and tapering to a 

 point. 



SuffrutesotJiit, somewhat shrubby. 



Sulcate, grooved. 



Superior, situated above another member. A superior 

 ovary has its base above the insertion of the calyx, a superior 

 calyx is inserted at a level above the top of the ovary. 



Suture, a seam, the line marking the connate edges of a 

 carpel and sometimes also the line marking the mid-rib of 

 the carpel. 



Sympodium, an apparent main axis made up of the lower 

 parts of successive axes each of which has completed its 

 growth after giving off the strong lateral shoot which in its 

 turn forms part of the sympodium. 



Syncarpous, see ovary. 



Synandrous, with the stamens united throughout. 



Syngenesious, with the anthers cohering
