JJfurgens fcarcely differs from adfcendens or incurvus : it feems pecu- 

 liarly proper to defcribe the change which takes place in the po- 

 fition of the leaves of Mimofa and other fleeping plants. 



Ax'n. Synonymous with Columella. 



Blria folia. Leaves inferted in three very different ways may yet all 

 be called bina : either when they are oppofite, as in Lamitm; 

 fafciculated, as in Pinus ; or approximated, as in the flowering- 

 branches of Datura^ 



Calathiformis. Bowl-lliaped : hemifphsrical and concave. Tab. 5. 



Calyx. Juflieu, to whofe judgement I pay the higheft deference, 

 contends that this term is the mofl proper for that involucrum, 

 which in the natural order of Liliacecv has hitherto commonly 

 been called corolla. Among other rcafons he adduces the Lin- 

 nean canon, that this part is a continuation of the cuticle of the 



. plant. I very much doubt, however, if this really be true ; for 

 the fpatha in this natural order feems to me the lirft expanfion 

 of the cuticle, and the true calyx. A proper bradlea will always 

 be found at the bafc of the pedunculus, though in many genera 

 it is hid between the infcrtion of the leaves ; but in Hamaiithus it 

 is coloured, and very confpicuous. 



Campanulaltis. Somewhat like the bell of a church ; at the bafe 

 more or lefs bellying out, with the rim a little recurved. Fig, 6. 



Capreohitus. Synonymous with cirrlrifus. 



Circltialis. This term is confined by Linne to defcribe the manner 

 in which the young fpikes in the natural order of Boragi/ieo', and
