tically to show the single pistil with two stigmas, long style with nectar 
glands at base, and one- -celled ovary containing a single erect ovule;

tips (of which but three are shown), and bearing as many stamens the ~ 
anthers of which are united into a tube; also appearing above the ovary 
are slender sepals; and at the base of the flower a chaffy bract from the 
axil of which the flower arises. A neutral ray-flower having no stamens 
and only the vestige of a pistil in its rudimentary ovary, but showing 
a chaffy bract at its base, several sepals, and a much enlarged corolla — 
formed as if by the splitting of a tube nearly to the bottom along its
