54 THE SCHEDULE. [CHAP. 



Of the COROLLA, (cohesion or absence of same), poly- 

 petalous, gamopetalous (regular, irregular). 



Of the STAMENS (cohesion or its absence). As it is 

 important to note the number of stamens, and not simply 

 to write polyandrovs when the stamens are free, what- 

 ever their number may be (as you write polysepalous 

 and polypetalous of calyx or corolla when their parts 

 are separate), write, before the termination -androus, 

 the Greek numeral prefix denoting the number of free 

 stamens, thus : 



If i. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 



mon- di- tri- tetr- pent- hex- hept-androus 

 8. 9. 10. more than 10. 



oct- enne- dec- poly-androus. 



If the stamens cohere by their filaments, they are 

 mon- di- or poly-adelphous j if by their anthers, they are 

 syngenesious. 



(Adhesion or its absence) hypogynous, perigynoits, epi- 

 gynous, epipetalous, gynandrous. 



Of the PISTIL (cohesion or its absence) apocarpous, 

 syncarpous j (adhesion or its absence) superior, inferior. 

 To denote the number of stigmas belonging to the Pistil, 

 whether the carpels be free or coherent (if the latter, the 

 number of carpels being inferred from the divisions of the 

 style or stigma), the same Greek numerals as are employed 

 to indicate the number of stamens are prefixed to the 

 termination -gynous. Thus monogynoits signifies with one 

 style or stigma, poly gynous with many styles, or stigmas, 

 or distinct carpels. I have omitted these terms in the 

 schedules of the Type-species in Part II. of this book, 

 simply noting whether the pistil be apocarpous or syn- 

 carpous. The number of carpels is given in the No. 

 column. 



Of the PERIANTH (cohesion or its absence) pplyphyll- 

 ous, gamophyllo2is (regular, irregular} ; (adhesion or its 

 absence) inferior, siiperior. 



6. The schedule here given, by way of example, is 

 filled up from the Buttercup, with the characters of which 

 you ought to be sufficiently familiar by this time :
