84 NOMENCLATURE OF THE FLOWER. 



30. Situation .-The situation of the nectary in 

 different plants is very numerous, among which, perhaps, 

 the following are the most common. 



a. la some plants, the nectary is really a part of the corolla, 

 since it lies within the substance of the petals, as in the lily,iris, &c. 



b. ID many plants, it is placed in a series or row, within the 

 petals or corolla; yet it is entirely unconnected with their sub- 

 stance ; and is said to crown the corolla, as in the passion-flower, 

 swallow-wort, and several others. 



c. In the Indian cress and a few more plants, the nectary is 

 situated upon, and makes a part of the calyx, instead of the corolla. 

 It is called the calycine nectary. 



d. In the bastard flower-fence, the nectary is situated upon the 

 anthers. 



e. In the campanula, laurel, and others, the nectary is placed 

 upon the filaments. 



f. In the stock July-flower, rocket, flowering-rush, and hya- 

 cinth, the nectary is placed upon the germen. 



g. In the honey-flower, orpine, buck-wheat, navel-wort, and 

 several other plants, the nectary is placed upon or attached to the 

 common receptacle. 



OF THE SEED VESSEL. 



40. There are seven different kinds of seed vessels. 

 These are, the capsule, the pod, the legume, the drupe, 

 the pome, the berry, and the cone. 



CAPSULE. 



41. Capsules are said to consist of five parts; viz. 

 valves, sutures, partitions, cells, and a central column. 



a. Valves are the external shell into which the capsule splits. 



b. Sutures are the external surface in which the valves are 

 joined. 



e. Partitions are the parts by which the crpsule is divided into 

 cells.
