CLASS X. EPICOROLLEJE SYNANTHER*. 



30. This class embraces compound flowers, in which 

 the anthers are united. The florets are tubular, inserted 

 together on a common receptacle, which is either naked, 

 scaly or hairy. Each corolla is epigynous or inserted 

 above the germen. 



The flowers usually consist of one tabular petal ; in'some instances 

 flosculous, having a regular limb, almost always divided into five 

 segments ; in others ligulate, the limb being extended into a lateral 

 flat expansion, entire or toothed at its extremity ; stamens definite, 

 almost always five, with distinct filaments inserted into the corolla ; 

 anthers united into a tube, very rarely approximated only ; germen 

 inferior, simple, standing on the common receptacle ; style une, 

 passing through the tube formed by the anthers ; stigma generally 

 deeply divided, rarely single ; seed one, either naked or crowned 

 with a border, wing or down ; albumen none; radicle inferior; 

 flowers sometimes all flosculous or all ligulate, in the same calyx ; 

 or those of the centre are flosculous, while those of the margin are 

 lignlate. 



31. This is a very natural class, composed of only 

 three orders ; viz. cichoraceee, cynarocephala: and corym-
