A LIG/ULATE, or strap-shaped, corolla, is one which 

 appears as if it were formed by the splitting of the 

 tube on one side. Fig. 223.

ANOM'ALOUS. All other irregular gamopetalous 

 corollas, as Figs. 224 and 225, are called anomalous. 



In describing corollas, the terms cruciferous, lil- 

 iaceous, tubular, etc., may now be used in place of 

 polypetalous, gamopetalous, regular and irregular, as 

 the new terms include these characters, along with 

 others, more limited and special. To say, for ex- 

 ample, that a corolla is cruciferous, is to say that it 

 is polypetalous and regular, and also to state the 

 number and position of its petals. To say that a 

 corolla is strap-shaped, is the same as saying that it 

 is gamopetalous and irregular as well as what par- 

 ticular form it has.
