Class II. OF COLLECTIVE TERMS. 



It has been already explained, that collective terms are those which apply to 

 plants, or their parts, considered in masses ; by which is meant that they cannot 

 be applied to any one single part or thing, without a reference to a larger number 

 being either expressed or understood. Thus, when leaves are said to be opposite, 

 that term is used with respect to several, and not to one ; and when a panicle is 

 said to be lax, or loose, it means that the flowers of a panicle are loosely arranged; 

 and so on. 



1. Of Arrangement. 



1 . Opposite (oppositus) ; placed on opposite sides of some other body or thing 

 on the same plane. Thus, when leaves are opposite, they are on opposite 

 sides of the stem ; when petals are opposite, they are on opposite sides of the 

 ovary ; and so on. 



2. Alternate (alternus) ; placed alternately one above the other on some common 



body, as leaves upon the stem. 



3. Stellate (stellatus, stelliformis, stellulatus) ; the same as verticillate, No. 4., 



except that the parts are narrow and acute.
