tlic llcinisphcrical and the C'ratcritorin or Sau('('r-.slia])ccl, as in the 

 Kalmia (Fig. 103). When still more flattened out it becomes Rotate 

 or Wlieel sha])ed, as in the SoIa}iiiin (P^ig. 92). 



A ganiopetalous corolla sometimes has a fissure on one side extending 

 nearly or entirely to the base as in the Lobelia (Fig. 9G). When in 

 addition the corolla or the split portion of it loses its tubular form, 

 becoming flattened out, it is called Lignlatc or Strap-shaped, as in the 

 Dandelion (P^ig. 104).

Accuracy Required in the Use of Terms.— The applicability to the tube 

 and limb separately of many of the terms here applied to the entire 

 corolla is apparent. It should be noted, however, that very detailed 

 descriptions of these res])ective parts, as well as of the throat, with 

 specification of any irregularities and marks, are often imperatively 

 demanded. This is es])ecially true of the florets of the Compositae, 

 where such cliaraetcrs, although \'ery slight, fr{>(|ueiitly serve for si)ecific 

 distinction. 



Special terms for forms resulting from the possession of a])pendages 

 will be considered hiter. 



Terms Indicating Irregularity. — Terms indieating irregularity will next 

 be considered, commencing with those ai)plicable to the entire body. 



Either the base or the mouth is ()bli{(ue when a plane transecting 

 it is not at right angles to the lloral axis. The body is declined (Fig.
