32 THE SECOND BOOK OF BOTANY. 



The number and length of the hard words in this 

 exercise may embarrass the pupils, but a little use will 

 make them familiar, and they will then greatly help 

 the process of description. 



Collect all the plants in the neighborhood, from 

 garden, road-side, fields, and woods, and in describing 

 their stamens you will become well acquainted with 

 all the necessary terms. 



Syngenesious (sun, Gr., together ; genesis, origin). 

 Monadelphous (monos, Gr., one ; adelphos, brother). 

 Diadelphous (dis, Gr., twice). 

 Polyadelphous (polus, Gr., many). 



EXERCISE X. 

 The Growing together of Carpels. 



You have been accustomed to counting the car- 

 pels of flowers, and you are now to find whether or 

 not they are grown together. 



All such as are not grown together at all you may 

 label apocarpous (Fig. 31).
