THE FLOWER. 33 



Those that are grown together, whether slightly 

 at the base of the ovary or through the whole length 

 of the pistil, you label syncarpow (Figs. 32 and 33).

Syncarpous Pistil. Syncarpous Pistil. 



Find all the apocarpous ovaries pictured upon the 

 charts. All the syncarpous ones. 



Find also the apocarpous ovaries in your collec- 

 tion of flowers. The syncarpous ones. 



For this exercise, faded flowers, and even those 

 that have lost their floral leaves, will serve better 

 than such as are freshly opened. 



Apocarpous (apo, Gr., apart ; karpos, fruit). 

 Syncarpous (sun, Gr., together ; Tcarpos, fruit). 



COHESION. In botany this word is used for the 

 growing together of parts with their fellows, as of 

 petals with petals, carpels with carpels. Figs. 38 and 

 42 illustrate this.
