THE FLOWER. 



Sometimes they are consolidated with the pistil, 

 as shown in Fig. 58 ; then they are gynandrous, or 

 upon the pistil. 



FIG 57. 



Epipetalous Stamens. 



Gynandrous Pistil. 



Examine all the flowers you can find, and label 

 them by the insertion of the stamens ; as, stamens 

 un'der the ovary, or hypogynous ; stamens upon the 

 calyx, or perigynous / stamens upon the ovary, or 

 epigynous ; stamens upon the corolla, or epipetalous ; 

 stamens consolidated with the pistil, or gynandrous. 



Adhesion in botany means the growing together 

 of different floral whorls, while cohesion, as you have 

 seen, means the growing together of the parts of the 

 same whorl. 



The word free is used to express absence of ad- 

 hesion, and the word distinct, absence of cohesion. 



In Fig. 59 there is neither cohesion nor adhesion. 



FIG. 59. 



Parts, distinct. Organs, free.
