Whenever the receptacle becomes elongated, so 

 that one circle of floral organs is separated from 

 another by a stalk-like internode, the circle thus 

 raised is said to be stipitate, and the stalk supporting 

 it is called a stipe. In Figs. 73 and 74-, the stamens, 

 pistil, and corolla, are stipitate, and the stalk which 

 bears them is the stipe.
