The modes of attachment, pictured and named 

 above, shade into each other, so that, in practice, it 

 is often difficult to determine them. The versatile 

 passes into the adnate, and the adnate into the in- 

 nate, and a nice exercise of judgment is sometimes 

 needed in describing this feature of flowers. 



Find these several modes of attachment on the 

 charts. Determine and describe the mode of attach- 

 ment in each of your living specimens.
