BOTANY. 



Observe the flowers upon the chart in this respect. 



Examine all the flowers you can find, and label them 

 by the insertion of the stamens ; as, stamens under the 

 ovary, or hypogynous ; stamens upon the calyx, or perigy- 

 nous ; 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 dif- 

 ferent 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 adhesion, 

 and the word distinct, absence of cohesion.
