In looking at any of the flowers of this class, it will be found 

 that they consist of a great number of little florets, all growing 

 upon one calyx. The corollas are, in some plants, all alike in 

 shape, either strap-shaped or like a tube in others of two 

 sorts, those on the edge of the flower different in shape from 

 those withinside thus in the Single Marigold the outside 

 flowers are strap-shaped, the inner ones tubular, and this is 

 very often the case. Also, in some plants, all these numerous 

 flowers have both stamens and pointals in others, either the 

 stamens are wanting, or the pointals, or both, and from these 

 circumstances the orders are formed.
